Findings At Summerhouse


This was a small booth inside one of the buildings that I dearly loved!
Although it was small, it was packed with a ton of WOW!
JoAnna makes the jewelry and for the life of me I can't remember her mothers name!
Sorry!
I didn't meet JoAnna, she was at another show,
but I met her mom and she was a doll!
Both, mother and daughter are very talented!


Be still my heart!


Everything was perfect about this booth!




Love, love, love the use of boxes!
I love the way they tucked things neatly into each and every box!
I've always had a thing for boxes. 



The wonderful gal that owns this booth, JoAnna was on an episode of
The Nate Burkas show last week for House Proud.

You gotta go check it out!
Also, I think her house has been in Country Living.
Not 100% sure!

Springfield Show

Had this banner made before we left for the show!
I love it! 


Hello Bloggers!
WOW!
Springfield was a turn and burn show for sure!
Couldn't set up till 11:30am on Thursday,
then we opened 7am Friday morning!
Unfortunately, there wasn't much time for taking photos.
I did photograph a few booths and I will share them later.
We had a great time and sales were decent.
Funny thing was,
some of my customers were Marburger dealers
and one local dealer from my area!
To funny!
I had no idea what shoppers would buy in this area,
so I took a little bit of everything.
I have a better feel for things now, 
so if we do the show next year I will be on top of things.
Here are a few photos of my booth.









This is a great big shout out to all you loyal blog readers (stalkers) whatever you call yourself!
Thanks for stopping by to say HI!
You guys are the best!
You make me want to keep on blogging!
Thank you!

Great Day For Shopping!


Went out today to do a little shopping and it really paid off!
You never know what you gonna find when you go out!
I was lucky enough to find not one, but two metal desk!
I almost fainted.
We don't see these desk very often, but finding two was a blessing!
We found two metal dressers at City Farmhouse last weekend!
I thought that was great, then two desk today!
Yeah!


Got a great iron bed.
Two bamboo handle, canvas umbrellas.
And that strange thing on the desk is a light!
Weird, but cool!




Love this umbrella stand!


And the pictures below are things that we bought on the way home from Texas!
I wanted to show you what all this stuff looks like before we refinish it.
It's pretty gross.
 It takes hours and sometimes days to get it to look like it does when you see it in our booth!


Great utility cabinet, needs a top.
Funky table legs, needs a top.


Two great night stands and a tiny little table.


And this is an exam table that Craig had a fit over.
Already removed the stirrups!
He is gonna put it on large rollers, make a new top and turn it into a kitchen island.
It has storage on all four sides!
Awesome! He didn't like the step at the end,
but I told him that's where little kids can stand while their helping mommy in the kitchen!


Got the shelf at City Farmhouse same time I bought the two metal dressers.
I'll show a picture of those later, Craig had already put them in the building.
The two metal dressers are dated 1941 on the back.
I will be sure and take a picture of that as well!

Another neat nightstand and cool little table.
Nobody wants this stuff the way it looks,
but after we are done with it,
it becomes a lovely addition to anyone's home!


Four Russell Wright Chairs.
These things are awful!
Can you imagine how they will look stripped?
I know it's hard, but believe I will show you when they are done.



Like I said we put hours and hours into this furniture.



These two large cart handles will become table legs!


And Theresa bought these chairs for herself while we were at the show!
I can't imagine why anyone would cover up the backs of these chairs.
See how beautiful they are when the back cover comes off.
There are six of them and they are heavy as all get out.


Can't wait to get these done and put them in my house.
I sold my French Chairs and Marburger and was looking for a replacement.

A few of these small things will make there way to the 
Make plans now to attend the show.

House Wren


This is Nancy and Mike's booth at Marburger Farms.
I love Nancy's style!
She is also a florist.
I love all her arrangements.



Who knew an old tire could look so good!


I love all the natural elements Nancy uses!





I have tons of pictures from the Texas show.
I just haven't had times to post them.
Soon! Real soon!

I have new glasses and for the life of me I can't get used to them.
Of course they are bifocals and I can't read anything on the computer!
I have two weeks of trial, pray I can learn how to see with these things!

Which One Would You Rather Have?


Which one of these chairs would you choose for your home? It always amazes me how a little paint will change the looks of a piece of furniture.  I never pass up the opportunity to buy a piece of furniture with old paint, but......sometimes old paint can be hard to find.


I have been painting furniture for more than 25 years, long before Rachel Ashwell made Shabby Chic popular. When we started doing shows 13 years ago in Atlanta that is all we sold. But after about while, I grew very tired of painting everything in sight! hahaha!


But guess what? Since I've had the shop, it seems people want painted furniture and I'm gonna give it to them. A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do!


I've had these chairs for a long time and I intended to recover them. But lately I've seen several blogs that show painting the fabric right along with the wood. Figured I'd try my hand at this. Well.......it is easy as pie! And it is truly amazing how good the fabric looks painted. I have 4 of these chairs and I think they look great! These babies will  go to the  shop Thursday.




Want to remind you of the Vintage Marketplace!
I am very excited about this show!
I think is is gonna be amazing!
I'm gonna choose the winners of the tickets tonight!
If you haven't put you name in the POT you still have time!
