A little piece of home

 

010

So I finally put out my Halloween decorations (this is kinda late for me)! This is a picture of my sideboard in the dining room. I just love my glittered skeletons!

Here is a photo of our “butler”. He stands in the corner of the dining room patiently waiting for guests! He is animatronic and is 6 ft tall. Even his eyes move….creepy. He says a few phrases like…   “Good evening, the Master has been expecting you”…lol.

Halloween is just plain fun. Have you decorated yet?

Hi ya!---Here is my take on the fun pumpkins guys I learned about on Glitterbug Studios Blog and Honey Girl Studios Blog! Thanks for the inspiration girls!  Be sure to check out their blogs for the “know-how”! They are both such talented artists!

Well, I haven’t been setting up at the fleamarket much lately but I DID do some SHOPPING there today!  GReAt finds! It was such a comfortable fall morning for browsing outside. 012

AHHH! This stuff just makes me grin from ear to ear!

I left the house with 30 bucks and come home with all these yummies!

This old desk has a shelf on the reverse side—how cool!

Halloween and Fall are coming quickly! Fall is my fAvoRIte time of year!  I am gearing up with some new goodies in the shop! Taking a different twist on it this year with more blacks and whites….what do ya think? You know I can’t wait much longer to drag out all my Halloween decor for my house!  We have tons and I love it! Halloween is fun, fun, fun.

I also added some new stuff to the wall space at the Picket!

Next week the Olde Picket Fence will be extending their hours to 5:00 in the evening instead of 4!—Monday thru Saturday. More time to shop, ya gotta love that! 

Tomorrow is FRiDaY! Make it a good one!

New Store Space at the Olde Picket Fence!

So I finally made my move to a bigger spot in the store! I am very happy about it. I still have many items to add, and the walls are a little bare….but I’m off to a great start! I hope many of you will stop in to check out my new space! 

014  Here is a shot of the space “BEFORE”

 

Nothing can be more intimidating than an empty canvas!

Here is my “AFTER”!

Decorating and re-arranging is SO FUN to me. I do it all the time, especially at my own home.  My poor family never knows where the couch will be!  Ha Ha! I plan on this new store space to change just as often!  Its playtime for me!

Great Labor Day at Hartville Flea Market!

 

004

Thanks so much to all of you who came to see me at the flea market! There was such a large crowd! It was a good day despite some wind. We took the tents down early for fear they would lift off on their own! Had a couple casualties---broken lamp, vase and picture due to the wind but overall it was a success! I had a bunch of “new” things to share which were very popular—I hope you all enjoy those new treasures!

Now, on to my next adventure! Moving to my LARGER space at the Picket Fence sometime this week---fun, fun!

Wind and Rain and Cold…oh my!

 

wind

Well…we pulled into the flea market this am and realized it was entirely TOO WINDY to set up! Didn’t want to spend all day chasing my items down the parking lot!    Decided to head home but have solid plans to set up on Monday! I hope the ones of you who braved the weather found some treasures today! I’m gonna stay in today and get even MORE STUFF made for Monday.

Goodmorning! I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be at the HARTVILLE FLEA MARKET this holiday weekend! I am gonna shoot for Saturday AND Monday (weather permitting). I think it is supposed to RAIN on Saturday?? (Fingers crossed) I have TONS of new things, my truck is FULL! Looking forward to a great weekend at the FleaMarket!  Hope to see YOU there!

026ALSO—don’t forget to check out the OLDE PICKET FENCE while you are in Hartville! Just about 1/2 away from the Flea Market. There are lots of new items in the entire store for FALL and the place looks GREAT!  I will be moving to a different space in the store next week—BIGGER and BETTER! I will keep you posted with pictures and updates. I am so excited about the change!
