Hello friends.
"Do you want to go with me on a prim pick?"
He did not have to ask me twice.
These are the items I brought home.
Bob also bought some for the store.
The beauty in this one is a canning crock.
Anytime you find a brown crock with
an iridescence to it...you know it is old.
Civil War era.
The beauty in this one is a canning crock.
I already know what I am going to put into it
for a Spring display.
Next always looking for leather books.
This one is about President Grant.
Could not pass up a pantry box.
Especially when it has been engraved.
The top one also came home.
When I saw this rug was not exactly sure
where it would go...
Finds out it fits perfectly here on my mule chest.
Next this black piece.
It is a butter stamp mold.
Finally the cream of the crop.
A fine antique flat wood bowl.
Look at those details on the sides.
Not sure if you can tell, but it is
out of round which means it was hand carved.
I scored on this prim pick for sure!
In other news,
my brother and I continue to go to my mom's
twice a week to go through things for
an estate sale.
I hate to say this but my mom was a hoarder.
I found 9 school locks without the combinations.
20 bottles of 50+ vitamins.
Empty Polident tubes everywhere from my dad.
Empty boxes in one closet....don't even
remember how many because there were
boxes inside boxes.
Lots of stuff you would never keep.
More than I can say.
My brother was cleaning her kitchen table
and this is the first time we have seen
the top since my dad passed away.
It's a disease my mom had.
When they built this new house,
my dad told my mom it was not going to
look like their old house...it was kept clean
until my dad passed.
Bob makes dinner for us the days we go to mom's.
It is so nice of him to do this for us.
Last night he made us sweet Italian sausage
with onions and peppers on sub buns,
For a side he made rice.
It was delish.
Lake Huron's ice is coming down towards us now.
You can start to see open water in the big lake now.
Well have to get ready as my brother will be here soon.
New Arrival Blessings To All!

Glad you have some help with the cleaning out of your moms house. It can be overwhelming, especially if she saves so much.
ReplyDeleteYour Prim pick was so good! I love it all.
You did score on the "prim pick!" I come from long lines - lines of hoarders. I too suffer from hoarding. I hide it behind my "business" but, it's the business that sparks my hoarding, digging, finding tendencies. I do sell a lot, but I keep a lot too.
