What to do with....

THESE!!!

aren't they fabulous?!!!
There are small little ones up to larger men's sizes.
Hubby thinks I'm nuts :)
Any fun ideas as to what I can do with them?  
I was thinking about altering them into a picture holder or ???
Help!

My treasure :)

A few weeks ago hubby and I went to our first auction.
As we were walking around I saw these little beauties...
I fell in love
I had to have them!
well, it was an auction and was there anyone who loved them as much as I did?

Finally, after about 3 hours it was time for them to be auctioned off.
I splurged and these babies came home with me!

They are spice shakers from Tipp City and are in excellent condition, don't even think they've been used
and after googling them, I found out I did pretty darn good!
they make me smile :)

My new vintage love blog!

I decided it was time to start a blog about my love of vintage!
  I hope to share with you stuff I find for myself as well as a closer look at some of my etsy items!

One of the first things I just HAVE to share with you is 
THIS!!

After a recent visit to my Aunt Kathy's totally AWESOME back yard, 
I decided I needed one of these, you know... to fill with flowers.
I found a garage sale listed on Craigs List ...saying she had some neat old junk
she was right!
How much do you think I paid?

Yep, you guessed it! 
$5.00
yep
  FIVE DOLLARS!!
SO excited!

I also bought these beauties for $2.00 each :) 

Now all I need is a chippy chair!
