Surgery Yesterday!

My sweet kitty underwent surgery yesterday!

I'm praying for a speedy recovery.

 

 



Where Has the Time Gone??

Hi Friends!!!

I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted here. What a whirlwind summer and fall!!
Yet we all feel that way - so I'm no different.

Besides doing shows, I now have some of my things in a sweet shop in Rockton, IL, called

The Rustic Rooster Antiques!!

 

It's exciting!! I'm just getting to know some of the other great gals who also have spaces in the shop.

I just took some new things up to the shop this week.

 

I've added several of these old gals. I love their stern looks! And the owl is a hoot!

 (Sorry, I couldn't resist!)

 

I love these wonderful TRICK or TREAT signs

made from corrugated metal roofing!

My SWEET hubby made them for me!

 

(remember - you can double click on any of the smaller photos to make them bigger)

 

Anyone out there love chalk ware?

How about this black cat!

I also have several pieces of Tea Leaf china with copper luster designs -

BEAUTIFUL for the autumn holidays!

And I added a great line of 100% soy candles with the CUTEST labels!

 

 

And what's fall without CARAMEL APPLES?!?!

(even if they are fake!)

 

I hope you are enjoying the

BLESSINGS & BEAUTY

 of AUTUMN!!

(Can you believe we got our first snow today- flying through the air against the backdrop of colored leaves! WOW!)

Getting Ready for the Vintage Market Show

Outside the weather is gray and gloomy
            but inside I am having fun getting ready for
                              the upcoming Vintage Market show.

If you live near Rockford, IL, I hope you'll join us. Fifteen vendors in a vintage home!
I'm sorting through so many treasures - deciding what goodies to share with the buyers at this sale.

                                I'll start with some WEDDING WHITES and SOFT PINKS.

            This Fenton fluted milk glass cake stand would be perfect for a wedding cake or cupcakes!

                                 I'll also be bringing lots of ironstone and mix-and-match dishes.
                                                  CREAMY WHITES and AGED SILVER!
                                                         

                                               
    

 

 

I know the sale is going to be wonderful! Such a wonderful group of gals with fabulous things!

I'm thrilled to be a part of it.

Be sure to go on Facebook and check out "The Vintage Market".

Visit Post Road Vintage!

Is it still snowy where you live? Here in my neck of the woods we received another beautiful layer of the white stuff last night. *The big, fluffy, fairyland kind!* 

However...if your aching for some spring weather - aching to get outside and dig in the dirt - having spring fever and just needing a change - head over for a visit at Heather's blog.

She's hosting a give-away this week! Hold onto your hats...(drum roll)... she's giving away a chance to win a whole year's worth of her FABULOUS magazine!! Yes, you heard correctly! Her magazine is wonderful so don't miss out!

                                                      Just click on the link below.

Found Goodies

Yes, the snow remains here in Northern IL. It's lovely to look at...from inside the cozy warmth of the house, but it does create a bit of cabin fever. So an outing was in order.

Here are the goodies that I picked up a few weeks ago with some of my Christmas money. It was such a treat to be out and about and spoil myself a little!

 a neat wire basket, 2 ricers - one for me and one for my etsy shop, a spool of twine with wonderful repro scissors, a wooden finial - that I plan to add to another project soon, a wire egg separator, some lovely faux greenery - just in time to give the house a spring sprucing, a wooden paddle mold - for sugar - I think, a beautiful piece of tin bake ware, a bail-handled graniteware pail (and a parrrr-tridge in a pear tree).

I need another graniteware pail like a hole in the head but then... I am Graniteware Gal.  :  )
                                                        Have a great day!!
