The End of Summer Antique Fair

Well, it has been a month since the last antique fair. I was happy that my schedule allowed me to attend this one, as there is only one more for this year (sigh). How can it possibly be that the summer is gone?

Well, I guess that means I just have to cozy up in my chair, light the fire, read a good book and work on some new projects! But, before that snow flies, take a little trip with me to the Washington Antiques Fair.....

Doesn't the above chair have such wonderful form? Can't you just see it reupholstered in your favorite yummy fabric? Wouldn't it be wonderful to go to one antique sale and have enough money to buy what you wanted and THEN........ have enough money to fix what needs fixed! I think I have purchased lots of things that need fixin' in my life, but not enough have gotten out the other end, refurbished! Projects for another day!

Isn't this picture a beauty! This particular table had LOTS of pictures. Just gorgeous. This one, in particular, reminds me of two sisters, playing happily. Good times, indeed!

These doors caught my eye. Looks like someone used some creative license on them. I think I like the one on the right better than the one on the left. But great colors, don't you think?

Now who can't use a fabric screen? I have a weakness for these. I own only one, but, boy, could I own more! There's that money thing again... Hmmmmmm.......

And, another screen. Cute dishes. Great table for the porch or a kitchen.

Sweet arrangements.

Love that white drop front desk in the background. I have just the place for it! (No, it didn't go home with me (sigh))!

Lots of tables with small items. Lots of silver at this booth. So pretty!

A few of my treasures. These little babies were a steal! Aren't they adorable?

These light switch covers are metal facings mounted on wood. Wouldn't they be so cute incorporated into a collage? Can't you just see some sweet little faces peeking out through the holes?

And this little china hat will be making its way to my Etsy. Perfect condition. It's just adorable!

Well that's it for today's trip to the antique fair. Hopefully I'll have one more trip to show you pictures and hopefully some purchases. I did get some great shell buttons at this sale, as well. Happy Hunting!

Show and Tell Sunday - Millinery Flowers!

Well, I'm a little late in jumping into this Show and Tell Sunday...... But I just LOVE the thought of it. Although I haven't been collecting millinery very long, I do love it and have to share a few of my pictures with you. Thank you Cerri from Little Pink Studio and Miss Analise from Sugar Sugar for hosting all of this fun.

The above picture is 3 of my favorite pink roses. I covered them with a pink veil, just for fun.

Heather, my daughter, gave me these delightful little violets. I just love them. So dainty! I put them on the saucer of a cup and saucer set Madai from Wren Cottage gave me in a recent swap. Don't they look so pretty?

And these sweet velvet flowers and dainty pink flowers sit in some new cups I bought at Preserve Cottage at her "April In Paris Tea Party" this past weekend. Just love the cups, they are just so sweet.

Well, Don't mind how I uploaded these pictures. I had the alignment set wrong. But, here's a new hat I just bought from Cottage at Doe Hill. Love the very pale pink flowers mixed with the white.

This is all my "pinks" that I dumped into a beautiful pot. They look scrumptious together, don't they? The pink velvet one on the top is my all time favorite.

Well, that's it for me, girls. I will have a ball going around looking at everyone's millinery! Enjoy!
