Scavenger Hunt Week 4....Part 2

Here is part 2 of Week 4's scavenger hunt at 1890 Gable House Musings.

We've been having so much fun playing this game that Misi split the final week into 3 parts.

For part two we needed 4 of the 6 of the following items:

Ruby slippers/shoes

Wooden shoes

Biscotti

Christening gown

Dried apple gourd

Heart pantry cake

I'm not sure if all of my goodies qualify, but this is what I came up with. This one was the toughest for me. Maybe because I didn't have much time to hunt with all the things going on around our house.

 It has been great fun.

Anticipation of the weekly list.

The hunt.

Looking at all the lovely displays.

Here goes....Old Christening gown

My son's Christening suit.

Wooden shoes...

Biscotti...

Ruby slippers...

Heart pantry cake...

All together...

Part 3 is furbabies or flowers. Fun! Fun!

Thanks Misi for a terrific time!!

Have a wonderful evening!!

Scavenger Hunt Week 4.... Part 1

This is week 4 & the final week of Misi's  scavenger hunt. Everyone is having such a fun time that Misi decided to throw in a twist. She split week 4 into three parts. This is part one.

We need 2 items from the following list:

Bath & Body Work's - Gentle Foaming Hand Soap ~ "Warm Vanilla Sugar

Bath & Body Work's - Midnight Pomegranate Lotion


Bath & Body Work's - Orange Sapphire Lotion

Ulta Beauty's - 3 in 1 Shower Smoothies ~ Pink Champagne-or-Key Lime-or-Tangerine Dreams

Sephora's- Body Butter

Bed Head's - Hair Spray


John Frieda's - Shampoo
One Source's - Gummi Bear Multi Vitamins or any vitamins


Sally Hansen's - Diamond strength Nail Polish


Any CST,Big Bar Moisturizing Soap- Eucalyptus & Aloe, or Bergamot & Mint, or Tea Tree & Lavender, or Clay & Ginseng



 
 

I had the shampoo & the vitamins. I had some Bath & Body works products, but not the one's on the list.

A little display in an old basket.

And little miss nosy~Zoey had to see what mamma was up to. She's really wondering where the pizza went.

And we also needed one item from Misi's Bero's list. These included:

A Half Eaten Pizza

The movie ~ Chevy Chase*Christmas Vacation

Polo Blue Cologne
A Bottle of True Blood --(ok that's mine...missing my Mr Bill Compton :0)

It's hard to get a picture of pizza when you have two hungry teenagers in the house. We usually don't have leftovers, so I had to quickly snap a picture before they devoured it.

And the little lady in the picture is Miss Becky. She is one of the goodies I received from my swap with Marie aka Old Lady Morgan. The chair is hers & she wasn't budging.

Make sure to head over to Misi's blog to check out the displays by the others taking part in the hunt. Misi is a wonderful hostess & we're all having a blast!!

I'll be posting part 2 of my hunt in a bit.

Enjoy your evening~Becky

Name that Bear Contest & Birthday Goodies in the Mail

I have to tell you about this wonderful giveaway in blogland. Traci from York Mountain Mercantile is having a name that bear contest on her selling blog. You can get up to 5 chances to win this wonderful teddy. Contest ends on April 19th so hurry on over. Click on the link above to visit her. While you're at it, check out her regular blog too. You can find her here.

On to the goodies!! I ordered a couple things from Traci & they arrived yesterday. In the box was this little ditty bag with a Birthday card & some jelly beans. You see~I had ordered myself a Birthday present from Traci.

This was also in my package. The picture is not too great, but it is an old fashioned railroad ticket. It has the destination, starting point, mailing date, estimated arrival date, conductors (Traci's) signature & a few other things on it. It is a wonderful keepsake to go with my present.

These are my two presents to myself. I bought Traci's wonderful penny pillow & SEB bear. I fell in love with SEB as soon as I saw him, but was hoping someone else would snatch him up. You see, I'm not a bear kind of girl. I love prim rabbits. I kept checking & hoping he was adopted, but day after day he called to me. Finally I decided he was meant to be mine. OMG, he is perfect!!!

So much better here than in his portrait. I will treasure him always. No old trunk for him!!

Thank you so much Traci!! Your work is fabulous!!

Have a wonderful day friends!!

I need to turn off my computer! I'll be working on my giveaway goodie today & hopefully will finish it.

Springtime Swap Goodies

I took part in Char's (the Pickled Pepper Patch) springtime swap & was partnered with Jennifer aka Busy Bee. These are the goodies she sent to me.

A wonderfully prim bonnet. I added it to my peg shelf with all my other bonnets. It fits right in.

Yummy chocolates (had to hide them from the boys). Still have one of the candy bars~surprise, surprise!!

Spring pantry jar with faux grass. Melting tarts that smell so yummy.

And this awesome candle holder that she made.

And here are 2 of the things I sent her~a little framed picture & a bumble bee. I forgot to take pics of her other goodies, but I also sent her a bag of spring chick bowl fillers, a prim metal basket with old quilt bunnies & prim eggs, a bunny pocket, & a bag of reeses mini peanut butter cups.

It was a fun swap & I want to thank her for my goodies. Also a big thanks to Char for hosting.

Have a great evening~Becky

Tuesday Display Chain~Redo & Hoosier for Sale

Happy Tuesday friends. I'm linking up with Misi today at 1890 Gable House Musings for today's display chain. This weeks theme is redo.

This is what I am working on redoing. I made the lamp shade from a plain white shade. Wove this wool basket & stitched on some berries & vines. The base is an old spool that someone had made into a lamp. As you can see, I still need to remove the apple & sand off the red paint.

And after checking out some other bloggers offerings, I decided to redo the tops of some of my things. I was so excited to be redoing some things, that I forgot the "before" pics until after I had everything ripped apart.

This is the top of a cabinet in my living room. Decided to put a bunch of my Rowe pottery in one place instead of having it spread throughout the house.

This shelf is on the wall in my dining room. Before it was just a hodge podge of different things. I decided to add most of my old bobbin collection to it.

Redid the top of my pie safe in my sewing room. This used to hold my bobbin collection. I like the simplified look here.

This little stand sits on a small table in my sewing room. This is a new addition. I added some pinkeeps & the rest of my bobbin collection here.

Here is the Hoosier cabinet I'm selling. The blue cupboard took it's place & while I love the Hoosier, I no longer have a home for it. It would have to be picked up, but if you're looking for a hoosier & live close to Milwaukee, Wisconsin (or are interested in a road trip) shoot me an email & we'll talk.

Make sure to head over to Misi's blog to check out what others have redone.

I'm off to tech school with #1 son for a required meeting about his upcoming classes.

Have a wonderful day!!

Thank you to all who commented to wish me a Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday to Me & Giveaway Coming

Today was my birthday & it was an okay day. I have a horrible cold & hubby was home today with the same thing. I've had better days, but that's okay. I still spent the evening with my hubby & boys which is just where I wanted to be.

This is one of my birthday gifts from my mom. A doll size blue cupboard just like the big one I just bought. I love it!! Thank you Mom!! It's made from old cigar boxes.

And this is the other gift from my Mom. A nice blue banded bowl to go in my cupboard. I'm so lucky to have my Mom around.

I will also be posting a giveaway sometime this week. I've passed the 200 posts mark,it's my birthday, & I'm really close to 200 followers. I'm not sure what I'm going to give away yet, but I'm thinking some kind of penny rug. Stay tuned!!

I'm off to blog hop a bit before heading off to bed. Have a good night everyone!!
