I can never find such good stuff at my GW, sometimes the thrift stores have some great things/prices but never our GW.<br /><br />Love that old chalkboard! That would be pretty expensive if it was at an antique mall. How neat that you have memories of it from when you were a little one. I think it'll look great on your porch.<br /><br />How fortunate for you to get snow! We barely got 2 inches all winter long that was gone that same day. I finally gave up and packed up my snowmen last week. We love a really good snowstorm but didn't get one this year. =[<br /><br />I know you're a busy gal right now. I'm just popping in to catch up. I hope your days and weeks ahead get better.Angie Berry ~ Berry Homespun Primitiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17664447067172311957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3811871420245899947.post-69580015988419450812012-02-15T22:50:25.674-05:002012-02-15T22:50:25.674-05:00I just realized that I rattled on about stuff from...I just realized that I rattled on about stuff from this post in the comments for your last post...I did think on one more thing that you could used for a firkin lid, keep your eyes open for a cheese box that is about the same size and use the lid from that!<br /><br />KendraKendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17479913337592836649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3811871420245899947.post-8889543023898734222012-02-14T14:39:24.602-05:002012-02-14T14:39:24.602-05:00I can never find 100% wool skirts in my Goodwill&#...I can never find 100% wool skirts in my Goodwill's. grrrr...

How special.<br />I would think you could take some type of plywood, and trace the firkin and then cut it out, sand it, and paint it, you could add a knob I am certain. I assume you will be painting the firkin.<br />Floor cloths sound interesting.<br />You are a busy bee!<br />Have a great day!<br />Reneereneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17826574738180604404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3811871420245899947.post-61017694009467917192012-02-11T17:04:27.574-05:002012-02-11T17:04:27.574-05:00Hello Margie, what a nice firkin you found,

All that wool sounds divine...last time I went to Salvation Army I got 10 pieces for $10...some of them jackets...but all wool just the same...skirts are the best though...you really scored.

Just roll up some wool or hooked rugs and stand inside.<br />Here on Ohio's north coast, we got some snow but not nearly as much as predicted which is fine by me. I could also do without the howling wind and blowing snow. I don't mind driving in the weather, but I cancelled my 60 mile road trip. No sense being stupid.<br />Pug hugs :)<br />LaurenRugs and Pugshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17084387971128823025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3811871420245899947.post-90758154906507215212012-02-11T14:23:08.637-05:002012-02-11T14:23:08.637-05:00Wow Margie...you scored some fabulous deals!!
