Cloche, Clocks, Pumpkins


I have been fiddling with my two white pumpkins.
I have sold the remaining stash of fall items.
The orange has left the building.

Joe and I picked up this cloche with some gift cards we had.
You know I needed another cloche.

Forgive my blurry images please.
 It began raining the very minute I started taking
photos.



 This may be my only nod to fall. 
However I am into vintage clocks. 
Now I have those two under the glass.
You know I need a few more.

The creamer is part of my collection of Old Britain Castles transferware.
I have collected twenty pieces thus far.
 I found two pieces last weekend.

Do you "get" the thrill of the hunt?

Tell me what you are hunting for.


CC has written a second post on her South Korean Journey Blog. 
She, Joe, and I enjoyed your comments on her first post.
I placed a link to her blog on my sidebar.

Gremmie Takes The Island



The kitchen island has been taken over by The Grim. 



It's hard to think of potato salad in this bowl from this point on.


Gremmie is a mess.
 She is into everything and keeps us entertained. 
No surface, newspaper, or bowl is safe from her.





In Olive Out news I am recovering from a minor surgery done on Friday, in the doctors office, to my ear. I was deaf all weekend in that ear but the packing is out today and I no longer feel like I am underwater. I am definitely ready for an uneventful fall.

happy fall y'all

Primitives and More


Happy Monday my friends.

Isn't this a great tower of primitive crates? 
It is in Bob's booth in Ridge Antiques.
He is one of the owners.


I love this beautiful religious piece.
 I have a similar one, at my house, that I cannot let go of.
Yes, I am a terrible seller.


A marvelous urn. 
I think this is Jimmy's.
 It is hard to keep up with all their booths.
 The three of them have a lot of space in these two joined buildings. 
They also have a lot of knowledge about antiques.



Mary Ann has quite the collection of flow blue in this magnificent corner cabinet.



These tear drop knobs are something serious on this chest.


The image is blurry but I love this piece that Mary Ann has in the kitchen area.


Mary Ann has a great flair for primitives.
 All you rooster lovers look at these old rooster dishes. 
She has an enormous set. 
I am eyeing that chippy red toolbox in the center of the farm table.


I hope you enjoyed Jimmy's, Mary Ann's and Bob's booths. 
They own and/or manage Ridge Antiques. 
They are lovely people and I am honored to work with them and Beth.

Ridge Antiques
605 Main St.
Ridge Spring, South Carolina

An easy way to remember how to find us is we are by The Nut House (woot)
 on Highway 23.

CC has written her first blog about South Korea here.
 I have told her to turn off word verification.

Gallery Wall




 Adjusting the gallery wall oil paintings, prints, and frames has been
 an off and on summer passion. 
Not that I measure. 
Joe would use a level and a ruler. 


Every picture or painting is a thrifty find save for the central white matted one.
 The Talented B and I found the alabaster lamp in a junk shop. 
I had no cash and she sweetly paid for it. 
It is a good idea to have cash on you while thrifting. 





I have a more-is-more-style. 


I am not finished with the gallery wall or corner.
 It has gaps.
 I would like a pair of small oil paintings inside the vintage rectangular frame. 
 I am always looking for old oval frames.



 This is the other side of the corner and it needs more something.
That is CC at age three.

In Olive Out news I am doing fine after the procedure yesterday.
 I am staying in the house and being entertained by Gremmie and Shelley. 
Thank you, my peeps, for your comments and emails.
