Moma's Toilet,
never looked to see if it is a one or two seater.
Now for some chairs...
love the chippy pink, orange, red, white, green and weathered...Opal's got them all~big and small...
Goldilocks
would have a hard time picking which chair was just right!
Moma is 85, so she doesn't have as many flowers, as she once did, plus the heat wave has been really hard on everything.
There are more chairs, but lets move on, or we will never get out of here...
First a toilet, now a well!
Believe me, we've barley tapped the well on Moma's junk! American Pickers would stop here for sure!!!
They may not hold water, but I like 'em.
Texas primitive...
very old, tall, original blue table, on her porch

Her cat kept lying on the second stair, killing the flowers. That's what all the bricks were for.
Lol, we both saw this old staircase, downtown, when, sadly, some of our old buildings burned, but she retrieved it, before I could. Early bird gets the worm, and you gotta' get up pretty early to beat that bird! Oh, well, I had just beat her out of a couch and chair at Goodwill.
A little Texas Decor...
Skulls along the fence line;
there were huge sunflowers, too, but the cows ate them. You'd think the skulls would have scared them away!
tomatoes
birdhouses...
Hmm...
Don't forget the bottle trees...
Who me? I didn't sit on no flowers!
Moma collects old buildings, too...

Moma's, "Smidgen Shop"
This was her shop in the 70's,
I've mentioned it before, but
It deserves a post all of its on, so stay tuned!
AND, I haven't even shown you her tiny barn!
The rest will have to wait. See you later Moma!
Don't forget "PRIOR LIVES PARTY"
On the 16th until the end of the month!
Post something that had a prior life, that you use in a different way, now, or a treasure which has the history of Prior Lives to share!
I really love all your cool posts!
Moma's house has since been repainted, but stayed the same blue...

Oh Lezlee, I'm in love with your Moma's place. I'd be in hog heaven walking around there. I especially loved the little chair with the rope seat.
WOW...what fun and neat stuff your Moma has.
Thanks for sharing...
Love the chairs and the porcelain pots...everything! Great pictures!
What a wonderland of things. I saw some great Texas primitives and I love the staircase.
Kinda a stairway to heaven!

I want to come and play at your Moma's house! I would love it there. It reminds me of my great aunt Jewel's house...complete with outhouse that we used way back then. I remember when she got indoor plumbing, and bathing in the galvanized tub. Your moma's house it just wonderful And I love that staircase, and the cat too, of course.
Tell your moma I collect rocks too!And those chairs just blew me away...charming!!!
Got something for the Prior lives party...you can probably guess:-) Hurry with the Smidgen House! Vicki
Moma's outhouse and well are just replicas. Thank goodness for modern conveniences!

Moma's tomatoes look a lot like mine right now. Next summer I'm putting old chairs in my garden for vegies to climb -- how fun!!! Great pictures. Stay cool!!!! Jan
I am in LOVE!!! Wonderful things oh my!! want want want...want...
Lezlee, I love your Moma's place. The blue table and the patina is great! Her cat is cute too. I love all the bricks to keep the cat from laying on her plants. That staircase is nice for all her plants. That early bird, she did get the worm. Good for her. It must have been fun to bring that home. Blessings, sandi
So awesome! I can't even pick a favorite! When I was ten, many moons ago, I visited my great grandma in Oniel, NE. I lived in So. California at the time. She still didn't have indoor plumbing. There was a potty pan upstairs for at night and the outdoor privy during the day. Can't wait to see more!

What a wonderful old property your mom has! I love all of her collections and the way she has displayed them!! A couple of my favorites are the staircase of enamelware pots filled with the white petunias and the blue and white enamelware collection hanging on the side of the building. I LOVE that last picture of her "Smidgen Shop"! Thanks for sharing with us!

She does have the coolest stuff!! I love the old enamel wear and the skulls.
Wow, that is so cool! I love the bird houses.

Oh my goodness--I just love her yard! The chairs and the steps are just so wonderful. Not only do I want to see her other buildings, I want to see her! Will she pose for a picture?!

PS no time for creating lately. going into withdrawal. =(
Oh my gosh, I LOVED this post!!! I laughed at your descriptions so much. And let's just talk about those CHAIRS. Moma has some great chair taste goin' on!

I have one of those ladles....I just painted it red....it's from Home Interior....a company that used to be in Dallas....it went bankrupt a year or 2 ago. Beautiful stuff.
Thanks for becoming a follower of mine! When I saw your chair line up I had to become a follower of yours! I love your "stuff"!!!
What a wonderful tour! So much history, so much charm, so much good stuff!
Love your mama's yard! So many little treasures...can't wait to see the barn.
I have thoroughly enjoyed looking around this garden and yard. It's the sort of thing I like...gardens that evolve over time. My garden and my mother's are similar, although we don't have as much in our collections. And as for those bottle trees, they made me laugh out loud. There is a place in Queesland where I live. It's on the beach and they have a beer tree...the tree is decorated with hundreds of empty beer cans. There is also one down the road a little bit that has a rubber thong tree. Let me explain that in Australia 'thongs' are what you in the USA call flip flops? And I think what you call thongs we in Australia call a 'g string'. Anyhow there are hundreds of lost thongs usually singles hanging on the tree. The owner finds them washed up on the beach or left behind by swimmers.
