Getting my yard ready for Early Spring


The above photos are last summer flowers that are seeding back


I love to use Old Vintage Items in my yard
We have been having some very warm days. Too early
for anything planting but getting the flowers beds ready to
plant in. Mostly I plant in flower pots. But do have a flower
bed where the plants come back from seeds every year.



















Bought this iron bed at a resale shop and going to use it in
yard or add to a flower bed. I have this star that I'm fixing to
paint like it like an America flag. I saw a Star painted like that
it was very pretty too. I do love red white and blue.

Below is just some yard junk I came across that I had
over at my other home. I think I maybe add some paint.
And add them to my other collections of vintage yard art.
I love old rusty items. I love all vintage rusty items to add
where I have flower pots and hang up on my outdoor buildings



















This spot in front of a storage building I had some very pretty
flowers ther last year and I am excited to see I have lots of
new plants already. They love the cold weather to start there
new plants. I have had this iron bed for years. Beside my Texas
painted like a Texas flag is where I am going to hang my star
it will be painted like an America flag.




































Last summer these small pots were filled with flowers
Some are still hanging in there even after lows in the 20's
See the small green plants on the ground. It's where the seeds
fell and now small plants are coming up. I am so happy to see
this as I love these old home stead type flowers. They are so
pretty with colors.

Where have I been far so long?










My where have I been for so long? I did moved over a year ago. This sure got me away from blogging! It was a long haul. I first stayed with my daughter for a few month. Then I brought me a new double wide 4 bedroom home. Then the moving started it was over 30 miles away. I felt like all my furniture and treasures were never going to get all moved. I do love my new home and I am close to my oldest daughter's home. I did sell my home and land that I had loved so dearly. Another chapter closed in life. But a new one opened :) God is Good!

I do have way too much items for my new home. I have moved many times and every time I move all my stuff seems to never fits in my new home. Thankful I'm just about to get my home in order. I would say it's about time!

Soon, I will be selling my overflow. I plan to put some in Esty shops. I have three shops one called Vintage Treasures another one is Vintage Pieces and Bits in this shop I will be adding my craft/supplies that I need to destash my stash! I open these shops a few years ago to sell but never got into it very good. Ha ha I was always buying instead of selling.

I also will be selling most of my vintage dolls and dolls clothes in Vintage Toys and Dolls I will update as I get the shops loaded for some very good sales. I do believe I will have something for about anyone who collects or love old dolls.

I always seem to have time check on friends and family on facebook. I am into Pinterest. I still enjoy all the updates from my blog friends.

I've added a Pinterest button to my side bar. It will take you to my page if you would like to follow me on Pinterest. I like going there and then clicking on where the pins come from and many are from blogs.

I going to add a few pictures to see if I can still do it here on my page. Well I did not do too good they went to the top.....OH well, I will leave them there. I will add some more later.

The flowers were so pretty this summer. Now that Fall is here they are about all gone. We had such a hot summer here in Texas. I had keep the watering these old time flowers. They do seed back every year. They will start blooming early in the spring and last all summer. I love the kind that will come back up without planting every year.

I do have three blogs one is done. Now two more to update check them out too.

Fall is in the air...Time for fishing!

I love Fall and Fall Colors.....
Fall is in the air and time to go a fishing...
These are some pictures around my home...
Fall colors are in this vintage Indian Chief
Maybe I will make a Fall Thanksgiving setting using Him
I could put this old Indian with some Pilgrims dollsAdd Image
These two big Bass Fish caught about 5 minutes apart in 1986
Mounted to last.... Couple of cute fat chickens too in Fall colors...



















Fishing Teddy Bear....with Fishing Pole and cute straw hat
A Small picture of my DH catching big catfish 40 years ago


















Fall is in the air thankgoodness as this summer was so HOT
Over 100 many days for over a month....
I don't think you could have caught any fish
This is a wreath called "Gone Fishing"...
Hmmmm give me an ideal...Let's go fishing....




















A shelf of little wooden fishing cuties...a decoupage catfish
on a board..I did long ago...It is now called a vintage fish...
A real fish bait hook is sitting the little wood boat...it's big
as the boat...It make a good fish story...A boat full or one as big
as the boat....Oh my a pink fish....what a dream for a girl!
and too with that pretty sage green we all like..what-a-catch!
Maybe it would be a good fish tale L@@k what I caught...


















Fish Stories Told Here....I like this big wood fish it is
over 36" long and over 12" high....sets on a high shelf
in my craft room....The little pig has his pole and net...
Maybe now that Fall weather is arriving and it's getting
cooler...Maybe now that it's cooler the fish will be a biting....
Gonna get my fishing pole and...have........
maybe a few fish stories to tell!...
