Eat Your Heart Out, PB.

Pottery Barn has had these in their "Harvest" decor section of their catalog which are authentic "found" dough bowls. I wonder how a Pottery Barn exec could just happen to "find" thousands of these and then sell them for $150.00+ a piece. I'm just saying, who happens upon that many dough bowls? Aren't they pretty?


Then these pretty vintage wine jugs with the little story on PB's website tells about a wine entrepenuer invested a lot of his money and time in picking out specific bottles for his company. He had a warehouse full apparently. These go for $100.00+.

I poked my head in the attic access to the left the other day after eyeing a few things and decided to crawl in and see exactly what was in there. *side note: I painted the loft. You like? I love oops paint from Home Depot. 5 dolla.

Anyway, I weasled my way into the little hole on the left and stepped on the roof rafters to look closely at some things that the light of my flashlight had landed upon.

Found some trinkets in a wooden box including an old New Testament, an ancient pair of Keds, an old flashlight and one old baseball cleat.

I also found an old galvanized metal ice cream maker.

But my most favorite finds of all were....

An old whiskey bottle and dough bowl! (I'm huffing on my nails right now and brushing them across my left shoulder. Have no idea what I'm talking about? Do exactly what I just wrote and then you'll see. :)) Technically, if I were going to spend $250.00 on those pretty PB items (which I wasn't), I'd be $250.00 richer right now. I can't wait to display these on my kitchen table!

Surprise Package!

The other day I had three boxes come in the mail filled with goodies from my friend Sara! She lives up in Ohio and had some goodies that she didn't need anymore and thought of me.

Look at all my treasure! Well, this is just 2 of the boxes and my Chick-Fil-A sweet tea that just finishes the country, southern tone of it all.

Aren't these scales SA-weet? Can you say bookends? Thank you Sara!!
