Last month I showed you the condition of our old kitchen and the 4 layers of flooring that needed to be cut out so a new floor could be installed. The good news is, when my husband starting cutting out those 4 layers of flooring (over an inch thick), we discovered old wood plank boards. I LOVE old wood plank flooring, so I’m overjoyed! Of course, a lot of work is involved in getting these boards to be in decent {Read More}
Dairy Sign Shelf – Milkin’ It for All it’s Worth
Last year I created this sign our of wood salvaged from a broken dresser. The dresser cost me a whoppin’ $5 and I sold all the drawers that were in it, but I was left with the pretty piece of wood from the bottom of the dresser, which was perfect for creating a sign. It’s been sitting in a corner, unhung, ever since we moved into our new house last fall, because I didn’t want to hang any kitchen decor {Read More}
Industrial Candle Holder – It’s a Little Nutty
While visiting my family in New Mexico last month, I was taking photos around my sister’s home and found this HUGE old, rusty nut-looking thing in the field behind her house. I had no idea what I would do with it, but when you find a cool, old piece of rusty junk, you just can’t leave it in the dirt, can you? Well, I can’t anyway! While rooting around in my workshop the other day, I noticed that I had {Read More}

Antique Graphics Wednesday – School Primer & Flashcard Words
Today’s gorgeous images come from “The Cyr Readers – Book 2” & “The Beacon First Reader”.The Cyr Readers was a reading textbook for young school children and was published sometime in the early 1900’s. My book was falling apart, so I don’t have the page that might have included a date. The Beacon First Reader was published in 1913. Not only are the illustrations wonderful, but I love the phonetic spellings included to help the child read the words and {Read More}

A Timeless Piece of History – Old Street Clocks
You probably drive by them every day – clocks around the city. Most of the large exterior clocks we see these days are digital ones that show both the time and temperature, but the real treasures are the antique clocks that have been maintained, repaired or restored for years. A few weeks ago, while waiting for my daughter at the dentist office, I paid closer attention to the post clock outside the building. I pass by it every time I {Read More}
Sonday – Angels Watching Over Me
The good Lord and his angels were watching over me yesterday. My middle son sells specialty cheese at a farmer’s market and I needed to use my husband’s big pickup yesterday so my son could go to the warehouse and load it up with all his coolers full of cheese and tables, etc. to set up at the market. After I dropped him off at the market and was going through town to head back home, all of a sudden {Read More}
