Seems like I started collecting antiques & sentimental keepsakes when I was 18. My furniture seems to always lean toward oak, and I have all my paternal grandmotherSeems like I started collecting antiques & sentimental keepsakes when I was 18. My furniture seems to always lean toward oak, and I have all my paternal grandmothers oak and I have refinished it all myself. I have spent many hours stripping, sanding, and getting it to perfection. I have drug furniture thrown away out of gulleys, and old houses with the doors left wide open. An antique bentwood rocker that was painted at least 5 times. Not sure why they would paint oak ! Pictures strawn all over the floor that I returned to the relatives. I collect old bottles, blue cobalt glass, jewelry, old kitchen utensils, dishes, carnival glass, any type glass that strikes my fancy. I love God, gospel music, arts & crafts, antiques, animals, and nature. (Read more)

  1. "If I fall I won't make all that money promised to me" !
  2. Love the photos !!! I imagine the wife had packed their lunch, and spread out a quilt or blanket to eat on. They could not call for help back then.
  3. Thanks Pickergirl, I think you're right about the butter dish. Granny was 103 when she passed away in 2005.
  4. Thanks Peavie, it's inherited from someone, but I can't remember which someone. The older I get and receiving relative glassware and jewelry I am forgetting who gave me what.
  5. Thanks Freiheit ! I know you are right because this came from my mother in laws family who must have been living in Germany at some point. I have many items given to me from Germany. It is really m...
  6. Wow, Wayne, quite a carnival ware collection !! Beautiful !
  7. Some of the glassware on the buffet is antique however.
  8. Thank you for the compliments on the buffet. Oh, that rooster is new from Hobby Lobby. Not an antique, something I love!
  9. Beautiful piano ! If they would only combine new piano's with intricate carving design like they used to that would be good & quality wood !
  10. Theses are so beautiful, love the colors !
  11. Thanks Ren !
  12. I'm not sure, but it reminds me of an iron log holder that goes in a fireplace or stove. Maybe she made a table from one because it's so ornamental. It's low is the reason I think this also.
  13. Thanks everyone for loving this old platter !
  14. Thanks for loving my tins Blunderbuss and Mustangtony !
  15. I have one like this that still works perfectly. I don't use it but it's here.
  16. So BEAUTIFUL ! Walnut is very strong for sure!
  17. Thank you, thank you Renoir !
  18. Thank you Renoir! I saw a red one I really liked on Tall Cakes link.
  19. Pretty!! I have some of my mother in laws hanging in my dining room similar.
  20. What a bargain from Turkey! Beautiful!
  21. Oooh!! These are all really beautiful ! I can see a Genie popping out of one of those. There could be something really special in the 3rd one you can't open...:)
  22. Thank you Epson ! I started to say it was frosty !
  23. Thanks TallCakes once again for identifying my pieces ! From what you shared to me, it's pretty old.
  24. Those medals look very special, and as old as they are you are very fortunate to still have them. Very nice !
  25. WOW !! Nice find. I'm sure they made them much better..back then.
  26. I will try to get another photo placed here shortly. Thanks so much for the interest, and this may have belonged to my great grandmother also. So it would be old.
  27. Thank you Ren! I just stored them away again, they are very large.
  28. Thanks Ren, but I don't know how my aunt purchased them, whether as a set or seperate. She has been deceased around 20 years .
  29. Thank you Paul, I really appreciate your help ! Paul helps me quite often. Thanks Ren! There are some very informative people here.
  30. Thanks Ren!
  31. However, that is the most durable hard oak I have in this house...solid and heavy.
  32. Epson...Thank you so much. I believe I used a satin polyurethane varnish. The stain and finish was the easy part after most of the old glue had fallen apart and I like to have never found someone th...
  33. I love these old pictures the way they dressed back then, and the hairstyles !
  34. Too funny! and yes, what did the "partly white" mean??
  35. I'm sure she will love your gift!! I think my mom used to have some of this, but I don't see it in her house anymore. Mom sales her things in garage sales and has not a clue what she is "giving" away.
  36. That's a beauty of a piece of carnival glass ! I love the Northwoods Carnival the best. My grandmother had a deep purple Northwoods pitcher and 6 glasses for years and then her sister asked for it a...
  37. Thank you Shawn. I posted some more pictures. I'm just getting used to showing my little keepsakes and glassware.
  38. I love your jewelry and agree with Agram! I kept all my grandmother's jewelry that she gave me before she died. I played with it when I sat with her in church as a child, and was her only granddaugh...
  39. I love this ! Is it a reversed glass painting?
  40. Oh yes!! those look very familiar! My mom sold Tupperware for 30 years! Tupperware has a lifetime guarantee under normal use.
  41. Tablefull..thank you so much for this information !
  42. Thanks Mustang, I will look that one up when I have more time !
  43. Thanks Mark ! I appreciate you identifying them.
  44. My daughter who is a history person said they made chairs lower back then because people were shorter.
  45. It's a very pretty one. I have my grandmothers which probably belonged to her mother who was born in the later 1800's. She always called it a buffet. People cal them both,..sideboard or buffet. I ...
  46. I love it..whatever it is!! I think it's an old Post Office piece by the way the drawers lean out. I could store lots of art and craft material in that!!
  47. I added in some more pictures, but it is so hard to get good pictures of crystal. I tried several setting's on my camera.
  48. I can't believe people would throw something like this away. Granted it will cost much to restore the fabric, but you can do the wood part yourself. I have taken many pieces that needed refinishing...
  49. That will really be a beautiful sofa, and the walnut is a very hard durable wood that holds up a long time. I can't help but wonder if it had been stored because it looks like dust has been on it and...
  50. I love that antique sofa also! Those 3 cushions have been added later. They are even too long on the front. It probably had a solid piece all across the seat. Good luck with redoing it, and it wil...
