It is a beautiful day on the porch but the shadows are long and fall is in the air. while I love fall I do not like what follows:( Ok on to the finds for the week. these I got at the dump of course free! someone thought I had a store near by called the dump. I think that might be a good name for a store and all things come from the dump. Both books have condition issues the garden verse the binding is coming lose and the green umbrella has some water stains but both are still good.
The art work in the green umbrella is so cute. This is a bed full of sick babies oh my!
So if you have sick babies you have a lot of wash.
the other book the artwork is pretty but all black and white and some of it was so light hard to really see.
At the homeless thrift I found a flower frog. It is brass and a bit larger than my hand. I filled him full of water and.........
flowers and put him by our pond. The greens we got from my brother in law who is becoming the pond expert. We also have seen real frogs in our pond so I bet we hear some croaking soon.
At the other thrift I found these pattern leather shoes I know they look a bit like tap shoes but I really like them for some reason. I think it will dress up jeans so I can feel comfortable wearing them to work. a nice button down blouse and I am good to tap off to work.
We are off to get good news on Thur and Boston the week after. My brother is coming from Mississippi next week I haven't seen him in a couple of years so it will be nice to visit.
I hope you are all having a great day.

Those are really good finds.
My favorite are the books, of course!
You did very, very well. Love the illustrations in those old books. Such innocence!
Funny about calling a store "the dump". Up here in Parry Sound, a lot of the guys call our dump "the mall".
I guess everyone appreciates the value of a great treasure.

Good news ~ that's GREAT!!!
Pug hugs :)

Those books are so neat!
Just love your dump finds...especially the frog. Our neighbors have a backyard pond and you should hear the bull frogs at night. Scary sometimes.
You find the greatest stuff at the dump. I love that Garden of Verses book. I grew up on that book of poetry and used to recite "I Had a Little Shadow" by heart!
Love the shoes! They are so vintage. And the flower frog...well, I am a flower frog and frog collector...so...he's the best!
Good luck tomorrow on news. Praying for all good things!
Hugs!
Love the" Frog frog"..such a unique piece!
Wish we had a dump like yours Cathy! Our local 'tip' has only recently offered things for sale - once your rubbish enter their premises it belongs to the Council and if you were caught taking anything away you're in for trouble:o( I've seen wonderous things in the large skips (dumpsters) awaiting landfil never to be seen again.
The books are glorious, and the woman with the washing picture is just gorgeous!
As you know I love frogs, your new find is delightful, and so pretty with the flowers :o)
The shoes lok like there are straight from the 'roaring twenties' no wonder you like them so much.
So pleased you're off to get 'GOOD NEWS' :o) :o)
It'll be great to catch up with your brother,I see mine every couple of months or so and I know how lovely it is to enjoy his company.
Best wishes for much continued 'good news'. Have a lovely week!
