Loving Ironstone

I have always love old white ironstone and think I have room for one more thing to collect!  The lily of the valley pitcher is probably going to stay in my house, but I Elained up some other things for the shop,

Shop til You Drop Indeed

We just headed out the door Saturday with no place in particular to go, and ended up in Illinois and went a bit mad buying antiques--the shops must have just stocked up and they had the BEST primitives.  Here are a few to list:

never worn baby stockings, $38

old ivory soaps, $10 each, washtub and wringer $75

pear board $45, round $58, pantry box $75, transfer bowl $25, broom $24, bottle $15

old bobbins $28 for all, bowl $38

Out with the Old, in with the New Old

It is 45 degrees in Iowa today, and I am taking new photos of all my lovely primitives that should have sold a long time ago, hoping the fresh new look gets some ebay folks to take a peek at least.  My favorite selections of course got done with the blues.

Primitive Time

Just a few more primitives on the way to ebay.  I've been cleaning and trying to organize the craft room now that I actually have one (in the old house, I was either working in the dining room or sitting in a corner of the furnace room, it was sad).  I got a bakers rack moved into the closet and filled it with all my paints, now I have to move my other bakers rack which is filled with projects and move my screened pie safe in--I have this huge house and the tiny craft room is the only place it fits!

A Few New Things for the Shop

I just added lots of new items in my ebay store, an eclectic mix to be sure!

Water is Good

The kitchen remodel is moving along--the most miraculous development being having a working sink again.  There are still no cupboards and the floor is plywood and the walls are still being repaired, but we have running water!  I never thought I would be so happy to be able to wash dishes properly again.  The "new" sink is from the 1930s, it looks better now than most new sinks, I really love it.  The new faucets certainly prettied it up.  It had an extra hole, which just had a metal cover, so we thought, "why not 2 spigots?"  The one on the right is just for washing vegetables and filling pots, as it is not hooked into the water softener.

So, let's look at before--sad stainless steel sink.

Next, out to the porch where the big old sink sat for a couple months, all grungy and hopeless looking.

And finally, a clean and fully operational sink!
