Always On The Lookout

I am always on the look out for things I can use to display or cover with stitching projects.

Katy and I went to West's Rangers Station yesterday.

It is an old Forest Rangers Station that sells stuff. 

Can't say they are antiques but, it is stuff.  

I picked up this old wooden bread bowl.  

I have coveted some of the ones I have seen on other blogs.

 I cleaned everything with Murphy's Oil Soap.

Great display for pictures...my washing machine.  LOL

 This is a small cedar box, tourist rememberance from Eagle River, WI.

It's about 4"x6".

Can't you picture a little something on top?

 I think it would be perfect for scissors.  

 I think this must be an old cigar box.  

It is in really good shape. 

 I didn't measure it but, I think it is about 6"x10".

It has a nice flat top, perfect for a stitched piece.  

 I have not had a lot of time to stitch.

The company left on Friday and we went bumming yesterday.

I spent the day doing laundry and cleaning.

The next two weekends may be really busy too.  

The summer has flown by.  

I did finish the socks.

I have been working on Freedom House Button Sampler by Homespun Elegance.  

Hope you had a good weekend and had some stitching time.  

Thanks for the great comments. 

My sister loved the basket.

It was a huge surprise especially, since it was sent in a rather large box. 

Have a wonderful week and 

Keep on Stitching.
