One of my many cloche's with a Cobalt blue depression glass creamer with some on my olden silver ware in it.... 
I love the Chevron pattern on this creamer...Oh yes another collection I have is Depression glass...lots of pink and green...but the blue is the hardest to find...
One of my gum ball machines...This one is from ca. 1900 and a few of my Planters Peanut jars...These I use for storage love them and there peanut shaped handle...
A De Laval Cream separator cabinet from ca. 1910 the front is all tin and it also shows you what a cream separator looked like...I also have the cream separator to match it...I use to have it out on my front porch and one time I raised chickens ( ostrich's, and Emus ) here and I had a hen that layed her eggs inside the bowl....Every time I would go out my front door she would have a fit with me...she hatched 5 little chicks and one night about 2 AM I heard her having a fit outside...well all her chicks had gotten out of the bowl and she was busy trying to gather them all up...I got a paper bag and caught them all put them back in the bowl and mama hen was happy and so was I as I got to go back to sleep ha ha!! 
I have a few of my Olden cook books on it and a fruit jar turned lamp...See I even have the old tin sign to match it....
My old Blacksmith bellows turned coffee table in my family room...another one of my favorite pieces of furniture....The legs came off of an old dining room table
Another coffee table with a flower arrangement I made last week with Golden hydrangeas...Hope you enjoyed some of my random shots of my olden stuff...I am hooking up with Marty at a " Stroll Thur life" Please take the time to go by and see this sweet Lady and all the others that have taken time to be apart of her Party....Thanks Marty for being the wonderful hostess you are..ps...guys I will be in Reno for 2 days while Len gets his check up from his heart doctor so hope to get back to you all then....Thank you so much for taking the time to come by and see me...You guys really do complete me!!!
Until next time from my mountain to yours,
Hugs and Smiles Gl♥ria

Hello Gloria,
Love your vignettes! I have the same American Woman's Cookbook as you do on your De Laval Cream separator. Love the story about your chicken and her little chicks!
My thoughts and prayers will be with you and Len.

I always love seeing your vignettes, Gloria! And I always feel like I learn something when I read your posts. But you raised emus??? How neat! Ostriches would have scared me... were they mean? My father used to say they could kick you and disembowel you, so I was terrified of the ones at the zoo, fearing they would get loose. LOL! Emus were just cute.
I hope Len gets a good report, and I hope you have time for some fun on your trip, Gloria!

"Hamm's Beer" are you kidding? What could make you happier than a pig in mud! Love your goodies-have a happy day!
Hi Gloria!
I always enjoy seeing your beautiful home and all your collections. It's so fun to see all the things you collect. Have a great time in Reno! I hope Len's checkup goes well. Take care, friend!!

Hi Gloria,
Loved all your vignetts, but the one that caught my eye was the cloche with the blue. Very clever the way you used the bellows for a coffe table. Great ideal. Thanks for sharing. My prayers are with Len.

Gloria, you have the best stuff! What a cute sign. I can just imagine you running around catching little chicks! I really love that blue glass. Wow. I hope Len is going to be okay.
I am amazed with your collections. Love the story about the chicks getting out of their nest! :D You truly have a museum in your home! I really enjoy seeing all your antique/vintage pieces. Love the blue creamer!

Oh Miss Gloria! Your collections are the best!!! I love you cobalt creamer. I know how hard the blue is to find. I want a vintage gumball machine! Where on earth do you find all these treasures?
Thanks for the kind comments on my little crap...I mean craft room. That's what hubby says anyway.:)
Have a great week!
~Liz
Hey there MIss Gloria!
GIRL!
Is your house like - a bazillion square feet?
I swear - every other day we get another tour of another little spot in your house. You are like the energizer bunny - it just keeps going and going! You have the most beautiful things! I am just amazed! When I opened this post, the first thing that jumped out was the OH-OH-OH so pretty blue and white dishes! sigh. And the blue and white rolling pin! Oh my!
And you turned a blacksmith bellows into a coffee table! How did you think of that?
And then to top it all off - your pretty golden hydrangeas. I love the little birds in front of it too.
Thanks another wonderful tour.
Where are we going next?
Hope it is cool and beautiful on top of your mountain! And hope both of you are feeling wonderful again!
Big hugs! Karen
I always love seeing your stuff! I just watched the BBC's 1900 House and they had the hardest time finding all the right things to furnish the home and I thought of you!
Manuela
Greetings, Gloria! Another "Gloria" here!! I haven't visited you in a while, and I enjoyed my time with your post today. May I say that I especially LOVE the arrangement you made last week of the hydrangeas -- GORGEOUS! And I love the beautiful container you arranged them in! Thanks for sharing and take care.
Best regards,
Gloria
Hi Gloria, lovely vignettes. I always love your antiques and sometimes I see something like yours in an antique store. I always say that is like Gloria's and one day Ron, my hubby, said 'who is Gloria?' Well, I proceeded to tell him all about you.
Sending you hugs this day and all of God's blessings!
Barb ♥
Oh my gosh you have the greatest stuff ever, the old signs, love them and the depression glass, I have such a weakness for that, the blue is hard to find, I am sure you gotta know what you are lookin for, my mom always did love the depression glass, I adore the pink, please please please show us some of your pink and green and yellow colors, I am feeling faint..what can *I say, you never fail to entertain me in all aspects, such great pictures...thanks again Gloria for posting....please excuse the poor typing, this darned carpel tunnel...thanks again sis take care,Phyllis
Howdy! You sound good!! At least stronger and that is promising!
How on earth did you ever manage to collect so much stuff? You must have an absolute fortune in antiques and collectables in that house! Fantastic home!! I love brousing and peeking at closeups of your gorgeous things!!
I stuggle to keep up constantly.
I think last year sort of knocked the soup out of me for the remainder. I never did pop back completely. I hope you do!!
I see there is a new thing going on..but I haven't got the creativeness to get on the band wagon. A Sorority of sorts. Kinda cute but I haven't got the talent for it, I'm afraid. Justt too much to keep up with for me. I'll go peek now and then though. Have you seen it?
I have an enormous family and it's been busy with summer starting and activities gearing up!
Gloria...I hope you get down this way some day! That would such a kick!
Ok..I think I am off to bed. Hugs to you dear friend!
