More Ironstone! And A Special Treasure!

Last week I celebrated a little Birthday!

My Sister and I spent the day at our favorite Antique Mall!


I could not pass this up!!! 


Seriously, the chicks are salt and pepper shakers!!


And of course I added some more Ironstone!

Is is me... or does it seem Ironstone is getting more expensive.......?

I found one these bowls!! 
A little one, to add to my collection!


And the best find of the whole day!!!!!

TAAAA DAAAAAA


A RAT TRAP!!!!!!


Look how big this sucker is!!!

We spotted it at the same time and my Sister had to give it up
because it was MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!


Doesn't the Rat Trap look just precious 
next to my Ironstone!


I think it fits in just perfect..........




Oh and I ordered my Chalk Paint on Friday at 2:30 


And it was delivered 
SATURDAY at 9:00 am!!!


How sweet is that!!!

I got the starter kit so I could get the book too.

This so awesome having a Chalk Paint dealer right here in Colorado!!

Here is Amber and Brads Blog,

    The rat trap actually coordinates very well with your other treasures. It has a nice rustic look.

    Yes!! Ironstone is getting more expensive...and harder to find! It seems like every antique store used to have at least a few ironstone pitchers but now you can visit a dozen stores and hardly see all. Your collection is great. And your rat trap...such a quirky, fun thing to display! Love it!

    If I had put a rat trap in my cabinet and my grandma had seen it she would be very chocked. ROFL:D
    i like it though. The patina. One xmas I put a ladder with driftwood patina next to the xmas tree and she totaly went selfspinning over that. LOL:D
    Ironstone is very sought after here as well. I managed to find a big bowl. The lady in the shop told me it was orginally two but the first buyer did not want the chipped one. Bad for her very good for me she left it because it makes it even moore beautiful in my eyes.:)
    Have a wonderful day my friend.

    Not so crazy about the rat trap, I gotta admit.

    But I love your cubbards, they look like they are built ins. Really awesome.

    LOVE your deviled egg dish, that is just WAY too cute! And, of course, Ironstone.. there's nothing better than Ironstone.

    Great treasures, I must say that I would have let my sister keep the rat trap. Have fun painting with the chalk paint. I do like it, but I have yet to use their wax.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks old mice and rat traps are cool looking. I picked one up at a flea market to look at it and the lady next to me actually screamed! She said she couldn't believe I would pick up that old, disgusting thing. She'd never make it as a picker!!

    Haha... the old rat trap made me laugh -- and go Eeek just a little. Did you boil it before putting it on your shelves? Yikes... it seems to have been (ahem) USED.

    Yes, ironstone is getting crazy expensive in some areas. I'm glad I got quite a bit from my Mom.

    thanks for visiting That Old House, and have a Happy Fourth!
