Just posted some new pictures. That THING I'm crocheting is getting bigger.
Also found out those very old tins I got the other day are Russian tea tins. Don't know exactly how old. I found a good place for them. I will take a picture of where I put them in a day or so.Would be interesting to know where they have been living over the years.
Very cool today, feels like Autumn. The sun coming into the house even has a different look to it.
Well anyway, I posted a few new pictures. Going to go wach Antique road show now.
Jeannie see how many spoons I have got since you sent me one???

Oh Cool! thanks Karin...I didn't know I could do that either! I could actually see the napkin ring on the left with the engraved scroll work! COOL! How did you know that was her computer room? I thought it was her living room! Nancy-Jo I love your tablecloth! Do you have a pattern for that? What size yarn/thread and crochet hook do you use? I would love to make one like that and I LOVE your colors....who made the white one underneath? And LOVE that clock too.
I have wooden sppons that I have gotten over the years and I just stick them in with my other tools in a big crock but I think I will put them in a separate crock so I can see them better....another great decorating tip from our one and only Nancy Jo!
Did you embroider those pillows? They're beautiful! And you have the Mitford Cookbook! I am re-reading the books although I had almost all of them..... I loaned them all to a "friend"? and even though I have repeatedly asked her it doesn't look like I am getting them back but I never had the cookbook. So, I guess I will be re-stocking my Mitford collection from the beginning again! I'll wait until I move though....the realtor came yesterday...I have my work cut out for me!
I can't wait to get to my new/old place and settle in for life...then I will for sure do a blog and/or post pics of the "journey". Meanwhile I will live vicariously through your purchases and great finds!

Nancy Jo, I forgot about the part where I can blow up your pictures, I love the pillows (and the pineapple quilt) on your sofa in the computer room. You must have sewn those, they are just beautiful. I have a little Russain tea tin my mother gave me yeaars ago, and it still has tea in it.. If I ever get to some of the boxes in my barn, I know I'll be finding all sorts of things I have totally forgotten about. That is always fun.

Nice work! I just crocheted a chicken comb for a pincushion I am making and a tiny flower to sew on it somewhere, so I am very impressed with your tablecloth.
And your spoons are lovely , I have a thing for wooden spoons also. So nice to look at all your stuff.
sometime soon, between naps, I'm going to post a picture of some of the loot I got a few weeks ago, if I can remember what did with it.

Your 'whatnot' is sure getting larger. I say a small tablecloth. How did you find out the tins were Russian? It does seem Fallish here too. It is chillier in the evenings and gets dark earlier. That's what I don't like. I like it staying light until 10. But oh well. MB

Nancy Jo - I am impressed that you have proceeded to acquire more spoons, and equally happy that you kept the ones I sent to you so long ago!!!!! I love them all! Go girl. I only wish we were seeing signs of autumn as you are.
My favorite down to earth things are wooden spoons, earthenware bowls, quilts, baskets, aprons, and sweet friends like you.
