Tools of the Trade

They have held herbs, mixtures and healing powders

 The colors are bold and the pattern beautiful

 These jars are newer but when we went to Salem-Winston, NC we went to old Salem and visited an Apothecary shop

 Now, these bottles are the real thing.  Can you image the healing power that were found through natural herbs?

 Now I am sure that it was hit and miss but in their time they were life savers

 Love these herbs

 The tools of the trade are so awesome

As a nurse it was so cool to see all the tools of the trade.  Di
  

 

Painting Joy

Painting Joy on Metal Lamps

Beautiful plaques from the 60's

And even a chandelier

I even painted these holders

 I did manage not to paint every thing I found!

 And this riding hat...just beautiful

 This old camera is not working but isn't this wonderful

Joining these fun ladies, Di
 

Fathers Day Treats

It's Fathers Day and we just returned from a wonderful vacation

We traveled to the coast and found this mill on the way

 The gears and wheels that make this mill run have a beauty of their own

 I love this gate and the bridge behind it

 This suspension bridge looks inviting

 The inside of the mill was awesome and of course we bought grits and biscuit mix!

We had a fun tour and will be making Shrimp and Grits

Hope your fathers day is full of fun, we will be spending the afternoon with our grandboys.
