I had a hard time picking just one thing. I love to frequent yard sales and thrift stores, so I'm always finding little treasures. So I decided to blog about some of the art around our log home.
We've had this picture for at least 10 years. We got it from a rural auction for $17.
It hangs in our bedroom.
This picture of the drowning cat was found at a flea market.
It hangs in the master bathroom.
Since our cat Disco looks just like the black cat in the picture, I've always liked it.
Lucky for Disco he doesn't get baths.
This little plate was in a thrift store for .99 cents.
We have a lot of Southwestern items around the house, so it fits in.
It hangs on my kitchen cabinets.
This is a painted wooden platter. You can see it was hand made, as it is a little crooked.
Paul and I got this when I was pregnant with Pierce.
We were on a Caribbean cruise and got it from a street vendor in Isla Roatan, Honduras.
It hangs above the kitchen window.
And finally, this piece hangs by the dining room table.
It's the most recent addition - a $5 purchase from the local Friends of the Library book sale.
It's a rural scene of a horse pulling a cart filled with veggies while the family plays in the stream. I love it!

Hi Lisa, I enjoyed seeing your treasures and I did not realize until today you live in a log cabin. It's beautiful. I especially love the picture from Honduras and the plate. Thanks for hosting and I wish you a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove your finds, particularly the parfait glasses!
ReplyDeleteYou have such wonderful treasures! I love them all. It was great to see them hanging in your house.
ReplyDeleteLove all your "finds". I do quite a bit of antiquing and thrift-shopping, and love remembering WHERE I bought each certain thing.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, your home looks lovely! Your finds are all great but I especially love the first picture. So fun to see others treasures.
ReplyDeleteThe best treasures are ones you didn't know you needed! Love all of your unique finds. They fit perfectly into your decor. :)
ReplyDeleteI found a vintage Barbie Date game last fall at the thrift store--my neighbor gal and I plan to play it and drink a nice bottle of wine just as soon as she has her baby!
ReplyDeleteWhat great finds!
ReplyDeleteI collect old cathedral bottles. Carter's ink cobalt ones are my favorite. I love your parfait glasses.

My kids are coming in today from Ohio - but I will take a look around the house.

Any type of art work is always a great find! I love what you found too!!

ReplyDeleteVery cool:)
ReplyDeleteare you having problems with editing? I tried to add your button but when I go to edit, it's really weird and wouldn't do it. Sorry... I did add just your blog with the link.
ReplyDeleteI clearly need to go treasure hunting
ReplyDeleteI am running very late but I just heard about your great party and want to join. I was going out to a street fair and rummage this morning but am glad I got delayed and found you instead. (I probably will check out the street fair at some point.)
ReplyDeleteYou have wonderful taste in treasures.
Mine run a bit more...casual?
(ok, ugly)
Off to add your buttopn to a post!
I love the picture you found for your dining room! That was a great deal at $5! I always love a good bargain! They are always so hard to resist!
ReplyDeleteHave a Great Day!

As you know, Baby Girl, the house is FILLED with "treasures" far too many to mention or display. But this time, I decided that I was more important...:)JP
ReplyDeleteWOW! I have been "excavating" in what used to be the trash heap in my backyard and recently discovered just the base of this same dish. Neat to know what it was originally meant for. Maybe I'll find a whole one in there somewhere. I've been lucky enough to find many whole bottles, including a one gallon Clorox jug!
