Super Cool Display Piece

Wanna see a super cool display piece?  This is it!!! I've had so many people over the years want to buy it and I couldn't stand to part with it.....until now. I can see it in on a porch or patio with birdhouses, wind chimes, Christmas lights all over it!!!! 

It was supposed to be sold on Saturday but the lady passed(long story but she's done this before-I just hate people like that!) so I'll be taking it into the antique store today!  I'm sure someone will fall in love with it and take it home!

Some Fun!

Here's some things I'm selling that have been repurposed! Wouldn't one of these fans look great on a patio or deck!  A place to leave a note! 

Hope you have a Great Day!

Great Ideas for decorating Patriotic

Here's more stuff I'm selling -great ideas for the upcoming holidays!

Waiting .......

I love what my friend Tete said a few days ago on her blog(Beyond the Garden Gate) about waiting on the Lord and his timing.  Something I have learned among many things in the last few months.  I have felt myself anxious and afraid only to lean on him and really believe that he has everything in his control with his timing.  I'm a person who has to try and figure and plan everything out myself-but I'm learning God that you do know best.  Learning to trust and believe in him and that as someone has told me-break us daily to remold us into what he wants us to be.  I'm just beginning that path and I am afraid, but I trust in the Lord that his plans are the best.  

Now for some fun stuff....I've been purging and sorting and selling...that's why I haven't been around to visit all of you...taking pictures of things that it's time sell off!

 Iron Chandelier for the wall or garden!

 Scrolly plant stands!

 Garden tote!

 Pedestals, gingerbread and birdhouses!

 Side of a bed-great for a trellis!

 Picket fence planter!

 Old chair-great to hang on the wall with a quilt on it and curvy iron porch pieces-great for a garden!

 Child's vintage Watering can and metal birdhouse!

And a fun candy colored chair with matching new pitcher and glasses!

That's some of what I've been up to-I'll share more in the upcoming weeks!

Life is for the Birds

I've been so busy selling lately and trying to move stuff-my life has been crazy!!!!!  I have so many items for sale(like the birds above)!!! I'm trying to really clear out the barn(s) and just de-clutter my life!  I've missed you all and hope that I will feel like I have time to return soon!

Time Keeps Marching On

I've missed all of you.  I seem to be so consumed with other things lately like selling

and buying.I have been going thru a difficult emotional time for several months. In reality it's probably been more like a year.  The feelings I have I've never experienced before and I am stuggling to figure them out.  At times I haven't been even able to see the light at the end of the tunnel even though I knew that God is at my side I have wanted to end it all.  I've always been a strong and in control person who knew what I wanted and would work at it and make it happen even if other's said I couldnt do it.  

I think the change has happened to my for two reasons-I've passed the dreaded age and seeing my grams in the nursing home and seeing all the other residences.  I know that we only have one chance in this life to make it what we want and I don't want to be sitting in a nursing home saying-why didnt I live my life.  Easier said then done.  

I've been working on clearing out some clutter in my life(both inside and out) and it's taking me longer than I had planned which frustrates me.  I know that God is in control and I do trust him, but I'm finding it hard to be patient with discovering the answers.  

I know there has to be more life and joy out there to experience and I really want that, but can't seem to put all the pieces together. 

I hope to try and visit you all soon.  My energy level has been low and with major changes at work and really trying to sell off extra barns of stuff-I can't seem to even find time for me.  I really appreciate you all and your prayers. God Bless and hope to visit you soon.

The Last Barn Sale

Well, I just can't do it anymore.  I've exhausted myself for the past week and put all I could into this sale.  I'm shutting the barn. At this point don't know when or if I'll open again.  We had a wonderful turnout yesterday and the weather was beautiful.  I took some pics to show some of the displays.  I tried to include all the holidays. I'm taking a rest for a while. Haven't felt much like blogging lately either.  I hate not visiting with all of you, but at this time, I feel like I just need a big break!
