The countryside here in the middle of New York state is full of rolling hills and farmland....see the wind turbines on the hillside in the distance?
Carole could not resist taking pictures whenever we stopped....
Queen Anne's Lace....a favorite summer wildflower...
Deanna fell in love with this beautiful old Victorian house and wanted to rescue it...
She does that and she's really good at it!
You should see the beautiful Victorian home she lives in now!!
Ok, here are a few random pictures of some of the small things I brought home with me.....an old shabby sampler...a child's pair of vintage and oh so dear blue and white stripe socks...
We found 12 of these old metal drawer bins and 6 old wire baskets at the same booth....Paula and I divided them up between us.....the bins can hook onto a rim or ledge...I will add the wire baskets to the gym locker baskets I already have ....great for storage....
I am waiting for Paula to come up with the perfect use for the old metal drawer bins...What would you do with them? Would you repaint them or leave them rusty and shabby?
Some old leather baby shoes, a brown silk change purse and a dolly...
Funky chippy white hearts cut from old ceiling tiles...
Odds and ends to be used in assemblages...
I can't ever seem to pass up on these old stamp sets...
A shoebox full of vintage Christmas ornaments and a child's pair of old red wool mended mittens..
And last, but not least.....sweet Carole gifted me with these two tins with my favorite number 52!
Thanks girls for a great weekend! It's time to get busy and create and decorate!
And thanks friends for coming along with us and all your kind comments!

Wonderful photo's and such cool finds! The wind turbines look like they could images of the Cohocton - Naples area. They're amazing.
ReplyDeleteI loved it all, the rolling hills, the queen annes lace and all your treasures, the tin hearts, the wire baskets, the keys and all the rest. We have those big wind turbines in our area too, along the Columbia River Gorge.
ReplyDeletetu me donnes la nostalgie de cet état de New york où je me suis bien balader il y a quelques années.

Ah there is even more! What a great way to start the day! I love it all, again. That Victorian house is tdf! Can you show us your friends home one day, inside and out please? Did you succeed shopping for the prize winner? An old Chinese saying says that a lunatic can ask more questions than a 1000 wise guys can answer, so I think it is time for me to stop asking. Have a great day!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful post! I am very familiar with upstate NY. One of my favorite things is the Queen Anne's Lace and the beautiful victorians.
ReplyDeletedrooling...boy did you ever get some great junk!! Janna
ReplyDeleteYour little treasures speak so much of past lives. Somehow the smaller things are more evocative than grand ones, I think.

Oh what a gorgeous, romantic place! I LOVE that Victorian home also and would love to have it :) There is nothing more beautiful than the countryside. We just got back from Amish country Ohio ~ truly breathtaking! Your finds are amazing! I adore the doll!

Oooh my goodness me ... how I love the victorian era. Just wish I had been born about 150 years earlier ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe ceiling hearts are just fab as is the shabby looking sampler.
Great finds Laura!!!
Greetzzzzz, Miranda
Oh my, my head is in a blur, I feel so overly visualie stimulated that I think that I may pass out. Could I live any further away? I need to get where ever you were and shop. Really it must happen. What was that?
ReplyDeleteYou find the most absolutely gorgeous treasures. I love each and every one of them. Stan
ReplyDeleteWow You really do find cool and beautiful stuff! I´m showing Your blog to my husband...he thinks I´m a fleamarket shopaholic...but he hasn´t seen all of your trasures!! ;) Would be nice to see some of You creations.

ReplyDeleteAll these awesome photos from Bouckville left me out of breath. I just checked on the map and I was only 1 hour away from Bouckville that weekend!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDo they do this antique fair every year? Please tell me YES!
I'd love to rescue the home too!!! It would be so charming to restore!!!!
