New Stuff!




Maybe I have been overlooking them, but I haven't come across many (affordable) neat old weather vanes. I've been on the hunt for one lately. Of course I could never afford a "true" copper folk art antique weather vane. I was shocked recently to see one appraised for hundreds of thousands of dollars on the Antique Roadshow.

But I'm pretty thrilled with my little weather vane. I think I'll name her "The Black". I love "The Black Stallion" the movie.






I also picked up a couple of green frogs to display postcards and what not.

















I'm rushing through this post because we're going for a swim in the neighbors new pool and my kids are about burst with excitement.

Enjoy your holiday!

    I like "the black" too. Weathervanes are just the perfect accessory.

    The weathervane is fabulous. And, I love the postcards in your flower frogs. I display vintage postcards and photos in mine, too.

    The Black is a fav of mine too. And because my Dad rescued a copper horse weathervane which my sister was tossing from her new abode, my chance came to do something with it. Bought a 4 foot porch post from a friend, painted ASCP red, waxed it dark, then my dear brother drilled the hole to fit the horse proudly on top. Looks just as I imagined

    Came over from Nifty Thrifty to see the weather vane, but actually I love the entire room. So serene and calming!

    Love your weather vane. I know what you mean about the price of the copper ones. I would love a copper horse, but not willing to pay too much for one. Thanks for sharing at Wow.

    P.S. - Could you add a button for Knick of Time to the places you party? Purty please! :0)

    Though our weather vane would not be considered old, 20 years, it is one of the copper ones and sits on a large column in our garden. As I recall, it was around $200. At one time, we had it in our living room. Your Black is great looking in its location but I am sure you will move it around and have great fun with it.
