Tolentreasures

These aprons were a yard sale find. I finally managed to remember to buy some spray starch and press them all neatly. Well, as neatly as I press anyway.    Niagara Spray Starch, wow, the memories that smell brings back! My Mom should have bought stock in that company!     Anyway, they are finally all listed in my Etsy shop if anyone is interested!   Thanks everyone for stopping by there!   https://www.etsy.com/shop/tolentreasures     And some lace.   I happen to have a lot of this.   Auctions, flea markets and yard sales.    I cannot let a box of handwork go by. I think of how much work has gone into that and it is being sold for nothing!     Needless to say, I have drawers full of the stuff. These, I pulled out for my camper.   And.... speaking of that.... wait for it....   My camper was the feature of the week on ...

Has anyone else been having issues with posting pictures to Blogger?   I sure have!     So, since it only wants to take one picture at a time.... here it is!   A giveaway!   A 7 x 14 Snowman Canvas.   All you have to do is comment on this post and you are entered.     How easy is this!      I have not posted in awhile, have tried, but the pics just won't load and I get impatient and frustrated!    I have been adding things to my long abused Etsy shop!    If you shop on Etsy, Stop by!   I am trying to add things daily.   https://www.etsy.com/shop/tolentreasures?ref=search_shop_redirect

Pics of finished projects. Lots of eggs. An afghan done! Wyatt's handprint on the wall, finally. Now all we need is Garren's. These are over the bathtub, just noticed that Gracelyn's is a little crooked. Another finished dress. And you see how blurry these pictures are? Even with steady shot set on the camera, this little boy is way too fast. Finally got him to sit still for a minute. Maybe he was tired, I know I was! And now for the no pics. Wyatt, taking a huge bite out of a roll of toilet paper while I was running bath water, then peeing on the floor, then when I finally got him in the tub and thought, "Wow, he is corralled, I can sit right here and not have to chase him." He puked the toilet paper all through the bath water. So much for that peaceful moment! And the second no pic. Laundromat, Saturday. Everything is done and dry and folded. And... Where is my MIL's comforter that she sent with me? and Where is my favorite blanket that my mother ma...

Final sign-up this evening. These are the items for the giveaway. There will be a first, second and a new follower prize. Here is how it is going to work.... I had to really think about this. When I announce the first winner, that person will have first choice. The second place, will have to let me know their first and second choice,  in the event that their first choice is taken. and the new follower prize winner will have to give me a first, second and third choice of their prize. There is still time to sign up. Scroll on down to the 500th POST giveaway and sign up! It is going to take me awhile to get the entry list made and numbered. Of course, these are just the MAIN prizes. I will fill the boxes with other goodies also. And remember, this washboard is painted with snowmen on the back. So go on down and enter for your chance to win. Drawing at....let's say 9:00 tonight EST!

This has been an ongoing project.  The bench needed painted. I had this idea to paint this old cooler for on it. There is a similar one on my front porch. It still needs a tag on it.  Maybe tomorrow. It's been a long week. This is always one of our busiest weeks of the year. Local festival. Last minute shirts. A few additional last minute jobs. Resulting in lots of overtime. Self employment overtime. Not the kind that you get paid time and a half for. The kind that people say "Thanks for getting our stuff done so fast" "The check will be in the mail [sometime]" Anyway, Added to that have been a few traumas. As usual. One is a little indelicate. I'll wait until last for that one. It may be a little offensive. But I have to share. We'll start with kid traumas. If someone is going to get hurt, injured or sick, it is going to be Logan. That child has had more emergency trips in his short life than I can count. Gasping for air, croupy emergency trips. I h...
