I have posted this wheelbarrow before but it is ever evolving. I took out some plants and added some junk. The base was part of a column that broke off and the red glass is the base off an old coal...

I like the way you twisted the ties. How did you attach? Never seen it done this way before.

Re: VINTAGE GLAM

I love this. I have an old calendar with Audrey's pictures. I have one framed in my dressing room. I have recently started looking for vintage handbags and didn't know why. Now I know. Fellow junkers must have a special brain wave or something.

Re: Suzy V Dressed for Spring

Junque. I can't part with her but she has a twin at Arnold's Furniture & Collectibles, 118 S Main St, Ripley, MS 38663 (662) 837-6004. You don't know how funny it would be for him to be contacted about buying it. They were shoved down under a display. I had to literally dig them out.

Beautiful. I love toile as you can see in my "Heart of Toile." You motivate me to try something big.

Re: Have Suitcases; Will Travel

I thought I had a lot of suitcases. You have me beat. I'm jealous. And not only stylish but wonderful for storage. I have one with a Harlem Globetrotter sticker on it. The stories they could tell.

I absolutely love your style. I have a few 6 pane windows and you just inspired me to "get funky with it".

I actually have an apron that belonged to my grandmother that is made very similar to yours. I am going to look at it closer and see if it is made from a sack. I'm pretty sure it may be. It is also an off white color with red trim. Love all your items.

Re: Window

I love your window. I have 5 old 6 pane windows that I picked up last year at a garage sale for $5. Is the glass still in the window?

Also good for under bed storage. But this one is too pretty to hide under the bed. Love it.

Re: Door Headboard for the Guest Room

Love the headboard. My headboard is also a door. Love the height of yours. I also save the toiletries, especially the good stuff, and also have them available in guest bath. Your containers are good.
