Took a day trip today and found some great finds!

Hi my Prims,

Mr. Hillcrest and I took off for the day for a day trip and found some great finds that we could not pass up. We are really enjoying decroating our homestead with alot of antiques!

Here is some things that we did get today...

What a beauty and we could not pass this up the price was to good so it has a new home here behind Hillcrest Homestead!

This was a cool antique item. It is a cabbage slicer, can you believe that. It is also a slicer for alot of other things like vegetables and fruits!!!

I wanted to show you how this box moves back and forth and here is the third picture..

We just found this a cool item. The gentlemen that sold us this told us the story behind it. It was in a barn that he and his wife bought many years ago and they did alot of research on this and that is how they found out about this slicer. The family that lived there ran a farm and it went down to each son and then the last son sold it and everything in the barn and now the slicer it has a new home and will be sent down from generation to generation in our family.
I also bought a very old coverlet with holes in it and everthing and I just fell in love with it, his wife found this also in the barn as well and had in their farmhouse until she passed and she just adored it and when he saw how excited I was about it he gave it to us for a great deal because he said he could tell it was going to a great home. Here is a picture of it...

Here is a close up picture of the print and the color of it..

I am honored to have a piece of history and that I will be able to preserve it for years to come.

Here is a small different kind of crock that we really liked and now we have to find a home for it, I am sure that will not be hard to do.

Here is another blue jar for our collection and we LOVE it!!

Here is some old baby shoes that I have been wanting very bad, but I have been very picky about the pair I wanted and when I saw this pair today I knew this was the pair for my new collection.

Another view.

So now I want to show you what I did with the table I bought and we decided to keep it wood and NOT paint it!!!
Here is a couple of pictures of it..

So there you go. I will be tweaking here and there all week but that is the fun of it!

I also want to let you know that Tammy at The Primitive Place is doing another really fun swap to join. I joined it and I wanted to let you all know to go to her blog and check it out. Tammy ALWAYS  does alot of fun things for us gals and I know I really enjoy them. Also the "GIFT JUST BECAUSE" the bonnet she sent me I posted that she made it she didn't it is an OLD VINTAGE BONNET, I am a very lucky girl to have such a great treasure and Tammy's friendship!

I hope you all have a great night and week and please be kind to each other.
Prim Blessings,
