Sailing!

I've been going through some old 'drafts' that never got published...probably because something else came up, and I didn't have time to post!  I think I will start publishing some of them, in between other posts.
This one was to show you about some stuff I got at a garage sale, when my Shug and I stopped at a couple one morning when we were running errands together, this past summer. 

These came in a box with other stuff.  I couldn't decide between these, that match my wall hen perfectly and would look cute sitting on the shelf,

or the ones already sitting on the shelf that I like for their color, but don't really use.  So far, I still have the red, blue, yellow ones sitting there.  Do you use little cups like that for coffee and tea, or do you use mugs?  Personally I use mugs.  I decided though that my style of decorating is not so much 70's colors.  I grew up in the 70's with the greens, browns, and golds, but I'm more into the cottage-type colors. 

I loved this milk glass cookie jar?  I already have one, but couldn't resist another.  Which is why I had to quit sailing!  (those lines are probably from the sun...they aren't on the jar)

And these...I've never seen before, but this is what I was buying the 'box of stuff' for, not the mugs.  Can you believe they were all in the same box?  I have a lot of milk glass and some day when we move upstairs I'd like to use it. 

This serving tray.  I just love these and I do use them.  I have two in my kitchen now.  And those marks are on the tray...but it can be painted.

I can always find a place to throw another blanket....

or quilt!

I think I paid $3.00 for this big pot and I used it right away.  I don't think they ever used it.

Forgot all about these!  These are the types of table cloths I use at Christmas.  And I usually set up extra tables for Christmas Eve so these will be perfect.

This bluebird was in the box of stuff too.  As was the lace tablecloths.

Love Mr. Rooster!

I miss "sailing".  I used to go every weekend with my friend.  She turned it into a business and I started building a house, and my Shug doesn't work the weekends as much as he used to.  I also miss the social part of it.  But as you can see, I buy too much stuff!  I love a good deal.  I am hoping to have some fun, flea market type days out here when we finish the house.  I'll sell some of the stuff I don't use when we get moved upstairs.

PS - I found a couple of good articles about Osage Orange trees.  This is the tree that grows the "hedgeapples" (or monkeyballs!!!) that I posted about in the previous post.  Read here and here for interesting info.  I'm going to try to get some seeds out of these "hedgeapples".  If I'm successful, I'll share.
