Vintage Collectibles At The Little Shed

Little Shed


Good Morning ya'll! Here's what I should be drinking my coffee in this morning. This little Bugs Bunny cup reminds me of Saturday mornings as a kid!  We would watch Bugs Bunny and Road Runner all morning.  




I love the patterns in this Creamer and Sugar Bowl. Reminds me of the crystals in ice. It's beautiful how the light shimmers off the glass. 

Milk Glass Pedestal Creamer Orange Blossom
This sweet little creamer looks ready to be filled and set on the table.  It reminds me of going to my great granny's house where she would always fix us a cup of coffee, mostly creamer and a little bit of coffee.

                                    Milk Glass Spice Jars
Finally, here's a spice rack full of little Milk Glass bottles. I love using fresh herbs when I cook.  I have many spice jars that fill up my cabinets.  I grow many of my own herbs.  I love being able to go out and pick what I need to use for a meal.   I also like to harvest a batch then prepare them by dehydrating them. I store them so that I never run out.

During the winter or cold months I like to move some of my herbs inside and a planter like this is perfect,  It's rectangular shape makes it easy to sit in a window sil, also allows good spacing.

Merry Christmas!  This morning started out with Christmas morning breakfast at my daughter, Jessica's house.
 
Where I got to see my son, Trent and meet his beautiful girlfriend, Valerie!  I have to say I fell in love with her immediately and an answer to many prayers!

 






Here's my daughter, Jessica profiling her baby bump!  She's just glowing.

Then it was off to see the rest of the grand kids!  
  Such a wonderful day!

Strawberry Peppermint Sugar Scrub

Today, I thought I would experiment a little and make up a Strawberry Peppermint Sugar Scrub. It's 100% all-natural, you could even eat it. You can use it on your hands, feet, arms, legs or wherever you like!  Just scoop out a small amount and apply in a circular motion, it will help remove dead skin cells, revealing glowing skin that smells sweet, fresh and not to mention scrumptious.

Visit me at Facebook.com/totallynaturalu/ for this and other Essential Oil Information and Recipes!

What's going on at The Little Shed Today?

I'm making Homemade Lotion Bars!  And yes, I must say, they are amazing!  I've had so many requests for these that I decided to place them in my store.  I have a few scents on hand, but I can customize these based on requests!  Or if you need them for a special purpose, just ask.  the one pictured is the Frankincense and Myrrh Bar. it actually has Lavender added too, all of which are great for the skin. If you'd like to order these you can go to my Etsy store to order. Here's the link- Lotion Bars


I love using different shaped molds for these.  I found some beautiful rose shaped molds on line and as soon as they come in I will make up a new batch. I get my molds on Amazon or EBay, Here's a link for the Rose Molds I like.  Rose Molds 

Hello!

We are busy, busy, busy At The Little Shed.  From working a full-time job as a Respiratory Therapist and Young Living Distributor and owning our own online business we stay very busy. 

I have a passion for Vintage. I grew up in the 60's and 70's and I love things that remind me of that time period.  I collect vintage items, most of them I keep, LOL! But I also sell some of them on my ETSY store and EBAY store (click on either to visit my stores). I also love old cars and we have several you may see me post about. I also like to sew and craft and garden.

I am also a Wellness Educator.  I am 53 years old, a wife, a mother and Nene.  My health and the health of my family and friends is very important to me.  So I work hard trying to live a natural, toxin free lifestyle and Young Living has helped me tremendously! You can visit my Young Living site (click on link) to see the amazing products Young Living has.  Contact me and I will share how to get a discount on all YL products.
