I think I hit the Jackpot....

Ok, so after winning the big PAFA giveaway I thought things couldn't get any better but then I got a phone call.... My brother in law was given access to an old home that is being burned down. He thought my husband and I would like some of the stuff inside. So we went to take a look and we are now the proud owners of 9 or 10 solid old wood doors, a beautiful large wooden door with a paned window on top(love this door) a box full of porcelin doorknobs with the original locks and skeleton key. Old porch railings, old picket fence and so much more... I am not sure what to do with it all but I just couldn't see it all buring in a fire.

so many door knobs

and the doors, there are large ones like this but then there are smaller ones that are about 4 1/2' maybe 5' tall, so cute.

I will have to take pictures of the other door... and all the other goodies.....then everyone can give me suggestions on what to do with all of it.

Have a great weekend

A new giveaway at Colleens Craft Shed

Help please

Hello Blog friends,
I need some help... I need to paint a frame and make it look chippy, does anyone have any ideas or know anyone that might know how to make that happen? I am looking for the frame to look like it has been around for a while with the paint chipping away. When I do my primitive furniture I use a sander to get a worn look but that is not giving me the look I need. SO ANY SUGGESTIONS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED...
Thanks so much, oh and it is sunny and beautiful here in Maine today, I think I can smell spring
