scavenger hunt Sunday - - -

As far as scavenger hunt weeks go, this has been a good one.  
Oddly inspired, easily amused, I managed to collect my photos in record time.  
But in true form, rarely does my good fortune come without a hitch.  Blogger threw me a curve ball Friday morning with a new posting format/procedures.  I am an old dog.  I get set in my ways.  It's just how I roll! 
 So hopefully this comes to you in one piece.

 
~ yellow ~ 
easy peasy lemon squeezy!



~ something that makes you smile ~


hahahahahahahaha!


no, seriously,
he really does make me smile.



~ ancient or antique ~
*tomato / tomahto* *potato / potahto*


milk glass -
from the days when cool stuff came in the box of detergent.
This would almost make me look forward to doing laundry. Almost!


and then there is the flea market find.
Mom and I each bought one of these (circa 1930) Hall pitchers from the flee market held upstairs during the 1970s at the Hagerstown Mall in Hagerstown, MD. I think we spent $10 a piece or maybe even $10 total. We had no clue who made them, we didn't care, we were just having a good time together and managed to find something we agreed upon (hard to do sometimes between mother and teenage daughter). Over the years we swapped so she could have the green to match her kitchen, and me the blue to match mine. But now they are both displayed together.



~ splash ~

brought to you in stages







oh what the heck!





~ in the sun ~
just as 'everythings better with butter' (Paula Deen ya'all),  
everything looks better in the morning light.

fairly painless, occasionally amusing. See more scavenger hunt posts over at Ashley Sisk's.

  13. Gorgeous shots for this weeks SHS! Love the water shots.

    On a side note...did you know you had your word verification up? It would be awesome if you disabled it. I promise you that blogger does a fantastic job weeding out spammers. The new wv is really annoying and for those of us surfing the web on our iPads it can be a total pain because of auto correct. Just thought I would share. :)

    1. had not idea - the settings were probably changed when Blogger changed to new format. I'll fix that now - thanks for the heads-up.

  17. Wow your set is wonderful. - I too was a bit unnerved by the change to Blogger when I went to post. Us "old dogs" just have to adjust I guess.

    Loved your Milk Glass - I have some glass plates that my mom got from Detergent Boxes that she gave to me. They are really cool.
    Your Makes You smile made me smile, What a sweet looking cat.
    That In the Sun shot with the Spider Web was fabulous!

  21. What gorgeous photos! I love them all!
    A few friends and I go shopping in an antique-y town each December, and one friend bought milk glass glasses with the same pattern, no stem though.
    lovely pitcher. What great memories it holds!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Oh, that spider web is great! As is the last photo in the Splash series. But what I really love is that green pitcher. I grew up with one of those. We made Kool-Aid in it for lunch and iced tea for dinner every single day during the summer. My sister has it now.
