Lace Angel Wings


I made these from a tutorial from
She has an amazing blog, and is so creative and helpful!

 The first pair I did out of muslin,
as per Dawn's wonderful instructions....
But then thought....
maybe pre gathered lace would be faster..
(me being the impatient person I am). =)

And I love them...
I sprayed these with a mist of silver shimmer like I did the muslin wings.
(click to see larger)
I have to say....it is soooo good to be creating something again.

thanks for visiting.

PS Dawn also has free tutorials o her side bar. =)

J/J's Antiques Ranch Shop

 Taking you on a  quick tour of a new place we visited Tuesday.
My sweet fella has been carting me all around
since I hurt my neck and back and cannot pick things up yet.
Shopping is really not his thing,
so this is really sacrificial love for him.

This place is in Scio, a bit over an hour from our place in Eugene.
This is the cute 'gate' where you pull in.

 This was the ceiling in the 2nd room we went in to.
This room had games, books, and old toys...
 This was an adorable little garden area out back. little 3 walled covered area,
sweet little patio table and chairs... Pictures do not do it justice at all.

My sweet fella checking things out for me.

 cute cart I thought about getting.
somehow did not end up with it.
Our shop is so full right now, I do not know where I would put it anyway.
 more stuff.
I cannot even begin to tell you how much stuff this pace has.
Several outbuildings, a barn..
all crammed to the brim with 30 years of treasures....
Well displayed by the daughters of the owner.
It is a real family affair.
 lots of garden things....wonderful ideas..
rust too!!!!  =)
 The Barn....full and upstairs too.
They built this several years ago as all the buildings were full.
My eperience is, you fill whatever space you have,
 and they did.  =)
 more cuteness and outdoor treasures.
 This is the 'bathroom'.
Yes, an outhouse. A real outhouse!
Had not used one of these for years.....
but since we were there 3 1/2 hours I did get to see inside this one. =)
 one of the buildings.....it went on and on and on.
There were doors everywhere, one room lead to another..
and isle after isle of treasures.
 see all those buildings??? full!!!
This is another little garden section.
OK, now the details so you can go visit if you are in Oregon:

J/J's Antiques Ranch Shop

Address: 39800 Cole School Road Southeast, Scio, OR 97374
Phone: (503) 394-2209
open Monday-Saturday
(10-5??)

I will recommend that you wear a coat, hat, and gloves...
and comfortable old shoes, or boots and be prepared to dig!
And allow yourselves itme to see it all.
We were leisure about our looking...and there about 3 1/2 hours.
That did include a lovely chat with the owner Joyce, and her daughter Peggy.

blessings all and thanks for joining me on my tour.

 this is a roll of vintage lace I just got....
Not real vintage...from 70's or 80's.
Wonder how many yards are on on this roll..
it is about 12" across.
The piece behind it on the card is 1970's French lace.
and a non-white roll of rusty wire. =)
 old jars I just got. Cold Cream, Hand cream, and unlabeled rusty lid jar.
love it! =)
 LOVE this old clock.
No clock works in it, but oh so cool.
It is about 10" across.

I might have shown you this already, but here is my.....

Angel Wings



My friend Dawn, at The Feathered Nest,
has great tutorials. (lots of pics, easy to understand)
I got this one (angel wings) from her....
and made up my new wings right away.

I always do the first one just like the pattern,
then add my own touch after that.

I just could not wait to show you this first pair. =)
(lace ones to come)
I added spray glitter to them, but
not sure you can see it in the photo.

Thanks Dawn, for such great tutorials.

New Treasures

fun new finds for the store.
This wonderful green & rusty wheelbarrow.
this cart my sweet fella made...
I got the wheels, and he added the boards.
This is really cool.
I call them metal hat forms....
cute on a wall, or on a base for display.
How about a red tin?
It is 1 qt size, and the 'lid' slides back and forth.
Anyone know what it is for??

I just sold a little match holder with the same pattern,
then I got this.
Can anyone tell me what this is called so I can look it up??

and last for today, is this Bingo Shaker for Numbers...
and here are the cool square numbers.
I've never seen square before...
has anyone???

all for today

Vintage Metal Egg Shipping Crate

 Some jars I just got....
that Coca Cola 'straw holder' is short.
anyone know what it is for???
supposed to be old but does not look like it.
Other jars, very unique, galvanized lids and some have handles.
Coffee jars??  old I know. any help is appreciated.
 Just a bit of 'stuff' in the kitchen area..
and this is what I am really here to show you.....
 a circa 1920's egg shipping crate!!!
Is this amazing???
It was for shipping 2 dozen eggs.
This one is from Montana.
 inside the box is this paper..
Tells who it is shipped to,
how to pack it, how to unpack it, and other information and ads.
 and here are the little packing cups,
with the original packing papers!!
 Here are some of the aged words on the outside of the box.
"Fragile"
 2 Dozen Eggs,
and eggs on each end of box.

I am soooo excited about this find.
