Welcome

Welcome to our old farmhouse. Over the past year I have learned so much history of this house and the people who lived here. Ninety six years of love, loss, hopes and dreams. Preservation continues and there is always a repair to be done. We are trying to be purest in our preservation as much as we possibly can. I hope you follow along and each week I will try to give you a little history of the house as well as the first owners of the house. I've been lucky enough to find a journal from a Granddaughter who talks about the house as well as her Grandparents. So come follow along and learn about this old house as well as the occupants, old and new.

Before I Packed It Away

 Yes, as I packed things last week, I just couldn't
resist doing a little vignette. Here is another of
my great ceramic pots I found last summer at a
yard sale! I suppose this could be used for chili,
beans, soup, I just loved the little bowls that
attach to the side!
 Mr. Roo is great for holding bread. A couple of
S & P from the Dollar Store, last year.
  Nothing to elaborate or creative, and I guess a little
silly when your packing to move. But...
I couldn't resist.


Thanks for visiting,
 Join Marty at
for Table Top Tuesday.
See you there.

My New Best Friends

 Meet my new best friends!
They are wonderful!
These came from Dollar General, since I have to travel
thirty five miles to get the real space bags, thought I would
give these a try!
Sooo... from this to.....
 
 This, two large afghans and a lap quilt! 
 A linen closet and a trunk!
Not bad!
See you for Table Top Tuesday!

No Cost Changes

As you know we have had our house on the market
for the last eight months. But we all need a little change
in our lives even when we are selling, so to add a
little spice to the kitchen and the office area I
removed a couple of cabinet doors. Not knowing if
it was a detail that anyone would like, I carefully
explained that each door was wrapped and stored
away and could be put back into place very easily.
The change was a huge success, everyone loved it said
it really broke up all the wood. This kitchen has thirty two
cabinets, allot of wood! 
 One of the cabinets in the office area of the kitchen.
Great storage for cookbooks!

 Small cabinet over my stove.



If for any reason we end up staying here, I think a
little paint inside would be a plus. What do you think?
But for now we have a closing date of October 11th.
I hope you will join me for a new journey, we will be in
a rental for a few months, until we decide were we want
to buy. It's been really hard to house hunt living in two
different states!
So for now join me at
for Table Top Tuesday.
Sandy
