A Vintage Breeze


Blowing in the Wind.....







Tattered, Old
Stained & Stinky

My cousin just wanted to throw all this away, I rescued from the Messy house
washed & now it is drying in the mild breeze ~

Tired White Wednesday


Tired Week ~ Lots of heavy manual labor, stinking places & Mice.....
but also unpacking Vintage Treasures.....

This Dress was My Gramma's
about 100 years old
I Love It

I had high hopes of using the dresser as a Display & taking photos with the Drawers Open
and White Treasures setting or hanging out the drawers.....
I thought it would be Fun
Can You Almost Picture it????
but I was too Tired & settled for the Easy
Sorry




I am Not use to WORKING every day & Really Miss Blogging for Hours




Messy Work = Treasures


I sure miss sitting here for hours & visiting All My Blogging Friends

I will be back Soon, I Promise ~

Here are some of the Wonderful Treasures that I have unpacked & been able
to take home.....

over the past few days, I have Filled & Hauled out
47 Bags out of this Old House
we're talking construction grade 44 gallon size bags.....

I still have 2 more bedrooms to clear & one closet ~
so at least another 2-3 days of work

I just hope that the Furry thing that ran across my path yesterday,
stays away..... from all the mousie Poo, I know He has Buddies!





I'll show more treasures in a day or 2

Back to Work I Go.....

Miss You All

What A Mess ~

When I say Mess ~ I Really Mean MESS

[Warning - These are Not your Average Pretty - Treasure Hunting Photos]


Not as bad as a Hoarder
But close enough too



an Entire house to go thru
My Cousins Mother in Law died last month
she had been
homebound for many years ~

I volunteered to Help clear out the House

My Cousin & I hauled out 32 - 44 gallon Construction grade
garbage bags just today ~
just the living room & part of the kitchen


Rubber gloves & masks were part of Our Attire
(let's say, Lots of Old Mouse Poop)

I am tired ~ but it was Interesting,
will be heading back in the morning, by Myself.....

Not only am I getting paid hourly ~
there's alot of Treasures that I will be able to list
on
eBay or Etsy.....

Now for a Long Hot Soak in Tub
