Thursday At Home

Sharing two of my accomplishments on this rainy day...first I found a frame in my stash of stuff that I could use for the twig leaf from Savannah. You know how much I like to preserve leaves from different places... a way to save a precious memory. Then I was able to carve one pumpkin. Usually I cut a lid from the top. This was my first time to cut a hole at the bottom and place the finished pumpkin over the candle. I like carving with patterns because it turns out if you take your time. Thank you for spending a part of your busy day with me.

Scoops and spools

Ah, I remember this place well...Depot Antiques

Rolling pin was made by my father.



Sometimes I use the one in front as holder for a votive candle.


My husband's aunt had these spools inside an old sewing machine drawer.

Small green pottery bowl was a gift from my sister-in-law.

We received more rain. Actually downpours. Therefore, hair appointment and grocery store shopping with my mom were cancelled. Reading, writing, and puttering were today's rainy day activities. One of the very first collections I ever started was old scoops. Years ago in Obion, Tennessee, there was a two-story building that housed lots of wonderful old things and was named Depot Antiques. My favorite room was near the back where all sorts of kitchen items were hanging. I was captivated by the small scoops(and still am). Recently I decided to pull them out of the big cookie cutter jar and give them their own jar along with a few biscuit cutters. More puttering produced a new bedside table display with old wooden spools. And finally with autumn fast approaching I pulled out my two favorite frames with leaves and dates bringing back special memories.

Until next time...stay well...and enjoy your weekend. Hope you do some puttering.

Hugs, Sandy
