As to the thrifty challenge...you'd go nuts in my house; it's a 107 year old farmhouse that has a lot of stuff that's almost as old and in daily use. My cook stove is a 1914 Acorn and still going strong. I came to your blog via the cute garland tutorial. I'm putting together something similar and really enjoyed seeing yours.Thistle Cove Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722295191884810953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698879802773566105.post-83271482150449557992009-11-01T20:04:42.780-08:002009-11-01T20:04:42.780-08:00FANTASTIC.

Of all the different breeds I tried raising, they were always sturdy, plump, and sweet.I also love Barred Rocks. You make me miss homesteading, now that I'm in city limits, no chicks. Your photos are such a delight.

They can't photograph their mum but they can take beautiful portraits of a spaniel. There is probably a message in there somewhere...<br /><br />I realised early on that the challenge was going to actually cost me money, not save it, unless I forced myself to accept that it wasn't an excuse to buy anything and everything second hand that I fancied!

I have had watermelon hair in the past, but just the scent, nothing more. My hair doesn't seem to do much of anything....<br /><br />Your chicken - is much more self respecting than my chickens. My chickens spend their days rolling around in the dirt (burrowing into it in fact) & look like it. They are scraggley, rough looking things (& I love them), unlike your pristine speciman! I could also never convince one to pose with me for a photo or seven....<br /><br />Thrift addiction - It is only going to get worse. Trust me. I know.<br /><br />Yello enamel pots - I have one exactly the same...! Ah... well, no, that is an untruth, I HAD one quite similar, only it had the addition of a folky flower print on one side - I used it & loved it a lot, until one day both the handle fell off & noodles baked onto the bottom (left a rather interesting pattern which I would have admired had I not been quite devestated). Punky now uses it outside to make dirt soup.<br /><br />Your boots - I want them.<br /><br />The end. :)Vichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00036114016276478304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698879802773566105.post-13234255855202138602009-10-29T14:32:42.101-07:002009-10-29T14:32:42.101-07:00I have a yellow enamel teapot which was the first ...I have a yellow enamel teapot which was the first thing that I ever bought in a boot fair. It sits on my kitchen shelf looking fetching, but I think brewing tea in it might pose a risk to health. It used to be a reliable source of small change for car park and school lunch money, but unfortunately now whenever I look it is empty, which is rather disappointing.<br /><br />Pomona xPomonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18399181139470676975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698879802773566105.post-75671117568865859262009-10-29T14:29:06.779-07:002009-10-29T14:29:06.779-07:00addicted thrifter, ha! join the club. you're s...addicted thrifter, ha! join the club. you're singing the story of my life. *laughs* The title of my last three blog posts?
