Because......
Decorating is endless.
Cooking never ends.
Gardens are always changing.
And best of all shopping goes on and on!

Hence the name,

Fun Finds!

~As I have said before~

"Only buy what you LOVE!"

The only problem with this theory 
is that I have started to accumulate things that I LOVE
with no real spot for them to go!

Here are just a few of the treasures that I just LOVED!


Loved this old gate.
May put a little white paint on it and leave it out for the winter.
That way it will be chippy white next spring 
and maybe I will find the perfect spot for it.




Loved this fun wooden crate with the canvas handles.
It also has little casters on the bottom. So it rolls around easily!


Cute decorative ceiling tile. They don't make them like this anymore!



~Sweet little white cabinet~


This is a porcelain cup and soap holder.
I just love the cube of french soap!




And I just had to have this old pillar.
It makes me wonder where it came from.
What did the house look like that it once supported?



Would love to hear any suggestion that you might have 
on what to do with these little treasures!


Can you believe it's November already!
~Happy Monday Everyone~

  1. I'd love to go shopping with you anytime. Seems we have the same taste! Love all these treasures. The rolling cart is a great find. It would be fantastic in a laundry room. I can just see sweet peas growing up the garden gate. Not sure what size the ceiling tile is, but I would drill holes in it, add hooks, and use it on the wall to hang our growing collection of keys. Thanks for sharing!

  2. We love the same sort of things, Cindy!

    I have that very gate. It is on the back porch fireplace. We are preparing that fireplace for fall and winter fires. When finished I am going to hang a wreath or basket on the gate. May even do something for Christmas in the basket...then it will be ready for the season.
