Old typewriter Lynn brought home one day


This is a little shelf in our entertainment center.  My sister was throwing away this piece of furniture, it was cherry wood finish, I grabbed it and painted it black.  Now I think she secretly wants to take it home every time she comes over.  Right Joanie?


Lynn found this one day out on a travel trip and brought it home, he bought it for $15.00.  He was so excited he got a great deal.  I think he did.  


I put my miniature vase collection by the side and love the new look of this area.  Two of the vases where from Ireland when we were there fifteen years ago.  One a gift with the cladaugh and one I bought with the shamrocks.  The others found here and there at flea markets. Lynn's Mom got me the little porcelain lidded box with December printed on it, my birthday month.  

Fun to change up little areas around the house. 
Plus it made me polish the silver tiered fleur del lis stand.

Heading to Canton this weekend!  Huge Texas flea market.

  1. That typewriter was an awesome find. Lucky you to be the new proud owner! Woo Hoo!

    I'm thinking your sister might want back her cabinet....it's very pretty. When we moved from CA to Oregon I gave my daughter a hutch that I loved but didn't think would fit in next home. Every time I'm at her house I could kick myself. She loves it also so at least it has a good home :)

    Thank you so much for linking to Woo Hoo! Wednesday. I'm so glad you found your way to our party. Would you like a glass of wine? :)
