Scavenger Hunt List #1


The scavenger hunt items were due in today. I am having so much fun doing this! My friends and I always loved doing scavenger hunts when we were young but i thought those days were over. But thanks to Gable House Musings I was so, so, so wrong!
Here is the pics of my four items. 


First it is an old jar filled with garden seeds.


This is a closeup of the jars. Some my packets have already been open to start in pots before planting in the garden. I love these old jars but I do not have lids so I am always on the lookout for them.



This is my pastry roller. It is not prim but I use it all the time for my salt dough projects and for my pie crust.



close up of the pastry roller.



This is my homespun pillow case. I use this on my ten foot long sofa. Needless to say it is used often!


Here are my faceless dolls. The one doll had a stitched face on her but I took the stitches out because I liked it much better.

If you get real close you can still see where the stitches were on the one doll. We keep her in a dark corner so we don't see that. I am thinking about making her a bonnet.


Here are all my items all together in my scavenger spot!


I just saw an update that the pastry roller has to leave an impression. So here is my old rusty crimper. I don't use this on my real pies but it makes great markings on salt dough ornies!

Here it is in the scavenger spot, kind of hard to see.


The List

Old Jar of Garden seeds


Faceless Rag/Cloth Doll

Homespun Pillow Case – (adult bed size or larger)

Pastry Roller

Doll Bed

A piece of old Ironstone Pottery/Dishware

I can not wait to get started on the next list!!!! Have fun hunting.

The Brenda Photo Challange "Red"



I love her challanges! And if you know me then you also know that I love to take pictures. So it gets me thinking when I have a theme to go with. The theme for my photo club this month is also red so this one really had me going. I only get to pick one photo for the club and I have not decided what picture I want to use yet. But for this challange I can post all I want so here it goes...

who loves barns




and what goes better with barns than wagons



Ok, so the last one isn't really red but look how pretty!

Well how about some tractors and fire trucks..




and we have flowers....




and some other red I found around...





and how about a rooster to top it off!

Enjoy your day!

Photo Friday

CROCKS


The girls of The Primitive Pantry have started a Photo Friday theme. Today's theme is crocks! We all have them, we all love them so lets show them off! I have several but I am just going to share my favorite. I got it a little hole in the wall auction house for $15.00!  It is Blue ribbon Pottery Brand from Macomb, IL and I have no idea what it is worth. I will keep it for ever so my husband says it isn't worth anything if we aint going to sell it. They just don't understand sometimes, lol. And my kids did use it to hold toy guns but right now it has been moved and holds shoes! Go figure......

The Brenda Photo Challenge


I just love doing the Brenda Photo Challenge! This months theme was frozen. And lets face it we all have seen a little of that this winter. And some of you are still getting it or expecting more. Some of us only saw a little and even though it is mostly a pain in the bottom, it is quite beautiful!

It can show up on almost anything and has the oddest affects.

But even the slightest touch can give a sleeping plant a luxurious glow.


And what goes better with ice than snow?





 So the best we can do is take advantage of it. Not only by beautiful pictures but with winter fun!


So happy winter everyone! And remember to try to find beauty in everything you do.
