JaCkPoT...

...well not the jackpot kind with money, but JACKPOT when it comes to pewter, jugs, and anything else that pertains to a Primitive ~ Colonial home :)

I was fortunate to find a few more Garage Sales not far from home. I am so happy that I decided to drop in and check them out!

One that I hit, had these wonderful pewter pieces that they were selling next to nothing. I scooped them right up and didn't say a word to anyone...LOL. In my neck of the woods, pewter is still not a demanding hot item. But jugs and crocks are becoming such a demand, with this being said, prices are getting higher. Bummer! But I was lucky enough to grab these two wonderful jugs and mini crock.
I am slowly trying to grow my pewter collection. I decided to go hunting on Ebay and boy oh boy was I ever happy that I won these two auctions that I bidded on. Again, I hardly payed anything.
I'll be sharing my new collection with you in another post. So far, I love every piece I have collected. I'll keep it under wraps for now in my town because once people find out that something is highly collectible, they start jacking up the prices...so shhhhhh for now ;)

I then went to the next garage sale and was tickled pink when I found all these goodies. I couldn't believe my own eyes...LOL
Another pewter piece (little dish), tiny little jug like (green item on the chair), this wonderful child's chair, corn pan, cheese box (not a antique but come on, I still couldn't leave it behind), two pie pans that have 'New England' etched into the tin. I thought of all you New England ladies when I snatched them up :)...and lastly my very first firkin! Oh boy was I excited to grab this find!

I also found this old basket that was used to pick potatoes. I believe that was the hardest job I ever did in my life. I also hated it and soon realized on day 1 I no longer wanted to pick potatoes but my father made me stick it out till the end. Let me tell you, I never asked to go potato picking again...LOL. But when I saw the basket, it brought back memories and in my neck of the woods, that was the most demanding job back in the day. I want to make a display outside with it. I also found this wonderful x-large plate that is in tan color but has a yellow ring around the rim. I really loved it! I have it displayed with my yellowware in my large cabinet.
....and last but not least, I went shopping to my fav new prim shop across the border. I snatched up some really awesome goodies to add to my decor...
I found myself a new peg board that is now in my bedroom, some dried flowers, blacken waxed sheep, couple small gourds, a tiny crock, two different kinds of flower picks for decor, couple little birdies, a beautiful stitched flower on wool and a cross stitch with the name Abigail.
Now, I have been busy tweaking here and there. I find one spot to place my new goodies but then you all know what it's like, it finds a new home...LOL. I have also been working on some of my finds, painting and such.

I'll be posting pictures very soon of my homestead with all the new goodies and all the changes. I am getting there...slowly but surely. My home is slowly becoming exactly what I have been trying to achieve. And I am loving it!

Here's wishing you all a wonderful week! Thanks for dropping by and stay tuned for some home pictures.

Until next time...
