Still plugging away on getting ready for my first booth in Sept. I have been working on a few drawers, I love that even though a piece has reached the end, a small bit can still be used.  I immediately was drawn to this drawer with the sewing sp...

If you had told me a few months ago I would ever have a mannequin in my house, I would have told you...NO way!  I had been noticing on blogs the lovely dress form ladies and how desirable they were to others, I always thought, if I ever come acr...

I am still working on things for my first upcoming booth. It will be a one day deal and if I don't sell anything....I am going to be out of room to live in! It really is fun creating all day, but without a garage or storage unit...it is getting very...

Work continues for my first try at a booth this coming Fall. I have never been a master at furniture refinishing and my husband HATES painted furniture. Good thing I intend to sell these (God willing). I suppose I could paint a piece here and there a...

Well! I did it...I actually am going to try my first booth. I sent in the application, which is huge because I am a zero risk taker. I got accepted so in Sept I will be trying my hand at a booth at Junkmarket!  I am excited and nervous!!My...

For years I have said my house is...shabby chic, industrial, junk style, flea market etc...But I think perhaps juxtaposition flea market style fits best. I love both the soft,  tranquil  whites as well as the rustic metals. If I had to chos...

The annual clean up week is now come and gone. This year it was nearly moved all the way to Sept, due to the threat of flooding, but...we had minor flooding and our beloved clean up week was on as scheduled.For one week the curbs are full of just abo...

It may not be a crate per say....but it is kind of like 3 crates hooked together. Not sure of it's original use, it was laying by the roadside during our annual clean up week. A few oil stains lead me to believe it had been left in the garage for som...

Well, the wedding programs are finished! And I think all but the cake and decorating on site are left....at least I hope I am not forgetting anything. oh, I just thought of something else...Company will come this weekend and I am so excited, I now ha...

 The Photo booth finished! Except now we have to take it down and reassemble at the site when it is time.  Last year I had found the pink center door sitting by a trash can and nabbed it! The other two doors came from our recycle Restore. T...

It may not be crate and barrel, but wire baskets and wooden crates give my home the comfy decor I want without much expense.I use wire baskets on my cookbook shelf to break up the solid "book shelf" look.Tucking in treasures like vintage bl...

As our season of sales begins to close there was one last big push of yard sale fodder to be found. The last weekend of the flea and now we will trickle to ....no sales. Fall is gorgeous and hopefully it will hang on but those of us in ND know what i...

  Look Sharp! As if I don't collect enough, camera's of old have always caught my eye. I just haven't found the ones I like or the price I like until now. I came across a case that I was not familiar with, I half expected it to be binocular...

 Finding a vintage light for $2 was my first thrill, knowing we have no electricity above our dining table was no problem since I wanted to modify the light for a junk style look.  Collecting random vintage items usually keeps me in a suppl...

   Sales have slowed down, it has been hot, hot everywhere! No one really wants to sit out having a sale in 95 degree heat, I think they are all at the lake, since we don't have a lake home...or boat...or even a pool noodle, we were out at...

Vintage door knobs have always attracted me. From the patina or crystal to the accompanying hardware, they are a wonderful accent for any room. Since I have been collecting them I have used them mostly as displays or for hanging, such as th...

A few changes have happened since the original Vintage Bath Post. I have added some corner accent pieces, and changed the flowers on the candle light to some beads. The first photos are the natural light in the room, not the best for showing detail b...

During clean up week I found a few other treasures. You can see the big find here!  But I also found some old drawers, left in a desk that we just couldn't save, I grabbed 3 of the 4 drawers, the other was forever stuck! I gave them a few coats...

Found treasure!! As I drove along I first spotted a chair, I debated pulling over to collect it. Convincing myself I could do something with it, I jumped out to grab it, then I spotted this gorgeous door! Still with the door knob mounts on it. J...
