Yard sales

I love yard sales.  I like the hunt, the finds and nearly everything about themselves.  Thought I’d share some of my recent finds.

Such fun!

Pillows!!!

Made pillows from shirts.  Fun!!!

Collections - depression glass.

Today’s collection focuses on DEPRESSION GLASS!!!!     When depression glass was introduced it was mostly a giveaway item.  It was to lure people to movies and other social gatherings.    I acquired most of mine in the 70s when it could be acquired very cheaply.   

Depression glass also comes in other colors.   Pink and clear are the most common after green.  

Collections—Elephants

Today’s collection focuses on ELEPHANTS!!!!   I love elephants!

This collection started about 52 years ago. When Ron and I were married,He had 2 elephants and I had 1; and after displaying them on our coffee table I got lots of elephants for Christmas along without statements like “I saw your collection!”   It was born.  

Most of my elephants!

Update!!!   The more I looked at this, the More I knew It needed MORE pictures.

MUCH COZIER!!!!



In 2010 I did my first name day room.  Since then I had three done and had two

 to go.  Done are the living room, kitchen and dining room.  Just finished was the bedroom.  I have one more to go.  At this stage, I don’t have a clue what it will be.
