~Barn Sale~

I was on the computer this morning and decided to go to the site that lists garage sales in the area, when I came across this barn sale a couple miles from where we live, actually out close to where we got Buster:) I only bought three things which came to $10.50! Stush had went on ahead of me so when I came to this old plow (I've been looking for one forever!) I noticed the tag said $10.00 and right when I was going to call to Stush the guy said "that's been sold"! I was so disappointed but just went on to look around. When we went to leave I said to Stush "look, but it's been sold" and he said " I know I bought it." What a guy, huh? Just love him for loving me.:)
We put it out at the end of the driveway, what a relief that he wanted to put it right where I had it in mind. I put things from around the house there just to fill it in for now.

I can just see this decorated for fall...bale of hay, bittersweet sign and pumpkins!

I found this little crock for .25 the lid had been broke at one time but for that amount I didn't care, I guess it gives it character:)


Also this old bottlebrush tree for .25... I do collect these!




On our way home we stopped at the farm where we had got Buster, we had him with us but
Buster didn't seem to happy about it. No, that isn't Buster that's his dad...his mom is the black one in the backround she groweled at him.lol They aren't humans, I don't know what I expected...hugs, kisses but I swear the dad knew, he had such a tender look on his face like he just knew that was his son.
I hope your having a great Saturday!!!

  1. Rondell, that husband of yours is such a sweetheart for buying the plow. You must have been grinning from ear to ear! I hope you gave him a big hug! :)
    I know you'll have tons of fun decorating it for the seasons. What a great find!
    I hope Buster's okay with his Mom growling at him! Poor guy.

  6. What a great surprise to find out the plow was sold to your DH! It looks great :)

    My kids do not believe me when I tell them animals don't have bonds with their families like us humans. They think our cat misses her mother and father and brothers. I tell them constantly that she couldn't care less! LOL When Shane was little and we would see like a doe and her fawn, he would wonder where it's Dad was. Why wasn't it there with his family? Or if he saw a photo of a bigger animal and a baby, he would say it was the Dad and baby! LOL He LOVES his Daddy and just couldn't imagine that animals or even humans have Daddy's that don't stay around....

    Have a great weekend!

  11. Girl! I LOVE the plow! I picked up a set of wagon wheels at an auction like that a few months ago! I had been wanting something like that forever and finally run across them! My husband and I have the same taste too and it makes looking for finds a lot easier. We usually "divide and conquer!"

    Aww the dogs were too cute. I bet on some level the daddy knew then. Pets have such cute personalities! So glad I found you, I haven't been the best with keeping up in blog land!

  13. Oh Rondell, I just love that story about you and your husband. It is a blessing to be married to a kindred spirit, isn't it?

    And that plow ... what an unbelievable deal! Hurray! I can't wait to see it surrounded with all the trimming of autumn. What fun!

    Smiles,

  24. LOVE the plow!!!!!! What a find! Can't believe you have a Buster, too. My buster is chocolate, and I don't think he'd like going back to where I got him! There were a few times I thought about taking him back there and just dropping him off over the fence!!!!!! But . . . he's here to stay!

    So glad you found that sale!!!!

  26. Love the plow and the little tree! Your story reminded me of an auction where my aunt was bidding on something, and her daughter was bidding on it too so she could give it to her mom, not realizing who the other bidder was!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog. One thing we don't have around here is barn sales!
