A thrifty re-do, and a few new treasures....

 I found this lovely graniteware bucket w/lid at my favorite thrift store
up the road......wait till you see the tea pot I found there too!

I love that all the flowers are in bloom right now I'll show
the garden next...
 Here is my yard sale owls I found a few weeks ago.....
They just needed a lift though.
 So I sprayed them this morning and I love the way they turned out....

 I found these paper lanterns at the same yard sale for a $1

 Love the colors....
 I also found this fun polkadot teapot.....
 I was so excited to win a giveaway over at
 The post cards were so beautiful....
 I loved the journals...
thank you again.
and here is a little update on our new addition
Mr. Jerry has won his big brother over, George loves him.....
he even shares his Mommy.

    What lovely finds, and your sweet dogs... Raja is in our bad books at the moment, as she is specialising in Breaking and Entering the hen run with intent to steal their food. Fortunately not interested in them, though...

    Thanks for your kind comment - you have such fantastic enamelware yourself, too!
