    You really did find some great things.I do love the plant stand.All that beautiful glass.I'm just wanting to get into a junk sale here so bad but it would cost way to much to mail home.

    dr says I can have the box of gourds. Now, I need to know what kind of paint you use on them. I've never tried to paint gourds. Dooley

    Dooley, have the gourds been cleaned with a bleach solution to remove mildew from the drying process?
    When you are ready to paint use the Craft Acrylic paints from any hobby store, then seal them well to waterproof them.

    Fantastic finds! Nothing nearly so exciting around here.

    Great goodies you put in your other post, too! :)
