The lily of the vale, of flowers the queen,
Puts on the robe she neither sew’d nor spun.

Found the Cupboard

We finally found just the right cupboard to finish off the furniture in the kitchen. It is a dry sink and I love the drawer. It's is not old but fits in perfectly with what we already have. We found it at a flea market in Perth

 and I also found this tea pot.

 Today I made a new door decoration. Isn't this bird cute!

Old Jug

 When my parents sold their cottage many years ago I asked for a couple of things before it went on the market. One of them was this jug.

 

It depicts hunting scenes and has this cute fox on the handle.

 

These are the markings on the bottom. Does anyone recognize them?

 Right now it is in a small vignette on my dish cupboard.

Weekend Shopping 02

 

We stopped at a Church rummage sale and I found this little tin which matches the trays and tins I already had.

 

The wood dominoes were in the box lid only:

Weekend Shopping 01

 

We have been away for 4 days and we managed to hit a few thrift shops, Garage Sales and Dollar stores. Here is what I found for a total of $8.50 at our first stop at a Thrift store.

 I collect anything I can find with the "Blue Onion" pattern on it and lucked in with the 2 bowls and 2 plates. The bowls were made in the Philippines.

 

The plates were made in Brazil. There are many many varieties of this pattern.

The small bowl has no markings but is so pretty I couldn't resist it.

 

The angels are hard to photograph but they all have a place for a votive candle at the back. The 2 small ones are playing string instruments and the large one is 3 angels.

Shopping

Today I had a Dr.'s appointment so we had to go to "Town". (Our village has a pop. of 1300). So of course we had to go shopping. Here are my finds:

 

A painted zinc bucket .99 and a metal candle or plant stand 3.99 from Value Village

Three cute birds from Dollarama which I found out later all sing! (don't tell the grandchildren)

 

I spent $11.00 on bird houses and Easter eggs from Michaels and a necklace for my daughter-in-law Tammy (I have her stocking next Christmas)

I am a Church secretary so had to have the Church birdhouses

 

The best part: We had dinner at Red Lobster!
