When I was a young girl, I would go with her and my two sisters. We'd go to a town about an hour from our home and make it a spring fling girls day out. It was so much fun to do this with her again and this time including my daughters. Here are a few of my finds from our morning of shopping.
The white teapot will work great
with my collection of white dishes.
I love using baskets for storing items and adding texture while decorating.
The Taste of Home recipe book will be great for those busy days when you want to just throw something in the slow cooker and have a meal ready by dinner time.

We have a lot in common; when my mom comes to visit we hit all the garage sales (and the Goodwill), AND I am a basket fanatic! Looking forward to checking your blog out some more.

Just stopping by from House of Grace's party! You found a lot of great items! It is hard to find good used baskets. These look they they were hardly used! You have a new follower!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun blog...oh the years of parsonage living! Thanks for following me...I'm gonna follow you now!
ReplyDeleteI lived in parsonages all across the eastern/midwestern half of the country and into New England... we may have to share notes sometime. I loved your post about garage sales with your Mom. When my Mom and Dad would come to visit we would visit antique shops and other quaint country places together. We would look for old books by whichever author I was collecting at the time, and old-fashioned hats, antique kitchen gadgets, and just have fun together exploring new places. Since we moved around frequently, there were always new places to check out. I had a white teapot just like yours at one time. I also collect teapots! Thanks for sharing your special finds. It brought back happy memories for me. My mother is with the Lord now, and my Dad will soon be 92...but we have many such memories. Check out my blog for a few such adventures... http://pamelasopenwindow.blogspot.com
