More Loot from Sunday's Shopping

When I walked out to the backyard yesterday, I was delighted to see that the peonies were blooming.

I have the ordinary pink kind, AND I have PRETTY white ones with a splash of red.






At Sunday's Wisconsin farm Estate Sale I also found a stash of clock parts




Lots of gears of different sizes.




And several vintage clock faces.







I may make something out of the parts, but more likely I will sell them to other people for their projects.

  3. Peonies...they are such a memory link for me. I grew up in Western Ks and it seems that at one time it was popular to plant them at cemeteries. In Kansas they are care free and keep blooming long after the farmhouse has fallen down.

    They were always in full bloom when we went to the cemetery for Memorial Day services.

    I remember seeing tiny old stones that were falling into the holes in the ground absolutely dwarfed and covered by huge peony bushes.

    I really like the clock parts especially the square one...

  6. At the Round Top Antiques Festival last Fall, one of the sellers had several antique clock faces that he turned into clocks. I wish I had the $$$ to have bought one...since I didn't, I'm now on the hunt to find a face to turn into a clock! Looks like you're well on the way there in making one for yourself!

  7. You have a way of making the most ordinary things look beautiful. How do you keep the ants off the peonies. I always want to bring mine indoors, they are so gorgeous...but the ants never go away!
