Treasure Hunting

Weekend in pictures.


Thursday's find.
Found this basket full of beautiful threads and yarns
with bonus blue ball jar for $1.50!!!!

More Treasure
 Does anyone have a clue what this is?
It's some kind of loom (I believe).
I have a strong feeling I know what to do with it.
When I weave a gorgeous blanket I will share the results.
Fun find for only $0.75

I'm a sucker for cute.

These vintage looking hangers will be perfect for my daughter's room.

I paid a mere $0.25 each!

 I love old signs etc... 

Right now I keep my growing collection in the garage.

Some day I hope to adorn my potting shed and greenhouse with them.

This old grape crate end was only $0.25

complete with crooked nails sticking out the ends. ha!

My ultimate favorite find this weekend.

I adore old cameras!!!!

Aren't these just grand?

I paid $5.00 for the pair!

I'm swooning over here.

 

Nature Treasure

  My chives are in bloom.

They are so wonderful!

I love the purple and green together.

Nature's color pallettes.

Always magnificent.

Hubby made me an herb planter.

Isn't it fun?!?!?

Two nests.

Two tries.

Two failed attempts.

The birds were nesting like crazy around here this spring.

In the trees and in the bird houses.

For some reason, the majority of attempts were failures.

 Hubby carved me this bird house out of cedar.

A chickadee claimed it within a day of hanging.

They build their nest with moss.

If you peek up underneath you can see the vibrant green moss peeking out of the floor boards.

I was lying on my back for these next two pictures.

Trying to get a bird's eye view.  ;)

One with the chive blossoms in focus, the other contrasting with the house in focus.

Here is Lennon watching me from inside the house

wondering what the freak is doing rolling around on the ground outside!

 This morning's sunrise.

Hope you had a fun filled weekend.

Are you keeping your eyes open to all the treasure in the world?

Lennon Update

Thanks much to all for your well wishes. Ends up mums are not liver or kidney toxic (in other words, they're not known to cause failure of either). Just really hard on the tummy and GI tract. He's had a lot of issues with his tummy since the beginning so I am praying that it heals properly. He has to be able to eat and drink or he will dehydrate, the organs will start to be affected, etc...
The vet had a shot to stop the vomiting. He finally kept down a tablespoon of special prescription soft food late this evening (first thing to stay down in well over 24 hrs.). He seems to be feeling better than this morning but is nowhere near acting like himself. The vet said it would take time and I need to watch for dehydration and lethargy. So far so good. Been keeping him warm and lots of cuddles. Last time he tossed his tummy there was no more blood. I'm hoping to wake up to a kitten again. He's acting like a 15 year old cat (like my other kitty fella).
Thank you all for your prayers, healing energy and well wishes. I just know it's been helping him. It sure has been helping me get through. I was so scared! Now I'm very hopeful. I really must share his life story some time soon.

Thank you, thank you, thank you again!!!!!
