Fun Finds...
Thursday, July 5, 2012
Hope you all had a wonderful Fourth of July holiday! Like many areas of the country, it was very hot here, and I spent most of the day indoors! Last weekend, however, much of the family gathered at the lake. We found a fun estate sale, and thought I'd share some of my goodies with you. I love the graphic look of these little brass stencils! Another graphic piece was this sterling spoon- engraved, Beach, No. Dak. Such a charming old souvenir!
The vintage patina on this bell called to me...
as did this vintage sprinkler and hose nozzles...
Some vintage locks were fun finds, too!
For a change of pace...look at these sweet baby booties...
and little shoes...
I am joining a brand new link party- Hot Fun In The Summertime !
I'm also partying with Debra's Vintage Inspiration Friday over at Common Ground...
and Honey's
Potpourri Friday at 2805
And... a big THANK YOU to Debra and Honey for featuring my Glimpses From The Sunporch post this week!
Until next time...hope you have a great
(and cooler) weekend!

Ya wouldn't usually think of "beach" and North Dakota in the same breath; that's great! Fun finds all around.

You find the best things! The bell, however, brings back bad memories of a place I worked where customers rang the bell (more than was necessary) for service. :@
