Some projects for the Pea

This is a table I just finished painting a lovely black. I am so pleased at how it finished out. I have one of the chairs to the set below.



How do you like this sweet blue baby doll buggy? What little girl would not want to have one for her favorite doll? Grandma please buy this one for me......your loving Grandchild....



This is a project chair, I have four of them and I will be painting them black to go with the table above. I am not sure yet what I will do with the seats, I have to think about that.....



One more project, a bunny cage, I am going to make it a cute little home for my doves. I will post pictures when I am finished. Thank you friend Anita, I needed one more project.......



Another friend Sweet Janice, she will be having a 85th Birthday in a few days. Gave this old piece to me, her dad used it in his garage for years as a work station. It came out of the old market on Main Street here in Escalon many, many years ago. He owned the barber shop next door to the market. I just amazes me that I can still find these old treasures in someones garage or barn in my own town. I will have to take some more pictures when it is in the store. It completely feel apart when I took it home from her house.....Lucky I have a nice husband !!!

A Baby Shower for the New Grandchild

Rachelle with a cute little sweater for the little guy, soon to arrive in March. He will be the first child for Scott and Rachelle.


Here is my first grandchild Madison. She made this cute little puppy for her new cousin. The shower was so much fun and it was nice to meet so many of Rachelle's friends. This little baby received so many sweet gifts. He even has a baby camping tent..... wow!

Little Zack and Rusty Treasures

This is our new little fella Zack. He is enjoying meeting all of the family. The chickens, cats, dogs, sheep and many more friends. Mom said, "you need to get along or you can't be part of this family. So far so good, I seem to be getting along just fine.



Hey! do you see that Barney is sticking his tongue out at me? He thinks he is so smart sitting in the truck with all of the rusty treasures.........



Soon these will be in The Green Pea I am getting ready for Spring already. See the great Motel lawn chairs. Just look at the old wheelbarrow, it would be great to plant your flowers or herbs in.



Oh look! a old chippy screen door, iron beds, ironwork trim. Mr. Husband will be real happy to see all this go to the store. I wonder why he built a tall fence around my treasures?



I must have really liked this pile of .........you know, treasures. I had to show the picture twice.

Rusty Treasures

A Peek in the Pea

When ever I see old luggage for sale I usually buy it. My husband always asks me what are you going to do with another suitcase? I own about 45 of them right now, they are in the basement. I love to store my linens in them. I just selected six of them to sell. It is difficult to let any of them go. I love them all......

This is a very old school desk with a drawer under the set. It is solid oak and soooo heavy, I have not seen one like this before.

Just found this lovely black wire birdcage. We used a white one at my son's wedding to put the wedding cards in. It looked very nice on the gift table.

A Party at The Green Pea

This is my dear friend Terry. She offered to help set the tables for our Family Christmas Party. She called it playing and came to the store four days and played all by herself. Thank you, my very special friend. I would have never have made it without your help.... The store was very busy and I helped the customers while Terry puttered around the tables always with a lovely smile. She even gave me a hand when I got to busy with customers.

Terry used three sets of different white dishes that I had. She mixed and matched them using green and white dish towels as napkins on a burlap table cloth. There was three long tables with 30 place settings, it was beautiful. I wish I had taken more pictures.


Here are a few of my wonderful sister in-laws chatting with each other. It was a happy and cheerful evening for all. Outside there were hundreds of parents with their children watching the Santa Parade on Main Street. After the parade was over the children roasted marshmallows and had hot chocolate into the evening. We could see them in the park across for the store. Seems as we were all having a good time. Talk about festive!

A couple more sisters. They made a joke to me about ordering The Santa Parade for the Christmas dinner. I told them, Oh! it was nothing just some of my friends that wanted to help make the evening fun.....
