Pallet Art

While I was traveling today, I saw "PALLET HEAVEN"...just kidding! Now, what I saw was "Pallet Place"...it's a HUGE pallet business...oh yes...thousands of pallets for all the DIY's out there. So, after seeing this place, I just had to share with y'all this cute pallet art that Ann at WHIMSY BY THE SEA made, isn't it just charming? Wonderful beach colors, and get this, this pallet is the perfect size for a twin headboard...oh happy day!! Now, go on over and visit Ann to see more about this cutie. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Fluffing Fun

Oh my, I have two booths to fluff , and I also have my home to fluff too. So, what's a gal to do? Well, this crazy gal is going to open another booth next week!!! Okay now, don't think that I have really lost it, or maybe I have.  Looking forward to getting this booth all put together and do some more fluffing...pics coming soon!!! Until then, here are a few pics from my booth at Cotton City Antiques. If you are a local gal, come by and check out the yellow tag sale that I have going on.

Celebrate With Old Glory

Hope all of you have BIG plans for holiday weekend. I will be working at the Marketplace on Friday and Saturday, soaking up our beautiful Alabama beaches on Sunday, and Monday will be a day to clean this house...oh how it needs it! I will be celebrating and remembering all the wonderful folks that lost their lives for our country, and I hope you will too. As I was visiting the links at my Nifty Thrifty Tuesday party this week, I came across this outstanding makeover that Sharla over at THE HOUSE AT BLUEBIRD LANE shared with us, and I just had to make sure that all of y'all saw it too. Please be sure to click here, to read the post about this beauty!! Thanks for coming by, and I hope you have a fun and safe holiday!

My Top Ten List Of Flea Market Finds For 2012...Part 2

Y'all know me...I would much rather head to a flea market than to a mall so I thought I would give you the list I take with me

                                   when I head out to hunt and gather.

Let's see what's on my list....

Click here to see where I shared

two of the items that I look for.

Burlap coffee sacks and grain sacks, are very HOT this year. I bet, you already knew that, right? Some of the things that I use these for are...pillows...frame them for artwork...cover chair seats, and my customers love them!

Frames are also high on my list. I really love taking a old frame and bringing it back to life, just like the one I did here. She was a ugly mauve, in her first life.

IRONSTONE sells very well in my booths. I have everything from plates, tureens, vases, pitchers, cream and sugars to even a IRONSTONE BEDPAN!! Oh yes, I have a fancy bedpan:) I always keep my eyes open for wonderful primitive pieces of furniture, like this charming hutch.

                            

            CRATES...any type of vintage crate gets my attention.

                       There is so many ways to use these.

CHAIRS...CHAIRS and more CHAIRS! I can never have enough of these in
my booths.

MIRRORS, old and new are HOT too! You can always

use another mirror. I like to mix old ones with new ones, keep

that in mind, while you are out shopping.

Here at the end, is a old glass jug. There are so many

ways to display these beauties. I use mine for picture

frames, vases , and sometimes I just add a little bling!
