Even More for Market

Here are even more pictures of what we are getting ready for market.


Look what's in store for you in our booth at the Paris Street Market coming up soon on August 2!  We have furniture as well as collectibles and vintage accessories that might be just perfect for that spot in your home that needs a "unique piece." We could name off everything, but instead, we'll show you just a few pictures.  (We may have gotten a little carried away!)


We'll have some great graniteware, wooden spoons, old cutting boards and wonderful primitive finds for the kitchen............

 

Several pieces of beautiful old white ironstone.............

Ssome vintage silver serving pieces and flatware..........

Old pictures (instant relatives).........

Old books, old suitcases..........

Cigar molds, shoe lasts..........

A collection of vintage linens and doilies.............

                                                

Remember, this is just a sneak peek....we have more! Plan to come see our booth at the Paris Street Market, August 2, 2014, in the Littleton area.  You just may see something that needs to go home with you...........


Stop by and tell us that you saw our Blog. (we may even announce a fun prize for blog readers in the week before the show!--hint, hint) 

We'd love to meet you.

And The Winner Is (Pottery Barn Inspired Decor)

We were thrilled to hear comments from several of you in regards to which look you preferred for the armoire in my Master Bedroom. See that post here. Some of you commented on the blog, some e-mailed us, and some even called me! I might mention, however, we did not have a clear-cut choice..........On the blog, most of you preferred Look #4. However I had an equal number of e-mails and calls in favor of Look #2 and even Look #1. No wonder I was having a hard time making up my mind. 


I did appreciate all of your feedback and I took it to heart. Since I did want a cleaner, brighter look to go with the new white bedding, I took several of the elements, changed it up a bit and came up with this look.

I hope I incorporated what you liked about each. I love the old frames, mixing the rectangles with the round balls and finials. Adding the old white ironstone pitcher and platter brought in the simple white that I love. The bare twigs in the pitcher will be replaced with something greener when Spring arrives.

Since I really loved the old ceiling tin from Look #2, I hung it in the stairwell in the entry hall.
 

And because I also love my suitcases from Look #2, I moved them to the top of the antique linen press in the downstairs den.

Most of the other "family pieces" have been put back into other areas of my home, or in the case of the framed landscape pictures, they are stored for another day.

Thanks again to all of you who responded. It was really fun to hear from you. We welcome your comments any time. By the way, the winner of the drawing for the Pottery Barn Gift Card was Audrey--one of Karli's friends who commented on the post. (We randomly drew a number and she was the lucky lady).

Thanks again for following along as we move from one project to the next.

Flea Market Favorites: Top 7 Best Finds

Spring and summer are just around the corner and to me that means garage sales, flea markets (here's one of our favorites) and farm auctions. I get excited just thinking about the bargains and make-over projects I can find. I love the thrill of the hunt.

I have several collections that I'm always willing to add to. Here's the list of what I'm always looking for.

Old Doorknobs and Door Hardware

Great for display as well as projects (like doors)

Vintage Suitcases 

These are all over my house. See my earlier post for some of my favorite ways to use them.



Old Frames     

You can see more of these put to use here.

Framed Relatives 

They don't have to be "your" relatives, just love the look.

Old windows, doors, and shutters

So many uses, you can't have too many of these around. See how we used an old door at Karli's house here and here.

Vintage Ironstone, Platters and Pitchers



I'll never quit adding to my collections.

Furniture Projects

A rocker awaiting its transformation. See more of my favorite chairs here.



A sweet little table just waiting...

See more of my past furniture finds here, here and here (this last one is all about color!).                         

I don't know about you, but just talking about this makes me anxious. I can hardly wait to get out there!  

Happy Hunting!
