Chippy Rusty Countryside Finds!

There was only one priority today...

Visit the accountant and pick up the taxes.......ick!

On the WAY to pick up the aforementioned taxes, guess what we found?

An antique show in the country!

Fortuitous?

You betcha!!That geranium is ONE PLANT in a four inch pot!

I bought THREE! Think I might make up some wreaths with these old garden tools....



One of my favorite finds that I snagged this weekend was this simply adorable April Cornell tote bag.........yard sale.........2 bucks!

Chippy white painted boxes always seem to stick their handles out so I'll trip over them.

It works every.single.time.
Love making lights out of these old lanterns...
Remember this white metal bucket as you scroll down....
On second thought I think I might just keep all the garden tools and put um in an old woven gathering basket out on the porch.....
Can this metal basket be any cuter?
Seriously?
This swings out from under the drawer of the rusty medical cabinet
White metal bucket fits perfectly inside!!
Such a nice day.

The weather was beautiful~

The taxes are DONE~

Spent time with my sweetie~

Found me some junk~

Took the pics~

Shared with you!
