Flea Market Pt.1

There is just so much to show you , so I thought I would start with these..


I had so much fun!

I can't wait to show you what came home with me , old prom dresses,tea stained trims and old ticking feather pillows just to name a few...



I brought my 2 girls with me and they were a big help!


Carrying my bags as we filled up the flea market cart I brought with rather quickly!



Remember Friday is The show what you create Blog party! Yes there is still time to sign up, it's about five posts back. Will post everyone playing on friday!







This could just be my longest post ever, but I am sure you won't mind!

Off to the Flea

Off to the Flea tonight and I can hardly wait! I will be bringing my little helper, it's so much easier to shop without an armload of treasures.



And wanted to say Thank you to Cerri of LittlePinkStudio for this lovely basket, we were partners in Jenny's May Day basket swap! And I just love everything she sent me. The doll, the basket and all the little goodies fit right in to my home!


Can't wait to show you the flea, will be taking lots of pics!

To cut or what?

Thanks for all your help on the chandelier, I think or now I will leave it. I do like the contrast against all the white around here not that there could ever be TOO much white!
I made a crown yesterday for my little doll head here with some vintage wallpaper, old tinsel and pieces of an old doll dress .


And I found this a 1930's vintage wedding dress and just LOOK at the trim on this , oh my .I am really thinking about cutting it up and using the lace and trim, what do you think?? It's not like I am going to wear this although I certainly would if I was to be getting married. Oh please help me decide!!!


And you can never have too many of these .I really like this blue color ,more and more .This old shoe bag has lovely stitched detail and will help out alot once I get it hung up in the studio and stuffed with goodies!

I think I am having an organizing fetish lately, I bought the shoe bag and this old vintage drawers from an old sewing machine thingy. I just love the chippy old paint.

Remember about 3 posts down ,theres still time to sign up for show what you create! And I can't wait to show you what I came up with!

To paint or not to paint????

I have been thinking about this for a long time??? To paint or not to paint?


What do you think, I love it the wait it is ,but I also think it would look pretty white ,can someone please help me decide because once it's painted it's painted.

Something pretty for Mom

I picked up a few goods over the weekend and I just love the way they all look together. Three of these old plates , a beautiful dresser scarf with pretty crochet trim and an old card that says Reward of Merit.I was thinking what a lovely Mother's Day Gift this would make all simply tied with an old piece of seam binding ribbon.



And I promised a picture of my living room , here is one side of it .And on the other side is the tv and my computer desk. Over the window I tacked up a old white belgin linen tablecloth.Five kids and white couches, heck ya! No I am not crazy , the slipcovers can come off and be washed and bleached if needed.

And on my computer desk on the other side of the room ,I added a old floppy flower and seam binding ribbon to a favorite old lampshade of mine.

And a few treasures to be insired by ...

Hope you'll also join me for a fun day of creating ! You can read more about it in the post below!
Also wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your comments and friendship , each one is special to me ,That you would take the time out of your day to stop by and say hello!
