An Old Treasure Found Again

So, it has been months since I have posted anything.  I really haven't been out treasure hunting all that much.  But I recently ran across a treasure that my husband found years ago and wanted to share it.  It is the Weasku Inn in Grants Pass, Oregon.  We drove down to California for Christmas and stayed there on our way down and our way up.  It is nestled along the Rogue River with great cabins and four rooms in the main lodge.  It has been there for many, many years, but has been updated.  A little history of the place is that Clark Gable and Walt Disney use to stay there frequently.  Room number 3 in the main lodge was Clark's.  Another bonus are the many Antique shops and Gift shops along Main Street in Grants Pass.  Their busy season is the summer, but I loved the Holiday decorations throughout the town during our trip.  Here are some pictures of the grounds at the Weasku Inn.

This is the main lodge viewed from the cabins.

 This is the view toward the cabins.  Each cabin has two to three separate rooms in them.  They are duplexes and triplexes.

 These are two great chairs that sit in the middle of the lawn overlooking the river and cabins.  The main lodge is behind them.

If you are ever in the need for a weekend get away, try the Weasku Inn in Grants Pass, Oregon. 

Happy New Year to all!

Finally made it out again!

So I haven't been able or in the mood to treasure hunt lately. I did sign up to go to an estate sale a few weeks ago and then The Little Treasurer Hunter caught a cold and I was not able to make it. However, I saw an announcement for an Amundson Auction and worked it out with the hubby so that I could go. The weather turned out to be great; although, I wasn't dressed for great weather.

Here are the two treasures I got:

 This is three great pictures of the Monterey Bay in California taken in 1934.  I am contemplating given it to my parents for their anniversary.  They often go to Monterey to celebrate their anniversary so I thought it would make a great present.

 These are eight Ice Tea Spoons for my silverware which was my grandmother's.  I got a complete set of the silverware (5 piece place setting for eight, 3 serving tablespoons, 1 solid casserole spoon, 1 sugar spoon, and 1 serving fork).  Some of the pictures are below.  I am not sure whether I am going to keep the set (it is either the dinner set or the luncheon set and I have the other one that it is not) or sell it.  I am keeping the Ice Tea Spoons for sure, they are very hard to find.

I spent a lot of time at the auction because, as usual, the items I wanted to bid on were last to come up.  Oh well, it was fun getting to know the fellow buyers there.

Until next time, Happy Treasure Hunting.

HOLY CROCK!

I am offically done buying crocks! :)  My sister found me a 5 gallon Crown crock two weeks ago.  Then last Tuesday I took my parents to Hippo Hardward so that they could get drawer pulls for their newly remodeled bathroom and closet.  Well, while we were at Hippo, my parents bought this 6 gallon Marshall Pottery crock as an early birthday present.

I thought that the 5 gallon and 6 gallon were the only ones that I had left to search for, but was I wrong!  Again, while we were at Hippo Hardware, I ran across this beauty and could not resist buying it.  Look at the second picture and you will see that it is a 30 Gallon Crown crock.  YES, you read that right, 30 Gallon!  It is broken and needs to be glued, but I really don't care.  I had no idea they were made that big.  What a fabulous find.

Happy Treasure Hunting to everyone!
