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 grandmothers oak furniture, and I have refinished it all myself. I have spent many hours stripping, sanding, and getting it to perfection. 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. I also play piano and organ as a church accompanist. (Read more)

  10. I love antique organs, but I have not sat down to play one that still works. I played electric organs years for church. I think the old ones like yours have so much more artistic personality in the ...

  12. Beautiful detail carving on this table!! I suspect the table I have is that old also. My table belonged to my late grandparents who were born in the early 1900's. Grandmother had many pieces of fur...
  13. What a beautiful cat!! I love cats and had had many during my lifetime. I can't turn a stray away or at least find it the proper home. My 20 year old cat, Silverbell recently died, about a month ag...
  14. Thanks Eisenbach, it very well may not be mission oak. I wish I could find out as it has been in our family at least a century. I think I should replace the mirror.
  15. It could be a piano bench that stores music. Not sure if it is that sturdy however. Interesting piece !
  16. "If I fall I won't make all that money promised to me" !
  17. 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.
  18. Thanks Pickergirl, I think you're right about the butter dish. Granny was 103 when she passed away in 2005.
  19. 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.
  20. 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...
  21. Wow, Wayne, quite a carnival ware collection !! Beautiful !
  22. Some of the glassware on the buffet is antique however.
  23. Thank you for the compliments on the buffet. Oh, that rooster is new from Hobby Lobby. Not an antique, something I love!
  24. Beautiful piano ! If they would only combine new piano's with intricate carving design like they used to that would be good & quality wood !
  25. Theses are so beautiful, love the colors !
  26. Thanks Ren !
  27. 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.
  28. Thanks everyone for loving this old platter !
  29. Thanks for loving my tins Blunderbuss and Mustangtony !

  40. WOW !! Nice find. I'm sure they made them much better..back then.
  41. 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.
  42. Thank you Ren! I just stored them away again, they are very large.

  46. However, that is the most durable hard oak I have in this house...solid and heavy.
  47. 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...
  48. I love these old pictures the way they dressed back then, and the hairstyles !
  49. Too funny! and yes, what did the "partly white" mean??
  50. 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.
