It’s cold here…but not too cold for junk shopping.
The JTS and I got a new-to-us (2003) truck.
Now I can haul more junk.
Just have to remember the workshop is only so big
Nice French Provincial dresser but I didn’t buy it.
Bought this piece instead.
Isn’t it a beauty?
I paid more than I should but it’s the first vintage wardrobe I’ve found in a while.
cute
I got this jar….only$3 for the jar and the metal lid.
Some places try to sell these for $20 or more.
I got this yellow door too….solid wood…$10.
Can you believe…the tall wardrobe fit in the truck bed just fine but the door was about 1” too long.
Oh well.
This week we have themed furniture Thursday and the theme is red!
Just in time for Christmas.
I also have a couple of Christmas crafts I”m working on .
We need to have a heat wave so I can take photos outside.
Don’t think it’s going to happen.
Have a great day, Kathy

I love the wardrobe and can’t wait to see what you do with it! What are your plans for the door?

Well you really found a treasure again, oh how I love that wardrobe. It is awesome girl, I’m getting green behind the gills here. What an awesome find. Sometimes it’s worth it to spend more.
There were pieces I had money to buy after we refinanced last year but didn’t buy for maybe $25 or $50 more and have nothing really to show for that money. You worked hard all your life, you and your hubs, you deserve to have that wardrobe.
That’s why when I saw that couch at Habitat early this summer I bought it without over thinking things too much and am so glad. I had to do some money juggling but oh was it worth it. I’m so much happier now with couch we have, such a small thing but sure made me happy.
I don’t ask for much personally, still wear clothes I’ve had for years, they still look good and they’re clean, so why get rid of them? Daughter gave me many prs. of capris she got from woman she was cleaning house for, her husband was the Marlboro man. I still wear those capris after all these years. When I’m home I wear my around the house clothes. This was in 2004/2005 that she gave me those clothes. Don’t buy make up or fancy face stuff, or jewelry. I’m Just a plain person that lives simply.
Great truck, good for you two, buying yourselves a new to you truck. You can claim it as a tax deduction for your business can’t you?
By the way how is your hubs doing? Hope very well. HE sure seemed to do very well almost from beginning. So happy for you both.
Oh your jar, I have 3 of them, 2 bigger and one smaller, maybe size of yours. Can’t remember if I got the in MT or KY. think both actually. One of them has a lid with part glass and zinc I love it. Daughter has tried to talk me out of them but I’m not budging. She’ll have to wait til I croak. She’s getting to age now where she’s more interested in old things than she used to be. Appreciates them more. She always comments on my keeping things forever and using them, not getting rid of.
Have great week Kathy, happy season. Look forward to seeing what you do with that wardrobe.

I love the wardrobe, just what I’ve been looking for my guest room for my crafts. Neat jar also.

I love the wardrobe and would love to have it, dings and all. I have an old quart jar like that from my grandmother’s. The lid is zinc. I’ve had it since the ’70’s. It was already old when I got it, so I’d say $3 is a steal when new Mason jars are $1 or more.

Sissy says

Oh Kathy I wish we had a place like that near us – gave me goosebumps just looking at your pictures! I saw a few things in those photos I would have loved to snap up. $10.00 for that awesome door – I paid $60.00 for one similar (I know crazy but I really needed that door). Can’t wait to see what you do with the wardrobe. Love the new look of your blog too BTW. Have a great week!
