First Finds for Winter


I  found this gorgeous 100 yo plate on a long trip  to check out the charity shops in a country town on the Murray River. I love it...its circa 1900 transfer ware from Staffordshire










In my own town charity shop I spied this trio of vintage copper kitchen scoops for $1!









the garden is already very dreary with bare trees and gray days


foggy morning light

    I always think it is so funny to see so many colorful and unusual chickens and roosters! As a child I always thought they were all white! On Craigslist I see some very unusual ones!
