More Junking

Took me awhile but I finally made my way back for the rest of the photos :)  Between Work...a 2yr old and the hundreds of projects I have assigned myself the only time I can remember the entire "To Do" list is right before bed time but I have been working on alot of pieces that I need to share too.

ok...to the junk...this little chair was only $35! I almost died!

So this little monstrosity is in the midst of a makeover, it has great bones and should be an easy recover..I'm thinking about using duckcloth and then stenciling on the back of the seat.
I HOPE to have it done by Saturday for a local antique market yard sale and so far it looks better with just the hideous fabric, or should I say plastic off ...

This is one of my favorites. It was covered in dust but came with the tureen, platter and even had the lid with no cracks or chips. Just made me happy!

Enough about my new love...this little bottle is worth a mention too. I have never seen one with a crown top and thought it was the best $2 ever spent, hands down!



Great pair of Angel Wings (One for Etsy too!)

This little table I already painted a pale blue (it was originally just wood) but it has a great swag detail which is kind of hard to make out in the picture-


Detail of the Swag
Well it's off to paint more furniture and bed!
Have a great evening~

Flea Market Heaven

This weekend I was so excited to go junking at Mt Dora's Flea Market! Three times a year they have a giant Extravaganza that you really need all 3 days to get thru but we decided to hustle thru in one day. The weather was pefect around 70 degrees (did I mention I LOVE living in the South!) and even on the second day of the market there were so many goodies and deals that I feel like it was such a blur of excitement I can't remember everthing! I wanted to share a few finds and projects I found...

Olive Baskets!! So excited about these little babies!!

I almost hypervenilated over these "circus" letters...can you believe there were so many?


When I got them home I laid them out to clean them and my little 2yr old  "factory worker" got busy organizing :)



 One of the main reasons we went is because we bought a Historic home in Downtown St Marys (GA) last summer and we have a wonderful formal living room that sits at the front of the house and are in the process of opening a shop in it so this was a great first buying trip to get the shop stocked but some of the finds I will be putting on Etsy too.

I have to put seats back in but I'm thinking covered with grainsacks or burlap...


John the Baptist from 1832 (signed and dated)

One vendor has these fun Union Jack Cubes and all kinds of printed vintage pillows (definitely have a few for Etsy)

Some Sweet little garden beauties!

I have so much more to share but for the sake of stalling your computer downloading pics I will save some for later this week. Have a wonderful week!
