Happy Happy Monday, Pumpkins. The biscuits are hot out of the oven so please do grab a plate as I pull out the strawberry jam . Or would you prefer grape or blackberry? Hmmm I think blackberry will be my pick.
Do you think you are up to starting the week with looking at some junk? Hee! Hee!
Many of y'all know that I love anything rusty, crusty, old, and well loved . Well 30 years ago, I was gifted a huge butcher block counter from our local restaurant that was going out of business. At the time, I was living in a different house and so the large table was moved to the barn- hence how this became rusty and crusty.😀😁
Yes, it has been in the barn for that long. Well, Mr. Pinker with the help of the tractor loaded it up and brought it up to the house for me to enjoy on the patio for the summer.
It is a massive piece which included the rails and the meat hooks . Please excuse all of the barn dirt and dust on it.

The hooks on the overhead ring are super sharp.
I would love to have this piece in the house but there is no way we could ever get it in so for the summer and fall seasons I have enjoyed it on the patio.
Earlier this fall , I decorated it with lots of thrifty finds and nature's treasures like walnuts, sticks and leaves.

I even pulled out a wonderful quilt that I am calling Wickenburg Pumpkins.
Back in January , I picked up this darling quilted wall hanging from the Goodwill in Wickenburg, AZ.
Bright happy pumpkins and falling leaves make up this sweet piece.

Now hold on to your bloomers! Guess what I paid. $2.49! Wow! I just could not leave it behind.
It is machine pieced, appliqued and quilted. The backing is a pretty orange fabric with roly poly pumpkins. Again, I was sad for the quilter who made it since it was sold so cheap, but grateful that I could bring this fall beauty home with me.
So tell me. Do you like rusty, crusty treasures and would you have bought this quilt?

Have a beautiful day, Darlings and thank you for taking time out of your busy day to visit me. 🤗😘
As always...
Happy quilting and stitching, ya'll

BLOGGER ISSUES- I want to apologize again. I am still having issues with Blogger and Comments. It seems like a lot of bloggers are experiencing some difficulties.
Using the fabulous table on your back porch is a great idea. I love everything you've used to decorate it. Mr Pinker is a real prince - he seems to enjoy all your sewing, treasures, etc. Very much like my husband.
ReplyDeleteYes, ma'am I would purchased that quilt either to enjoy it my home or gift it to a friend who would enjoy it in their home. The colors are fabulous!! It has a 70's vibe - I think it's the colors. Groovy, Baby! LOL Take good care - More hugs for you. Darlene J
Lol it is a groovy quilt. Yep the 70's vibe definitely. I do feel very lucky that Mr. Pinker enjoys my endeavors . It sounds like we both found our princes. I was glad to use the table for the season. I wasn't so sure at first, but it was nice to finally put it to use. Have a super day, sweet friend. Hugs from the holler.
