Junking in the New Year ...

Well it's been a fun start to the New Year this week. It was our First week out junking in a long long time ..and the first time this new year and boy did we have some fun and find some wonderful goodies ..

First up ..the picture below ..on the top the antique glass compote was a great find ..it probably had a lid at one time ..but no matter now ..because this gem is perfect for holding a birds nest and eggs and draped in some old lace. Next to it are to old bottles ..the left one is an old frosted swirl glass talcum bottle with the original label and talcum is still in it. The one on the right probably held a lotion ..and it's also a frosted glass and has a pattern that makes the bottle look like a tassel ..it's pretty wonderful I must say !! Then an old mug that has a sweet raised porcelain flower and leaves ...these are all sitting on an antique 4 piece mold cake stand that is in perfect condition ..and just to die for ..I love old cake plates ..
We also found 2 vintage bibles ..a box of old White buttons a tin can and some old cute rustic hangers and a whisk broom ..bet you can't figure out what I'm going to do with that ...LOL !!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So then we hit another sale ...and we were in need of some vintage jewelry ..and I have to add that Abbey had just prayed the night before and told the Lord we were getting low on our vintage jewelry supply and we sure would appreciate him directing us to some. ...Well Abb heads up to this sale ..and there is one little piece of jewelry and she asks if they have more ..Lo and behold the gal says yes ..and look at this !!!!










God Provided the desire of Abbs heart ...and gave us a bargain at that ...now we have lots of pieces to use on our handmade offerings ..and some of the pieces were perfect so we'll be offering those as they are ..we just can't bring ourselves to chop them up.

Abb and I had a fun time the last 2 days ..going junkin is always alot of fun. You never know what goody your going to happen on ..and you can't wait to get back home to start using them in one way or another or listing them for sale for some other kindred soul to cherish.

Abb and I have been junking together forever and a day ..I remember when I was a young girl ..heading off to flea markets, antique malls, and antique sales ...we never had alot of money so Abb never bought much ..but we had alot of fun looking at all the wonderful offerings. Our memories of junking together will always be with us ..and each time we go out ..it's another fun memory made.

I'll never forget when we were living in MO and we went to the farm sales ..it was a hot August ..and I found some things to stay for and bid on ..well ..there was this little enamel creamer I wanted ..and I waited near 4 hours to get it ..when all of a sudden a young gal popped up and started bidding on all the things I was hoping to get my hands on ..I lost out on all of them ..and when they got to this creamer ..she didn't bid ..only me and one other person ..I think we had it up to like 4 dollars ..anyhow at last call this gal pops her hand up and bids ..I got so irritated that I bid again ..Abb gave me the eye ..like that's too much but I was determined this gal wasn't going to get this from me ...Well she didn't and the laugh was on me ..I WON !!!! Yep I paid 15 dollars for it ..and that was alot back then for it. But I WON !!!! LoL ..that's a funny memory I'll just never forget ..I never get to riled up ..but that day that gal managed to get my big girl panties in a bunch ...!!!

Wishing you all happy junking !!!

P.S. ...I will be listing several of the items for sale ..if you see anything your interested in don't hesitate to ask about it ..

Your Kindred Friend ..Sara

White Wednedsay ....

It's another Beautiful White Wednesday ..and I'm finally back home from our Long Journey to participate.
I love such a diverse style ..from whites on whites ..to even Primitives ..and sometimes even a bit of modern. I'm one of those gals that could have a house with 20 rooms and decorate each one differently. Now wouldn't that be fun !!!
Today I am sharing some of my White Handmades ..that are my own designs. I am offering each of these for purchase right now ...


Firs Is Snowball.... He is just the sweetest .. to read more about him and see more pictures visit my KSGP shop ...click HERE to be directed





The two Sets of Winter White Candy Canes above are some of my favorites ...Of course pictures never do them justice ..They look so much more wonderful in person . I made these from paper mache ..My own design I have been making for 10 years now. Each year we come out with a new style ..and this year is the first in offering the Winter White ..styled with Vintage Jewelry and lace.
Right now these are available on E-bay ..through this coming Sunday night ..click HERE To view more about them and see more pictures.
Till Next week ...Sara of Sweet Magnolias Farm

White White and more White ....

I've been working on more candy canes .....

My First set of Winter White Canes Sold on Etsy this week and headed for far away lands ..(Italy) to be exact. Of course that prompted me to finish up the last of what I had started ..so today I finally finished 3 more sets of our handmade Paper Mache candy canes.

I just finished listing the 3 sets below over in our Sweet Magnolias Farm ETSY store ..




I'm not one for making the same thing over and over again as I'm sure many of you have noticed ..I tend to stick with custom One of a Kind Items .. However I really enjoy making these candy canes ..even though they are time consuming ..I love how they turn out.

The pictures came out Great ..but there really is nothing like seeing these in person...They sparkle beautifully ..and well you can really see that they are sculpted and 3 dimensional. I wish we had touch a vision or something ..LOL !!!

I just recently decided to take part in White Wednesday hosted by ... Kathleen at Faded Charm
So be sure to stop back in Wednesday to see the wonderful whites ..I have to share with you ..

Have a Beautiful Tomorrow ..and remember God Loves You !!!

Blessings ..Sara
