Happy New Year

January 1, 2015

I am going to just add pictures to update with some of my collections. I hope and pray all have had a wonderful Christmas. Now the New Year it is time to start all over. So we need to all enjoy the goodness of what God has for us this year. God bless us all with peace and health! (((Hugs)))

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.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

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.

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

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...
