Getting my yard ready for Early Spring

2012-01-30T18:51:00.000-08:00

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.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Where have I been far so long?

2011-11-15T13:51:00.000-08:00

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!

2009-09-21T13:59:00.000-07:00

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 dolls
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!...

The LORD Is My Shepherd

2009-09-05T13:41:00.000-07:00

A Dear Friend sent this sweet picture frame
to me as a sweet gift...isn't it so pretty with
all the Lace, Buttons, and Bows...
and Lovey Pearl Beads
It was a surprise package....
and it made MY DAY!
Thank you dear friend!
I added the bottom pictures of some Rest!
I have been doing that all summer...and
I love to read the Bible always love to
read The Twenty Third Psalms
This Vintage picture that I added to my gift
Reminds me of The LORD Is My Shepherd
and The Lord gives me my needs and rest!
Thank you sweet Jesus!
You are so Wonderful to all of us............

23 Psalms:

1. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3. He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

4. Yea, though I walk through
the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5. Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.

6. Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of
the Lord for ever.

SOME OF My COW COLLECTION..and more....

2009-04-23T07:07:00.000-07:00

I've collected a few cows...I like all kinds of farm animals..

I think I have every kind of farm animals...

Cows, horses, chickens, pigs, sheep, ducks,

and turkeys just to name a few....

Some are toys and some are whimsey but all to me

are just plain cute...isn't that what collecting all about...

Having fun with gathering so much fun shopping..

Looking for that item that will go with your collections...

Once I start collecting I usually have to say...Now Stop That!

I do have way too much stuff...Down on the Farm...

I chose my Cows today....to show in a few pictures

That I have around in my home...I do have cows that

come to the fence across the Farm to Market Road...

and then there are Black Cows that come up to my back fence

gate...They are not mine, they belong to my neighbors...

I let them come in to eat to help me mow my Back 40........

there is a lot of mooing going on around my home place...

Now that the mother cows are calling the babies calves...

And then Mr Bull has too put lots of his bellowing in....and

then the Bull across the road has to bellow back a few times...

At night when I sit on my porch in my rocker

Those bulls can make your hair stand up...

They do make lots of different sounds bellowing

at one another...Who the best Bull on the block?...

Sometimes they get into a big fight to see who best...

I too love to watch the calves running and playing.....

It reminds of the times that I had my own cows....

But now I have only small animals...dogs and cats...

These cows I can look at and enjoy and don't have to feed....

The two pictures of the cows with all the toy cows and

pigs was a Mama Cow we had in the Late 1940's

and that a picture of her calf...This Mama cow gave us our

milk and my mother made our butter from the cream...

to put on table....Lots of times I helped her turn the

handle to make the butter....and sometimes

she would save cream to make whipping cream for

the fresh Strawberry that my dad grew in the garden

and OH soooooooo....yummy..........and good for you...

I remember so well my daddy milking that cow..

also the mama cat bringing her kittens to get my

daddy to give them a little milk too...My dad

always shared a little of that sweet milk........

Times have sure change and very few people have

a milk cow at the home anymore...back then you didn't

have to live in the country to have a cow...It was

kept in most backyards along with the chickens...

For fresh eggs...my dad kept our family well fed

with a wonderful garden and lots good fruits ...

That picture of that Big old pig or hog...

I got at an Antique shop...I know that it was one big pig..

Enjoy my Cow Collection....at my home...

I have lots more and I think maybe I put a picture in twice..

Just like an old great-granny.....can't see too good....

Thanks for stopping to see me...Down on the Farm...

None are ever the same...as they change so fast..
Just beautiful! I'm always touched by the
sunsets....I call it touched by the Master's Hand..

There is a High Ridge where I live and I want to take pictures
of the sunsets there too...The fifth picture is taken

driving to that High Ridge I wanted to get the pictures

of that sunset but it was gone when I got there...

Wanting to reach and touch them again....

This Creek is so full of rocks and when it rains

it sounds like a water fall...It is right beside my Home

It not to deep here but in the back of my land it looks

like it is 20 feet or more deep and carriers lots of water...

It's very pretty and it has lots of wild animal tracks

It is was one of the last places that Indians were seen

I don't live very for from an OLD FORT

So there are lots of stories told about this creek...

It is still as untame as it was back in the middle 1800's...

It is known as Little Rocky Creek

I do like this creek and it so neat to have it on my land

In the winter time is only time I will walk it..

Flag Day! United States of America June 14

2008-06-14T10:53:00.000-07:00

US Flag I fly

at my Home

Flag Day June 14

In 1885, BJ Cigrand, a schoolteacher, arranged for the pupils in the Fredonia, Wisconsin Public School, District 6, to observe June 14 (the 108th anniversary of the official adoption of The Stars and Stripes) as 'Flag Birthday'. Over the following years, Cigrand continued to enthusiastically advocate the observance of June 14 as 'Flag Birthday', or 'Flag Day'.

Proclamation of President Woodrow Wilson on May 30th, 1916. While Flag Day was celebrated in various communities for years after Wilson's proclamation, it was not until August 3rd, 1949, that President Truman signed an Act of Congress designating June 14th of each year as National Flag Day.

spot there is a old antique pink running rosebush

I will try to take pictures of it when it blooms

No one lives on this road anymore but in the

Late 18oo's and Early 190o's there was lots of

Families that farmed the Land

I do love the stories of past history of days gone by

The wild flowers have just started to bloom

When they get in full bloom it make me think of a wedding

The bluebonnets on this ranch road were so pretty

Enjoy more wild flowers on my other blog

Spring Is Arriving and My Beautiful Sunsets

2008-03-27T13:11:00.000-07:00

These are coming up from left over blubs

they are so pretty popping up in the grasses

Spring is Here!

My mother called these the white Flags of Spring

The beginning of the Texas Bluebonnets

This is just a little pink flower all over my yard

They have such a sweet smell and they are so cute

The acorns covered my yard from last fall

I have lots of Tall Oaks

The little wild Violets grow all over my homeplace

More of the blubs so sweet I was told they were

Planted here 30 years I think the moles move them arround

Just a sweet little flower with other green grasses and acorns

I do love driving on the Texas ranch roads you can always

Tell where a old Homestead was by the white flags

It to me is part of Texas History of where the

Homestead or The Old Farms were at

More little cuties and green clover

The US Flags Standing Tall

In the setting of the Sun

I love to take these pictures

But you have to catch them fast

Breath taking to me my sunsets

On Easter Morning I was sitting in my chair

I look out the window and to my surprise

A Heart Tree

I called it a sign of love

I sit in this same spot every morning

and had not notice it before so it was so special to me

New growth red and greens so pretty

My lovely Granddaughters

Taken on Easter March 23, 2008

they are sisters

Redbud Trees grow wild in my woods

and along my rocky creek

sign of Spring is here

Thanks for visiting I plan to add more pictures of wild flowers

we have so many kinds on my Heart of Texas ranch roads

ENJOY!

Sunrise and Sunsets This is the day that the Lord has made!

2008-02-15T14:40:00.000-08:00

The Sunrise

The beautiful Sunrise

Beginning of the sunrise

Full Sunrise a Beautiful Day

One cold sunrise a tiny bit of snow

The early morning snow no sun yet

The wind is blowing the flag so peaceful

Cold for Easter Sunday Morning 2007

The tree are full of leaves and

the snow weighted the limbs down

The Sunset

The setting of the sun

I love this circle on this picture

Who can explain it?

It is getting closer to me what is it?

I love to call the circle my night Angel

The ending of the day

The flag standing still

The beauty of the clouds

as the sun goes down

The flag is so still with this setting

This is one that I like the best

The Beauty of the hand of God

Painted Sunsets and Sunrise in my heart

The beauty of a sunrise and sunset has always been so peaceful to me. I love the sunsets more than ever. They brings great joy to me to see all the colors we will never be able to paint.

My home faces the beautiful sunsets. I have a backroom that I call my sunroom that faces the sunrise. Lots of windows to bring in the lovely mornings. I love to take pictures of the sunsets. They change so fast that I have to hurry to get what I call a moment in time, to the Glory of God. His painting are forever painted in my heart. I have more pictures just have to find them in all my 100's of pictures...............enjoy the pictures!

Vintage Dolls

2008-02-08T16:33:00.000-08:00

This Lovey Doll is

Pretty in Aqua and Pink

Cute cutting eyes

1940's

My love for the old

Vintage Dolls

These are just a few of the dolls that I collect

The doll in the aqua dress is Kissy

The doll in the peachy dress is Sweet Sue

They are not in perfect condition

but they are perfect for me

These are those sweet Dime Store Dolls

form the 1940-50's
They always wore the long pretty growns

They were what I would loved to

play with as a young girl

I do love this Bride Doll she is so sweet

The other doll has a crochet dress and purse.

It reminds me of

My sweet mother she crochet and dressed many dolls

Some she would make for Birthday Gifts for me to give

Believe me I was ask to all the girl partys

This was in the late 1940's and early 1950's

This a daybed is in my sewing and craft room

I do love the baby dolls too!

These are from the 60's into the 80's

Aren't they cute in the baby dresses and

their sweet little bonnets

The older doll that is to the far left

Dressed is pink and black lace is a ballerina

and she still has her shoes

I imagine when she was new she was such pretty doll

Looks like she telling the other dolls

when you grown up you can dance

I will always like dolls and now I like just looking at them

Reminising into the past down memory lane

Look at the Old Hats

Maybe they are Easter Hats

Vintage Art is in!

2008-01-23T21:00:00.000-08:00

What can I say I am now a blogger...I think that I have wanted to start this Journey of blogging a long time...

Vintage Art to me is Montage Memories of Altered Collectibles into Art... with Vintage Photos....where the history of people or places are made new...I like the art of recycling something that is vintage and making it into art...I just love the collages and altered art with all kind of mixed media.... I too love the assemblages......Mix...Mix....alter and alter... is so much fun....Using all kinds of Ephemera...Magazine images... And other types of paper collections....Using stamping inks...crafts inks....and acrylic paints.....Anything goes when working with vintage items....I love the old vintage linens and vintage fabrics such as feedsacks.....The love of vintage quilts....and old chenille bedspreads....Adding also into it the old and beautiful vintage lace, buttons, and ribbons... and lots of vintage trinkets...that will just about finish my Vintage Art pieces...Except I might need a old vintage photo to complete the art....This style of Art is one's own imagination...and...what I start to explore with in blending....and mixing creative items together...for my Vintage Art.....
