and I've already blown one new year's resolution! The whole frugal, green thing. But, I did stay with the green thing, because it's always green to buy primitive antiques, right?! This is the blanket chest I bought today. I sold my old coffee table and couch at the auction last spring, bought a new couch last July and have been looking for a chest to use as a coffee table for awhile. And here it is.
The inside even has a shelf/tray that slides on the top. I think I'm probably going to put some quilts in it.
I haven't filled it yet, but love that I have a space to put candles and small quilts on the top again.
And then I found this little bookshelf (same shop) and I put it in my library (I also sold the four big bookcases I had in the library at the auction). I haven't decided for sure what I'm going to put on it, but the rings indicate to me that this was a crock stand, so I put a couple of my crocks on it. I love old crocks and collect them, so I could probably fill it with crocks, but I think I might add a couple of old hard bound books with the crocks. Haven't quite decided yet, so I'll play with it and try different things. I adore primitives, so this little shelf just made my day!
So, even though I already broke one of my resolutions, I'll start over in my resolve to spend less (especially since I'll be pinching pennies til the end of the month now! vbg :-))
Gratitudes:
Finding treasures and being able to buy them when I want.
Having a friend with a Suburban that likes to antique shop with me! Thanks Kris!

I love that chest as well. Crocks are great I have one next to the wood stove I keep kindling in. LOL
