Are you sick of me showing all of the wonderful things I found (and got to keep) from my grandparent’s attic? Well, I’m not, so here are some more lovelies… Isn’t this vintage Christmas ornament so cute? I love how the little bird is peeking out of her tinsel net. We found about 10 intact vintage glass ornaments.

I typically post my previews a few days ahead of an original art sale, but May has been so busy that this sale snuck up
Before I share my Lucketts recap, I wanted to let you know my next original art sale is Wednesday, May 20, 20206, at 1:00 pm Eastern. For those interested in early access at noon, you can sign up HERE. On Thursday night, we packed our van with oil painting supplies,
I’ve reached that tipping point in my life where I feel like I probably have enough stuff. No doubt, I passed that point years ago, but hunting for antiques and just the right piece for my house is still so much fun! I have noticed I walk out of more

Very touching. Thank you for taking the time to share all of your wonderful treasures. The two of you remind me of my mother and me. Glad you enjoy your time together. Very special.
Please keep sharing your finds. I love it. The little ornament is so precious and so are the other items. But, what I really love is the photos of your grandmothers.They are just priceless and look like lovely vintage paintings. What keepsakes!
What a heritage to leave to your own children. I don't have any relative's attics to look in so I enjoy looking at what you've found in yours.
Hey, after all the work you did to clear out that attic, you deserve every wonderful thing you find! Of course we're still jealous, but that's our problem. ;o) You come from a family of lovely women.
How wonderful all these treasures are…I have quite a lot of "stuff" in MY attic that I hope some grands will enjoy…also a closet with boxed treasures for them.
Your g-grandmother was beautiful !!
When you have time, you should start working on a post of all your DIY projects throughout 2009..and join Southern Hospitality's PROJECTS OF 2009….you should have a TON of them!!
hugs, bj
The ornament is so adorable and a tub of vintage jewelry , oh be still my heart ! You have a lot of treasures and it is not only fun to share but also for others to view ! Your grandmothers photo is so dear !

what treasures you found, especially the family pictures
These are wonderful! Tired of seeing them? Never! I love everything you've showed us. So much history here from the books to the letters to your family's pictures. The pictures are fantastic. I think I would definitely frame those up myself.
absolutely stunning photos!!!
I'll never get sick of your attic finds…absolute treasures! You are very very lucky!
Merry Everything!
I've really been enjoying all of your attic finds. The photos are especially wonderful. You are so lucky to have so much family heritage. Please keep sharing.

What amazing treasures! I love anything with family history.
What a treat this little adventure must have been! And to share it with your mother. Cherished time.
The attic finds are so interesting. I have enjoyed seeing all of the treasures you found. The family photos are priceless!! The best treasure of all.

please keep sharing. Things I have been given of my grandmothers are among my post treasure items. A vintage grandmother's garden quilt, vintage purses, some vintage jewelry, some old little music books, and a 5 gallon pickle quart and a little ceramic egg jar that they used to beat eggs in. Divine. I adore the vintage ornament the most… and the scrabble letters.
Thanks for sharing!
and your great mother was beautiful!
oops what I meant was {most treasured} not post treasure! typo! 🙂
What a beautiful post. I'm so enjoying them all! Not tired of them at all but perhaps a little bit jealous! 🙂
i'm so jealous.
i am positive that if i got to clean out my grandparents attic, all i would find is polyester dresses and moth-eaten quilts.
i love seeing all of the treasures you found…
These posts are sooo amazing, WOW.
What a great post. Your G-Grandmother was very beautiful! My Grandmother still did her own work well into her 80's. I think that generation just worked so hard all their lives, that it kept them going!
I really hope that there are tons of things to show us….I love it all..smiles.
I think one could build an entire blog simply on things they find in attics! I'm spellbound with what you're surfacing.
Sick of it? Never! I hope you have more to share. 🙂

What a FIND! Treasures!
Girl, don't be ridonkulous, of course I'm not tired of seeing your treasures!
I love that you say your great-grandmother mowed her lawn into her 70s! I can see her feistiness in you!
Hugs,
Anne
Ohhh such lovely and meaningful finds! I just love the photo of your great grandma with her mother. It reminds me of a John Singer Sargent painting… wow… Dee dee
Hey Miss M,
I've got the little car that rides on that wooden tractor trailer in case you want it. You and your brother used to play with it in Germany. It came from a toy store in Weiden, Germany near the Czech border about 1976.

This is all so precious, I love the photographs especially, thanks for sharing!
What beautiful finds and photos!
Every time I see other people's old photos I can't help but think all of my old family shots makes us look like a bunch of outlaws! Haha!
Those pictures are in such good shape and amazing. Lucky you!
What great attic finds! I love hearing the story of each of your treasures! I'm going to start following your blog so I don't miss anything! Happy Holidays! ~Lisa
Keep posting all of your finds. I just love looking at them!
Thank you so much for sharing this journey with us all… I am loving all your wonderful finds… I am a real sentimental person and can't imagine what I would have done if it was me in that attic… beautiful pics of your family also… Your GG was absolutely stunning.
Keep them coming please… I can't wait to see what treasure you post next.
