Feast for the EYES!

Saturday we had the pleasure of going to the European Antique Market in Louisville, they were having their Christmas open house. As soon as I seen Shawn post about the open house on her blog, I made plans to go, and I'm glad we did! Shawn has wonderful things from France and England that she hand picks herself. And let me tell you she has a great eye! From the moment I walked in the store I wanted to sell everything in my house and redecorate with her treasures! I did purchase a set of 6 Louis XVI Chairs, OMG they are FABULOUS! I will post about them later! I hope you enjoy the tour of her store and if you are ever in Louisville you must stop in and visit with her, you won't be disappointed!

I wanted this table also!

I love red books!

Hope you enjoyed!

Stuff for sale, room #2

Well, this is the green room, room #2 of the shop that I have created in my house! It is packed to the gills with good junk that I hope someone will want to buy! I think it all came together pretty well.

None of the coral is for sale.

Love the layers of frames, and tarnished silver.

What do you think of this old phonics poster?

Killer cupboard from Iowa!

Oh, look butter pats!!

Letter cubes I got from AJunkQueen in Texas!

I bought several more pieces of

brown and white transferware today!

But I was to lazy to unwrap them

and put them in the cupboard!

Can you see the paper dress form? Love it!

Would you shop here?

I have been working my booty off trying and get these rooms done! Not sure what has taken me so long, I guess because I didn't have a deadline to meet. These first pictures are of the red room, tomorrow I will post pictures of the green room. I still don't have much greenery put around and I don't have the lamps hooked up yet, when I get that done I will take some night pictures.

It's hard to take pictures in a small room when it's full of junk!

Red walls are hard to photograph, because you get a glare.

String and more string!

Love this cupboard, it is all one piece!

White dishes everywhere!

This is the first lap top known to man.

I have a weakness for clocks.

Whoops, forgot to put a lamp shade on the lamp!

Iowa Treasures

First of all Sharon and I shopped till I dropped! I had to beg her to take me home on Friday night after we went to Sisters Christmas open house! We had shopped all day long and I was so exhausted I couldn't go another step! But Saturday morning I was ready, willing and able to start all over again, so off we went!

The only things I bought in Iowa were smalls, and I got tons of Ironstone. (One of my all time favorites!) I even bought some brown and white ironstone, can you believe that! I sold every piece of brown and white I took to the last Marburger Farms show. Sorry there's not more to show, but I was afraid to spend much money with the economy like it is! Oh, yes and Christmas is right around the corner!

I think I hit the jackpot on pitchers!

Old crusty pearls.

Thought this glove form was cool.

Can never get enough old photos.

Just had to have these black door knobs.

Eat your heart out!

I have reservations at the famous Pink Chateau in Iowa this weekend! I am so excited! We are going to have a girls weekend! (YES)! It was a last minute decision, so that means I won't be getting my room done this weekend like I promised. But I get to go to the Christmas Open House at Sisters!! Whheeeeee!! Ain't no tellin where we will end up! Sorry girls!!

Sweet Gift

Craig was painting a skid loader yesterday and came across this sweet bird nest tucked into a corner of the cab. He knows I love bird nest, so he loving put it in a plastic bag so he wouldn't lose the eggs. When I got home from work he said I found you something today, then presented me with the nest! I loved it!

The little eggs are so fragile one of them fell to pieces in my fingers.

For many years my children have always gifted me with bird nest and feathers. I'm not even sure how many I have. Any time one of them found a nest or a feather they would run in the house full of excitement and out of breath. I can see the smiles on their little face, outstretched arm with a delicate nest cradle in their hand. All 3 of them knew I loved nest and feathers and it cost nothing to make mommy very happy! Oh, those were the days! My sweet babies are all grown up now, but I still have my nest and feathers to remember those special moments in time.

I have a whole cupboard full of these gifts. I love wasp nest and dried up bugs also!

Sorry, you can see me in the mirror!

My son probably gifted me with the most nest and feathers.

There are at least 20 nest in this bowl,
one of the nest is connected to a stick.

Sunday Stash

Sunday Stash has me seeing RED? I know me buying something with red in it! Actually this all came from one yard sale, can you believe that. A friend of mine died a year ago and her house was all primitive, her husband had a yard sale so I scored. I don't really like these kind of things but they were to cute to pass up. I think from now on I will have a Sunday Stash every week and I will start selling from it, so if you see something you are interested in just e-mail me. I don't have a pay-pal account set up yet, but I will see what I can do. As a matter of fact I don't know the first thing about getting it set up, but I am going to try.

Love this letter to Santa! The frame is cute also.


And this doll holding a cat! Cuuuttttteeeee!!!

The large crow is foam and the small one is fabric.

Cute little purse has a mirror inside.

Frames and ledgers, who can resist these?

A smaller letter to Santa.
