YES where do you LIVE, I want to shop with you and your dd.lol I love making things new and beautiful again. I believe its a gift of some sort because not everyone see's items like this and is able to do like what has been done here in your photo's. What great treasures!!. I find that for myself when I am not looking too terribly hard for a certain something, it always ends up jumping out at me and I see the potential, and of course would this work for me and what I would want to utilize it for. Thanks for sharing.... Great post and for stopping by my blog too.

Wow Kitty! Your daughter is very talented! I love everything she did. My favorite place to shop is the second hand stores for things that people "throw away". Have a wonderful day!

What fun seeing what can be done or used from that which others see as junk. I also love the rustic look and enjoy creating the Prim look I love. Thanks for sharing your dd's ideals with me. Great Job! I enjoyed your post. Blessings,rilda *U*

Blessings Sister Kitty!
I love the treasures:) I love barn saleing:) In fact, I adore trash treasures:)
The table she has is the same one my mother had for many many years. The lower rack is for LP records...you remember those:P A small turntable sat on top. I love it!
The quilt top find...fantastic:)
The outhouse? Charming:) Originally the outhouse symbols in the doors had nothing to do with anything. They simply cut a hole in the door to release the methane gases that build up in those tidy little cubicles. Men, mostly (yes women did too), would smoke in them while taking care of business. If the gases built up folks would literally blow themselves up! What away to go...ew!
The shapes that were cut into the doors changed to specific shapes later on to depict the sexes. The moon was the womens bathroom used because of the traditional symbol "luna" which didn't mean moon but rather meant womanhood. The star was used for the men and I can't remember why. My gran told me long ago but I just can't recall at the moment. Anyway, the men liked using the womens because it was kept cleaner and eventually the star was dropped and it became just a single (or two holer is what I grew up with) and everyone used it:)
The most interesting one I ever used was the two story one. It really did work and no one was icked in the lower half:P But it did look funny and I was not willing to be the one that it failed on so I refused to use the lower half:)
I went saleing today with my sweet husband and found some fun things too. Great day for it:)
Thank you for sharing these!
God be with thee!
