Luna,

I wish you the best on finding a house. It is a hard job. Hubs and I love to look at an antique homes real estate sale website (it is oldhouses.com). We will look and dream for hours. We downsized not realizing that we would ever need more space. A house with a garage apartment/guest house would help with aging inlaws. Unfortunately the choices are few in our price range.

Now that is a FUN shopping trip!!!!! What 'different' merchandise and decor.

Loved your idea about the frog bird house if the hole is big enough. If it is not big enough it will become a frog bee house. lol

Good luck house hunting. You will know when the right one comes along. Neat stuff at this store. Saw some bottles that are interesting.

What a great place to spend an afternoon in! Lots of "stuff". I wish you and Bob the best in finding a house!!

Wow...talk of blue bottles...your mini-tree will be great! Loved the frog peeper also...hope it works for a bdhse! Good house huntin'! Jeanne S.

Oh what a cool place to get lost in for a while!

Wouldn't the skeleton look funny laying on the ground with some daisies growing out of his ribs?! LOL that would qualify it as GJ lol.

The bottles were a very good buy, especially the blue ones!

When I saw the peep holes, I could see it on a birdhouse. It sure would dress up the right birdhouse.

Best of luck on the house hunt, be patient and wait until you find the right one, it'll be worth it. We lived in an apartment for 3 years before we bought this house, I missed having my own dirt so much. Just keep hunting and you'll find the one for you, with a place for you to get really creative & have lots of good garden junk! Loved all the pics ~tenderlee

Love the green and brown bottles...Wow what a place...I thought birdhoses to when I saw the frog things...

My son-in-law buys from them on-line all the time.
Never did know anyone that had been in their store
before tho'. I got some blue bottles a couple of
years ago when he was making an order. They have
lots of stuff!!!!!!

Coool stuff!! Looks like a great store to rummage through. I especially like that tire buffalo head. Don't know what I'd do with it, but it's neat!

About house hunting.... ya wanna hear a story? Before I moved here I was going back and forth a lot for several reasons, one being I needed to sell my house. DH was renting a place and we were thinking we'd look for something once I was here permanently. I had called my GF and she was asking if Australia was feeling like 'home' yet (I had been here several weeks) I couldn't believe she asked this because the few days before I called her I was wondering how Australia would ever feel like home. Actually, my 'homesickness' was what drove me to call her. So after a good talk, I decided to talk to the Man Upstairs and told Him that I wouldn't feel comfortable in Australia until I had a 'home'. Then I said, "It's in Your hands now" and left it at that. About 40 minutes later, DH comes in and says he thinks he has a real home for us. The owner said we could rent until my house in NY was sold and then we could settle. We went to look at it and it was perfect. Sweet little two bedroom, close to the town center, practically brand, spankin' new.

The best advice is go to the Lord; He knows what you need and He'll provide. But leave it in His hands. Let Him take care of you. Of course, keep the search up, but let Him be the guide.

Good luck and here's praying you find the perfect home soon!!
