This week, I dug around in our shed and found a couple of old windows I have been holding on to. My husband saw me drag one of them out and was happy as he thought I had decided to get rid of these windows....are you kidding me???  Ummmm...  N-O !!!!

Here it sits against a tree after I took the hose to it to wash it off  a bit....I do have a plan for this window......but it will have to wait until this weekend.

Here are some milk glass vases and lots of vases that are not milk glass, but you'd never know it now...they had a little makeover and now all of them are beautiful white vases....they have a job to do and I will tell you all about it in a few days.

We have lots of old abandoned  buildings that were once businesses all across our town. One day not long ago I spotted a sign in the window of one of the buildings. The windows had bars, but behind the bars on the outside of the window was this advertisement for a circus that came to town.

No date, but I know it had been there for a long time. The tape was wearing off and it was barely still on the window. I talked my husband into driving the "get-away-truck" as I decided to "rescue" this old or at least looks old poster.

I have plans for it as well as the old window.....I have been super busy the last couple of months and soon, I can show you what I have been working on!!

In case you have not noticed, I sometimes go to the extreme when I see something I want. Even it if means prying it off an old window and behind burglar bars at that! I call it trying to improve rundown properties by clearing the windows of trash!!! Ahem....do you agree??

Happy Vintage Thingie Thursday!

Do you like a Mystery.....do you like to make quilt blocks????

I love a mystery!! Not only do I love a mystery, but I love to lend a hand when I can!!

There was a blog post and facebook status yesterday from a quilter,, fabric designer, Thomas Knauer, whom I follow. Thomas was asking for help with a new quilt project. He is an amazing quilter and his fabric lines are a breath of fresh air. If you have never visited his blog, I would recommend that you pay him a visit. His work is refreshing and I really am inspired by his quilting.

He asked a question on facebook yesterday about asking for volunteers to make a block.....He was not sure he would get enough support and it is a all or nothing type of project. He was encouraged to give it a shot and lots of folks have agreed to doing a mystery block. Thomas assured it was very easy to do. He needs 225 DIFFERENT folks to participate or this won't work like it needs to work. The fabrics will be sent and the pattern and you add a piece or two from your stash and complete the block. Easy Peasy!!

Stop by his post HERE and read the details. I signed up and hope you take a moment to do the same...I really LOVE this type of thing and being a part of something that a quilting community does together!!

Won't you join us....he still needs lots of help with this project and quilters always come through for each other!!  It is JUST one block.....fast, done and leaves you with a feeling of accomplishment in helping to see a project completed!! Plus....it is a mystery......in a way!!!  LOVE IT!! Stop by and sigh up....Tell Thomas I sent you!! Lets do this together!
