Finds from last Saturday

These finds should have been posted last weekend, this is the contraband my mom and I found on our way to and from Birch Bay last Saturday.  

Yes more silverware & sheet music.  I loved this little black plastic sign I picked up for only .99, I plan on hanging that next in our spare room.  

An old money bag, my mom had the great thought of turning it into a small pillow. 

Yes more corks.  Wait until you see the project I have planned.

I have a little globe that is the same as these two.  I couldnt resist.

My mom found this adorable children's lunchpack at a thrift store.  I love anything with letters and the alphabet. 

TBKC 1953 - I am going to see what if I can find what the initials are for.

I was so excited when I found this.  I had seen them advertised in Real Simple and Country Living and now I have one for half the price.  It is a ceramic strawberry basket. 

My mom found this framed old radiator grate. It is heavy.

Three Iron Stone platters.  

8 of these pretty soup bowls - I love to mix and match china.

Two new owl friends to grace my collection. 

A Rock Show

Every time I think about this silly conversation I had once I just laugh to myself.  Years ago it was my first week as a receptionist and I was chatting with a courier that came in and introduced himself.  So on Friday I asked him what he had planned for the weekend and he told me that he was going to a rock show.  So I asked for which band and he looked at me like I was a weirdo.  He said, no a Rock and Gem Show, oh gotcha, I said.  He was a rock collector.  Silly me!

A few weeks ago Jay and I spent the afternoon at Carkeek Park in Seattle.  One of our 'things' we like to do at the beach is make rock stacks and then take a picture of them.  We always make them side by side and they have to be at least 7 rocks high.

We also found some beach glass. I have a large apothecary jar that we fill with our finds of driftwood, beach glass, shells and heart shaped rocks.

Well tomorrow is Friday!!  It is also my first day back to work in a month.  No more staying up late surfing blogs and sleeping in.
