Coral - its Perfect

When I blogged about my

Blue Canoe

medical cabinet, I mentioned a large piece

of coral would look perfect on top.

A Big piece -

all by itself.

Now just imagine my De - lighted

surprise

the next time we went to

Monticello Anique Marketplace

and my friend ,

Joyce ,

had this beautiful piece of coral for me.

From her personal collection....

how awesome is that?

It is so beautiful - just as I imagined.
Thank you , sweet friend!!

Joe hung my

Chicago Bridge and Iron Co

sign above the sofa

I love it!!

The living room is slowly coming together - I'll keep you posted!

Farm Chicks Find

You know how I love rust......
so when I saw this rusty medical cabinet that

Blue Canoe brought to the show
I think I heard it call my name.

I've always wanted one. I think this one is special -

it has the original mirror.

I put a few seahells on a plateau and set on it for decor.

I'd like to keep it pretty simple on top so

as to not detract from the piece.

I think a BIG piece of corral on top would be fantastic.

I love all its rusty charm.

And its curvy legs.

Its zinc top.

Just everything about it.

AND its really heavy!

Farm Chicks 2010

We are back from a fantastic Farm Chicks show.

This show goes by so incredibly fast for us , sometimes

its a little hard to remember all the details.

Something that's not hard to recall is

how incredibly FUN this show is!

Here's how our booth started Saturday morning.

Always over packed 'cause I don't want that

one thing you wanted to have been left at home :0)

Its fun to look at photos and say

That sold,

That sold,

Yeah , that sold , too.

The lavender sachets were a great seller, I am making

more for the Portland Antique show and Barn House in July.

Can't believe I still have the Garden cart . Not that it's a problem ,
it wouldn't be the worst thing if it winds up in my yard. :)

The mannequin found a new home with Liz , at Seabold Vintage Market.

The cutest young couple bought the white cubby,

I was kicking myself later for not getting their photo.

They were incredibly sweet and such fun to

see them with their new treasure.

I love seeing someone so Happy with their new purchase!

So the runners were a Huge success. Looks like

my house will be filled with Burlap dust bunnies

in tne next few weeks as I sew more for

Barn House.

Here's my all time FAVORITE new Vendor

Lisa and Tim from
Blue Canoe


They traveled up from California to do the show.

Judging by the response to their booth -

they'll be back.

I bought the Best thing they had -

LOL!

Well , I think it was the best!

I had to have my son-in-law

over to help Joe get it in the house.

You know if it's Heavy I'll buy it!

I'll try and get photos of it later today

Plus

I have more photos of all my

Monticello buds booths at Farm Chicks.

I've Lined Up These Girls For Farm Chicks

Four more days until Farm Chicks!

Can you say

Countdown!

Here's my latest completed project.....

lined shop carts to hold all your treasures.

The inside liner is either blue and white

or brown and white ticking.
They are pretty dang cute

and

Functional.

I think when your done shopping you could roll

it into the laundry room and use it as a hamper.

Dual purpose -

I love that!

I'll see you all in a few days.

My camera is on the charger ,

I hope to take lots of photos to share

with you next week.
