New Treasures Added Today!

Auction Update....

I've been a little busy this week so I haven't had a moment to post about last weeks auction. As I thought there were tons of people and prices went sky high. To give you an example, the mantel went for $1150.00 which I thought would go for somewhere around $400.00 to $600.00 and the hooked rug went for over $300.00. I probably could of bought the chippy green trunk but my friend wanted it so badly...so I let her have it....she paid $70.00 dollars which I thought was quite reasonable. So what did I get...a boat load of feed sacks with cool advertisements, 2 German purses, a little chippy bench, a beat up farm table (its already in my booth), and some other nick knacks...nothing fantastic! I'll add some items to the store later on this weekend. Now, for the exciting news...at least for me...there's another auction tonight! Yep, I went and took some pics to share with ya'll...but let me tell you, its not as good as the one last week. There's really not a lot of furniture however they had some good small items...take a peek and let me know what you think...


This cherub lamp is sooo much better than this pics.. a must have for your shabby romantic abode.

More cherubs...made in Germany!

There are two of these hooked rugs.
An assortment of porcelain posies from Italy.Lots of cherub clocks...Can't have too many chalkware statues...I already have this set so if I win the auction it will definitely go online...or perhaps to my BFF Beth....Little lamps with pink shades...see the yellow sticker with the number three...it means there's already a bid on it...darn it!Lots of concrete statues....I like the blue chenille and quilt on the bottom.

I thought he was a hoot....and he is enormous...there's a huge fish as well...lol!Tea Pot from England...had an assortment of dishes and tea cups with it...not a whole set.

Another concrete statue

I'll post tomorrow on my finds...have a great weekend!

Auction Preview....

I'm going to a terrific auction tonight and thought I would share some pics...most of the items are more on the primitive side...but, lots of chippy furniture. I think there will be a large crowd so I'm not too optimistic that I will score big. I really did not have time to look because there was so much stuff so I'm sure I'll be able to find some treasures for all my shabby romantic fans...I let you know later on this weekend. In the interim enjoy the pics....
Until the next time...have a great weekend!

Remembering Our Veterans....

Today is Veterans Day and is a celebration first commemorating the 11th day of the 11 month in 1918, when an armistice brought an end to World World I. To all of the servicemembers that have survived their experiences in war....I THANK YOU!

Please give thanks and support to our Veterans....we are proud of you...our lives today would not be the same without your bravery.

PINK Victorian B&B HOUSE TOUR

Let's take a stroll and visit the awesome PINK B&B that is for sale in our neighborhood. I think its under contract...although some of the rooms are a tad bit formal for me, I still think she's BEAUTY....what do you think?

Have a great weekend!

Lil' Christmas Shopping

Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? Most of my friends are either done or only have a couple more items to pick up.......I'm sooo envious.....for once I wish I could get it done before Thanksgiving so I could perhaps enjoy the holidays....its always been a bit stressful for me. BUT this year ( I know I'm jinxing myself) I've decided to get a jump start on it....now, don't get all excited, I just started last weekend....but still a monumental moment for me. Ya see, my problem, and not a bad one mind you, is that most of my family and friends don't need or want anything...a good thing really but bad when it comes to buying gifts. AND I really do not like giving money or gift cards because its so not personal....I love it when I find the perfect gift; its thrilling to watch them open their gifts and see the huge smile! So needless to say, it makes the holidays such a challenge. And get this...a good many of my friends and family are not into JUNK....I know, I know, hard to believe...are they CRAZY! Here are a couple things...and I mean a couple...that I've picked up along the way....

TJ Maxx has fabulous stuff...this Prep Bowl Set (3 Bowls) is awesome @ $7.99.
They also have the most amazing cards. These pics really do not do them justice. A box of 20 for $3.99...in years past I've spent a fortune buying a box of cards. These are 3D...Santa's hat, outfit and mittens are lifted from the card...so cute.

Another TJ Maxx find....oh, these hats are 2DIE4...might have to go back and get me one or two! And only $12.99!This vintage rusty bank is the perfect find for one of my dearest friends...the more rust and dings the more she loves the item.


I have a couple of friends that LOVE roosters....so, these little oven mitts were adorable...not only do you get the oven mitt, but brownie mix and recipe cards...and $5.00 at Big Lots. Do you have a Big Lots...if not, you are soooo missing out!


Hmmm, this exit sign might have to be a keeper....if not, its going to my twin brother...he loves advertisment pieces and signs just like me...go figure.

Another great little piece...perhaps one advertisement piece for my bro and one for me...hee, hee, hee...or should I say, Ho, Ho , Ho! Imagine this little baby in a bathroom full of soaps or makeup...yep, its convincing me to keep it...just say NO, just say NO...I'm trying girlfriends.

I don't know who I bought this little cutie patutie for but it had to come home with me...envision it on a chippy greenish blue kitchen hutch amongst ironstone pitchers and plates...hmmm, sorta like the one I have....That's it for now...any advice or ideas for perfect gifts would be sooo appreciated.

Booth MADNESS!

My weekends have been so busy lately that I've somewhat neglected both my booths. It certainly doesn't help that one is over an hour away and the weather has not cooperated with me lugging furniture in my truck. However, Saturday was somewhat decent so I loaded up and headed to my booth to bring some new items and rearrange. Re-arranging your booth is essential to sales...customers see things they never saw before...its amazing. So, after three long hours I got it looking somewhat organized. Here are some pics for your enjoyment...please email if you see something you like....

Love this couch...very french provincial! And at $325.00 its a bargain!

I put this little cutie behind the couch and it looks fabby!
This PINK kitchen stool used to be in my business partner's house...if you want to see it in her kitchen, please go to our store and look at the gallery pics...hard to believe she's letting it go!

Little black dresser with crystal pulls is so versatile...use it in a bedroom or family room.

This armoire would look fabulous in a little girls room...hand painted and all!

Here's a better pic of the armoire....not much better since you really cannot see the paint that well.

The booth is packed with tons of goodies...

Love this white chippy piece...great for a kitchen or dining room...looks at the pulls....YUMMY!

I also worked on my other booth on Sunday....I'll share pics with you later this week.

And yes, if your interested...we ship furniture. Hope your having a great week!
