A Little Home Improvement

 I've had 'paint the pantry door' on my To Do List

for almost a year.  Not my Fun Fall To Do List, but the

Serious Not So Fun Chore List. :)

So this week I finally thought I'd get that done!

As you can see, it didn't match the other interior doors

in the house that we painted in 2012.  If you want to

see those black interior doors, click here.  We still love them

and it makes the house look so much nicer!

Just look at that cruddy door.  I couldn't scrub it white

any longer!  Nasty!

It didn't take long for it to look like this!  Nicer!

Yesterday at the auctions, I had this cute little battery operated

cuckoo clock ask me to bid on her.  Of course I had to

with that little bird looking back at me, looking so sweet!

I ended up hanging it on the pantry door today.

What?  You don't hang clocks on your pantry doors?

I know...I'm just strange like that. :)

This clock chimes every 12 hours with a different little

tune, then gives the hour.  Sweet!  It's right at home

with all of our other ticking and chiming clocks.

I'm liking the look...rather autumnal!

And best of all....no dirty fingerprints!

Quite a few things came home from the auction with me.

Many are already washed up and in the Etsy shop, if

you'd like to window shop. :)

A few things for me....some old books and an old

Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook.  I've never had one!

Can't wait to flip through it.  That book on the bottom is

a vintage ledger, the pages are yellowed but clean.

It's never been used.  Really cool.  It will go in the shop soon.

My favorite thing was this 33 piece miniature white ironstone

 set of antique dishes.  I'm thinking teddy bear tea party.

I hope it ends up somewhere it will be loved and appreciated. :)

One of a dozen little tea cups and saucers.

Isn't that sweet?
