More photos from the Barn Sale ~ if you missed the first batch, just scroll down a few posts.

I have a sideboard much like this that I made into our kitchen island – isn’t this one lovely?

What a birdcage – Donna, I hear it calling your name!

I think these are Joy’s birds on the top of the cage.

Such a pretty vignette.

Isn’t this the most incredible birdbath? I just love it.

This tall cabinet was already marked “Sold” when I saw it. I can see why.

This old screen door is so charming ~ I can see it in a storybook cottage.

I hope you’ve enjoyed all this eye candy. I only have one more barn sale before I leave to journey back East…I’ll really miss it.

This is post 225 – tomorrow I’ll post about the giveaway.

I’ve been tagged by Claudie…I supposed to share 6 things about me that you might not know. I did one of these early on in my blogging days; let’s see if I can think of anything new….Hmmmm.

~~I cry easily. I just watched Pollyanna on TCM and cried my eyes out. A well-done commercial can send me off, too. I’m sentimental, what can I say?

~~I became sick right after I was born and turned blue. My Mother had to come home from the hospital without me and I was allowed to come home on Thanksgiving. For many years after that my Dad always said “Thank you for Claudia” during the blessing.

~~I love Fred Astaire. I have read most everything about him, and have seen all his movies many, many times.

~~My favorite novel and movie – ever – is To Kill a Mockingbird.(Do you see a connection to the name of my home?) The novel is brilliant, the movie is the best adaptation of a novel I’ve ever seen. I got to see Gregory Peck live a few years back when he was doing his one man show (because my dear husband bought me a ticket as a gift). As the theme music to the movie played during the introduction, I started crying. Mr. Peck was delightful – a real Irish storyteller.

~~I love animals – all animals, and I’m a vegetarian. At times I am vegan.

~~I can burp on cue. I used to do it to annoy my brother when we were kids. I kept on doing it until he told me one day that it would give me an ulcer. I was younger and I believed him.

I also received an award from Lynn. Thank you, Lynn! I’m supposed to list 5 things that I don’t like. Here goes:

~~ when people talk loudly on cell phones in public – as if they are in private

~~ when people forget to turn off their cell phones at the theater or, unbelievably, text during the show

~~ cruelty of any kind – to people, animals or the earth

~~ injustice

~~ hypocrisy

There you have it – I am supposed to pass these on, but to tell you the truth, I feel a bit uncomfortable doing that. If you, my readers, would like to take part, please do! Feel free to take the award, and tell us what you don’t like – or take the tag and tell us things about yourself we don’t know.

Tomorrow I will post more photos from the Barn Sale! And that will be my 225th post, so the next day I will post about the giveaway!
