Home Sweet Homestead ♥

What do you do when you want a full size bathtub but don’t have the room in your tiny house? Put it on the porch! Ha. We picked up this vintage 50s/60s pink bath tub for $20! I’ve always loved the retro colored bathtubs so it was a good find. We have it all setup to take baths/showers and it is a pretty nice view looking out at the forest. 

The bathroom will eventually go in the greenhouse/solarium but for now we are enjoying our porch baths!

GIVEAWAY!!! 

This is my first attempt at carving a hatchet handle and I wanted to share the love! Thank you to all our loyal readers as well as our new ones!

The knife in the photo is the only tool I used to carve this handle. The Ash I used had some Ash Bores in it so there is a little scarring but it gives it character! The head is vintage steel that I reconditioned, sharpened, and painted blue to make it more visible on the forest floor.

The Deal:

 Be one of our readers and “like” the post, reblog it, or leave a comment. 

When this post reaches 500 notes I”ll choose a reader at random to send the hatchet to!

Thanks and good luck!

I’ve purchased several vintage axe and hatchet heads to fashion handles to. This is the beginning of the first. Sitting by the stove at night whittling and carving this was perfect. 

I might raffle one and sell the rest to keep us going here at the homestead. If you know anyone that might be interested pass it along. Thanks!

Picked this book up when I was in high school at a church yard sale. Printed in 1932. I love the little doodles throughout as well as the book.

Work! I’m not a huge fan of cutting down trees, but the land owner said i can use it for fire wood. It will keep us warm at some point this winter.

One by one the old farm windows are going in. I left the paint chipped on most of the windows. I like seeing the different colors they were painted over the years..white, mint green, sunshine yellow.

Our ol’ Aristocrat went to her new home today :’) sad to see her go but our trailer went to the nicest guy, Charles & his fam. We are so happy it went to a family who can appreciate it! They now follow the blog and we plan to stay in touch with them. 

p.s. don’t mind Mazzy’s Buddha belly, she’s a squirmy one!
