I am hereby "turning over a new leaf" and attempting to post more often. <b>BACK IN THE GROOVE</b>, so to speak. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This past week has been busy with finishing up pending projects and getting them to the shop. This has been a wonderfully warm and sunny summer here in the Pacific Northwest, so there were lots of days of painting, repairing and prepping, as well as gathering treasures. I think it is always important to have a fresh look in my space, and particularly important as furniture and smalls are sold, creating bare spots! I've been fortunate that this summer has brought lots of buyers and bare spots. </div>
<div>
<br /><div>
Here are some of the fruits of my labor. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This wonderful<b> OIL PAINTING </b>on canvas of a primitive style girl and her kitty is sure to make a statement on your wall. I have always loved folk art, and this piece really spoke to me. </div>

New to the space too, is this cute little lidded bin <b>STORAGE BOX.</b> It is painted black with distressing on it. It has ventilation holes in the bottom, so it could be used as a clothes hamper, a vegetable bin, waste receptacle etc. When I found it, a large box of laundry detergent was housed inside. I love it when items are used so creatively! Oh, I just thought of another display possibility- how about filling it with tall grasses or branches, surrounding it with pumpkins and placing it by your front door as a pretty Fall welcome?</div>

We can all use more options for storage, and this <b>CUTE DRESSER</b> with the pretty detail fits the bill! Such a versatile piece this is. It could be used as a night stand, an end table, as a dropping off spot in your entry way for keys and mail and a number of other places in your home. The three drawers offer a lot of storage space. It's painted with chalk paint in a blue and creamy white and distressed to show off the carving detail. I'll bet you can find a spot for it. </div>

Up next, lots of vintage hand crocheted trims. I am always awestruck at the time and patience that went into creating these works of art many decades ago. There is also a so precious child's dress, that dates to the 1880's. These will be pictured in the next blog and going to the shop soon!. Stay tuned....</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I so appreciate your visit and hope that if you are in the area, you will stop by to see these treasures in person. If I'm in the booth (usually a couple of times a week) stop and say hello. I love to chat!</div>

<br />
First off, I added some spots of the <b>red,white and blue</b> to my normally black and white booth. I think the red really looks nice with the black. I don't normally buy a lot of red, so I was surprised when I started gathering things from my stash, to discover that I had quite a bit. There are lots of flags, some red candles, a lamp with a red shade, along with an<b> abundance</b> of blue and white plates. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A black table gets a new display treatment too, with a tiered server holding plates, some blue glassware, a pretty vintage blue and white tablecloth, <b>old cobalt blue bottles</b> and more red candles</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A white display table and shelves are full of more flags, spools from an old textile mill, a ruffled red and white check round cloth in a nice old basket, and a cute little <b>red spice rack </b>to use with milk glass jars or any other fun items.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Over in the lighter colored booth, there are <b>lots</b> of changes. First off, you'll notice a<b> boat</b> shaped display shelf that was a store display and held Widmer Brothers Drifter Pale Ale. Wouldn't this be great in a <b>Man </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Cave</b>? It has the Widmer logo on both sides and at the top of the boat. This could easily be painted over if you wanted it another color. It would be a fun addition to a little boy's bedroom, filled with games and toys. I'm showing it here with some more <b>masculine items</b>.....some antlers, a souvenir mug from the old Portland Meadows race track, some game boards. I think this would make a terrific bar too, with plenty of room for glassware, bottles of favorite beverages etc. Do you see that cute little aqua colored<b> canister vacuum</b> on the floor? This vintage gem still works! </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A newly acquired treasure is an old <b>seltzer bottle</b> with the wire covering. This bottle, from New York, is very heavy- the glass was made in Czechoslovakia. It's a handsome piece to add to a collection, or as a stand alone piece.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And speaking of pictures, one wall boasts a <b>bevy of plain picture frames,</b> within frames. I love to create this look; it is so much fun to layer and put a small plate or wall vase or other interesting piece inside a frame.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On a large frame, a treasured baby dress or baby shoes would be a fun addition, or pin up some pretty sheet music within a frame. You get the idea! I'll bet you can think of all kinds of ideas. I thought I had a photo of the wall with the frames, but guess not. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope you'll have a chance to<b> come by and see </b>all of the new additions. The other dealers have been busy in their spaces too, so you are bound to find inspiration as well as some fun vintage and antique treasures. There truly is <b>something for everybody</b> at the Stars and Splendid Malls and the newest addition, Stars Too, all within the same block! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I can also see this piece being used in a living room or great room holding a plant, some books, favorite pictures or other treasures of your own. It has great storage, with 2 drawers, and shelves behind the 2 doors below. This could be a perfect piece in a child's room to hold toys and games. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also new are some soft green pieces that could be used in multiple ways...as end tables, nightstands, also giving you storage space. </div>

I think these are quite a conversation<br />
starter. They look rather mundane, but have an interesting story to tell. Their shape, a fairly wide mouth<br />
with no neck, on a rather square bottle, easily identifies these as snuff bottles. They were made this way to make it easy to reach in for a dip of snuff! They are marked on the bottom with various raised dots, which<br />
are an indicator of the strength of the snuff inside. The more dots, the <b>stronger</b> the snuff. This helped the workers who were filling the bottles before labels were attached, to know which strength to put in which bottle, as well as the consumer, who might have been<b> illiterate</b> and unable to read the label to determine the strength. I'm told that bottles with 5 or 6 dots (I've not found any of these) indicated the strongest strength and would only have been<b> chewed, </b>whereas the lesser strengths were<b> "sniffed".</b> I understand that elderly women used the snuff as well as men! Doesn't this conjure up quite an image of a little old lady in her rocker, sitting on her porch, <b>"chawin and spittin"</b> ? I'm told that these bottles and their contents were most prevalent in the Southern part of the United States. <br />
<br />
Now we aren't likely to buy or carry our snuff in these<b> today,</b> but I think they make a fun little<b> vase filled with flowers</b> marching down the table. You could also store spices in them and cork them, use them for altered art, storing beads, buttons etc. All in all, I think they are a<b> unique little item</b> to perhaps pair with other amber bottles or glassware. And think of the dinner table conversation you could have!!! You'll find these at <b>Splendid Antique Mall </b>on Milwaukie Avenue in the Sellwood/Westmoreland area. I'm in space #62.<br />

While cleaning out drawers and closets recently, (this is the time of year for that, isn't it?) I came across a lot of small things that would tend to get lost in my booths, so I decided to package them and hang on a spinner rack. There are all kinds of things, from miniatures to display in a printer's tray or collector's box.....<br />

So I gathered my supplies and got right to it. <br />
<br />

<br />
Some sugar, water, spices, canned pumpkin puree . Magically, this turns into a wonderful syrup after cooking for a bit. Add the VODKA and then into the fridge for a couple of days or in my case, a COUPLE OF HOURS (tee hee) Then you simply mix equal parts of the pumpkin liqueur, half and half (I used fat free Half & Half) and Vanilla Vodka. Shake with ice, strain and top with freshly grated nutmeg. OHMYGOSH! It is so good!<br />
<br />

<br />
I had canned pumpkin leftover, so not one to waste, I made PUMPKIN COOKIES and frosted them with a browned butter glaze....these are pretty darn tasty too! Now I just need to get them out of the house so that I'm not tempted to eat many MORE of them. I'm sure my grandson will welcome a treat. <br />

I'm thinking I might give some of that PUMPKIN LIQUEUR for little Christmas gifts. Wouldn't it be cute to put some in pretty bottles with a tag and recipe attached....maybe put it in a basket with a couple of martini glasses. Oh, no, I'll have to make more, and TASTE TEST it too;)<br />

I love it when I can find multiples of something; it makes a much more interesting display and offers choices to the customer. <br />
<br />
These BEAUTIFUL hand embroidered and crocheted pillowcases had been stashed away for years in an attic. After a good soaking, laundering, some starch and ironing, they are ready for you to enjoy or give as a gift. I love seeing this wonderful handwork. When I was a young girl, I learned to embroider and later made pillowcases for my "HOPE CHEST"! That dates me, I know! I don't have the patience for that these days, but I am so full of admiration for the woman that created these pieces. <br />

This is only a PORTION of the pretty pieces that I purchased. There are MANY more pillowcases, and some lovely sheets that are embroidered as well. They are still in the "prep" stage, but will be joining this group at Splendid soon. <br />
<br />
I also found some wonderful OLD sheet music. Going through these beautiful old songs was truly nostalgic. I found myself singing to myself as I recalled my parents and their friends singing many of these. The covers are beautiful too! Wasn't Frank Sinatra pretty darn cute? Some of these would be beautiful framed.<br />

At another sale the same week-end, I found a wonderful collection of ITALIAN FRAMES. These are SO pretty and would make quite a statement with several hung on a wall together. They are white, so will go nicely in a romantic country, cottage or shabby setting. <br />

And finally, some cute little MUSLIN drawstring bags. I think they probably were some old unused store stock. They have a little drawstring to cinch them up. I think these would be fun to EMBELLISH with bits of lace, ribbon, a stencil, buttons etc. and give with a special little present inside. </div>

Thanks for stopping by. <br />

Since it is such a good buying and selling time, it's necessary to have lots of goodies to offer. This means using our time to search out the treasures and get them ready for our customers as quickly as we can. The long days of summer make this easier. It's an added bonus to be able to work outside in the sunshine.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once the treasure is found, there is often much preparation necessary to get it ready to sell. It must be cleaned, repaired, sometimes painted, waxed, polished, researched, cataloged, priced, and photographed for the blog. Finally</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">it is ready to put out there to hopefully be snapped up by someone that is going to think it is as cool as we did when we bought it! Sometimes we are lucky and the items found require only a minimum of preparation. This was the case with todays treasures. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Often times the picture taking gets left out, because I am so anxious to get the item to the shop. So today, camera in hand, I took some pictures of recent finds that I delivered to Stars & Splendid. </span><br />

Some vintage wooden hangers from hotels. I wonder who stayed at these hotels and used these hangers....which President was it that stayed at The Willard? Did the Wichita Lineman stop in at The Allis Hotel, and how many high rollers stayed at the hotel in Las Vegas? Did they leave with jingle in their pockets? Don't you wonder about the former lives of the treasures you find?<br />

I found a bunch of these wonderful old blue glass canning jars-they are great for storing dried foods in your cupboard, holding a collection of buttons, marbles, game pieces etc. I have them in pints, quarts and half gallons. Some have glass tops with wire fasteners, others have the old zinc lids. All are highly desirable and priced to sell. </div>

This old galvanized can is from Union Oil and has the lid attached. There are a couple of rusty crusty cowbells, and a wonderful old rusty wire basket. It holds an instant collection of old brushes- sold individually.<br />
<br />
I hope you have enjoyed browsing through my latest additions. There is a lot more "in the works"<br />
(you know, the repairing, polishing, painting, etc.) so I hope you will stay tuned. I'd love to have you stop by my booths and check out the other goodies I've found, but didn't manage to get pictures of. <br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by. <br />

This black table with its curvy legs would be beautiful in an entryway, in front of a window, or as an accent piece in almost any room. It is topped with white Italian marble. It offers so many display possibilities. I think it adds a touch of glamour, don't you?<br />

This little black end table, nightstand, go-anywhere piece, is also very versatile. It has some great storage inside.....<br />

I can see this being used to store all of those magazines that you can't <em>bear</em> to throw away! At least<em> I</em> seem to have quite a collection. It could hold the newspaper, treasured books, scrapbooking or craft supplies, files in your office....I'm sure you'll think of other uses. <br />

I took in more spools from an old textile mill in Pennsylvania. I love these grouped together, where the various sizes and shapes can be admired, or used like this...<br />

They can hold a plant, be a candle holder, display a hat, have lace wrapped around them for a feminine look, hold wrapped twine for your potting bench etc. Hurry, though, these sell quickly and my supply is dwindling.<br />
<br />
On a more rustic note, here are some pieces you might want to put in your garden. <br />

This great old bench is so charmingly weathered and worn. It's been painted long ago in white and then a green. At some point someone, probably a child, has pounded a <strong>bunch</strong> of nails in the top. Do you suppose young he or she was working in the garage with Mom or Dad? Practicing with his hammer? I left the nails in place. I thought it was sweet and gave the bench a story. This bench could be used inside; maybe with a stack of other benches, or as a coffee table? How about even using it to sit on!!<br />

I love this old set of drawers. The layers of paint on it give it just the right shabby look, so the only thing I did to it was give it a coat of wax. I hope someone will have fun filling these drawers!<br />

And lastly, here is a pretty pedestal to showcase a plant, a piece of statuary, or to just tuck in among your plantings. I think pieces like this add a lot of interest to a flower bed. If you wanted to use it inside, you could top it with a piece of glass and it becomes a table!<br />
<br />

This gem is over 100 years old and has seen lots of duty. It is in remarkably good shape and ready to give many more years of service. It would be terrific as an accent in your yard, calling out to everyone that the barbeque is on. The bell rings loud and clear! <br />

I like bouquets of them in the house, I like them in the foundation plantings and in softly curved beds around my yard. I like them hanging in baskets on my deck. I like them gracing a patio table and I like them in pots. Perhaps I most enjoy finding interesting objects in which to plant the flowers, and if they are vintage that is just an added bonus. A trip to your local nursery will reward you with oodles of flower choices for planting. Here are a few containers I found interesting. I just restocked my spaces at Splendid, and you will find these items there. <br />

Now this little chair is really cute, but with no seat, it lacks functionality. So, let's plant it...I've provided the pot for you. Add an old galvanized bucket planted and a cute cement duck and you have a really cheery spot!<br />

Use a wire basket to corral your clay pots or garden accessories. This would make a pretty statement on a potting table or bench. <br />

I found these two handmade planters at an estate sale. Aren't they cute? They can sit on a table, or bench, or there are holes at the top to string wire through to hang them. It's fun to imagine stories to go with the simple treasures like these. Did the man of the house make these for his wife to enjoy? Maybe it was her birthday, or some other special occasion. I wonder what <em>she</em> planted in them.<br />
<br />
You may already have some fun things to use as interesting planters, but if not, stop by my spaces at Stars & Splendid in the West Moreland/Sellwood area and find something that catches your eye. <br />
<br />
Happy Planting! <br />

On vacation recently, a sunny afternoon was spent exploring the charming ghost town of Bannack, Montana, located in the very beautiful scenic south western part of the state. This once bustling gold mining town, established in 1862, boasted a population of 3,000 at it's peak, and included hotels, a county courthouse, stores, assay office, saloons, a Masonic Lodge, school, jail, miners cabins and family residences. This was a booming community, and the gold was plentiful. <br />
<br />
This is said to have been a rough and tumble mining town, with it's share of crime and punishment.<br />
In the early days the town was made up of mostly single men, intent on making their fortunes. That first winter, between 1862 and 1863 of the 400 or so people living in town, only about 30-35 were said to be "respectable" women!<br />
<br />
As the years went by and the town became more populated, there were more opportunities to socialize. There were dances, religious meetings, picnics, skating on nearby Grasshopper Creek and even a baseball team. Businesses thrived.<br />
<br />
As the gold deposits played out the population began to decline, and by 1950, Bannack, which had once been the capital of the Territory of Montana, was mostly abandoned.<br />
<br />Over the years an effort was made to preserve the town site and some of the Bannack buildings. In 1954 the property was donated to the State of Montana with the stipulation that the town was to be<em> preserved,</em> with the ghost town atmosphere. Today, you are able to walk the streets and boardwalks and go into many of the old buildings. You can get a glimpse of what life must have been like in those early days. <br />
So, come take a stroll with me through the streets and boardwalks of Bannack......we'll even go in some buildings! <br />

I love this old door! And look at the logs with the chinking between them. There are remnants of old fabric on the walls, used to keep out the draft. Can't you just imagine how cold it must have been in the winter? <br />

The jails of Bannack. The guidebook says that during the peak of the gold rush, the jails were seldom used. No one wanted to guard the prisoners, when they could be working their claims. So, the offenders were warned, run out of town or hanged! I hope the sheriff doesn't come along and throw my daughter, grand-dog and son-in-law in the hoosegow!</div>

And here is the schoolhouse. The first floor was for school and the second floor was the Masonic Temple. The combination lodge and school was built in 1874 and the school operated until the early 1950's. Upstairs, inside the Masonic temple you will see the historically correct furniture and equipment properly arranged for a lodge in the 1800s. This is now the Bannack Historic Lodge, and is active with members around the world who help with the preservation of this and other buildings in Bannack. </div>

And lastly on our stroll down the boardwalks of Bannack we stop to look at the mining artifacts, representing beginning with the the first discovery of placer gold and lode deposits in 1862 until World War II when all non-essential mining was prohibited. After the war, placer and hard rock mining resumed sporadically in this area. Today a few small mines operate downstream from Bannack.</div>

Why not stop by Stars & Splendid to see what's new. <br />
<br />
Here are a few more goodies that I took in recently. <br />
<br />
This pretty chandelier would look elegant in any room.<br />

I'm loving this little black rolling cart. I've shown it as a barcart to hold all of your bar supplies, such as glassware, bottles etc., but it can easily be a teacart, or used in an office for printer, paper, or most anywhere that would benefit from a rolling storage piece. </div>

Isn't this 1930's Skeezix doll from the comic strip Gasoline Alley a cutie? He's made of oilcloth. <br />

How about a headboard or two? Attach one to wall for a twin bed, or two side by side for a king size. There is a bench for the foot of the bed, and a bentwood chair as well. <br />

Back over in the girly booth, you'll find this sweet little slipper chair. This would be perfect paired with the white dresser shown earlier, and/or the little 4 drawer chest shown behind it. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiglfQhFLdvlXzPkukQLVnxnCRHznVebAexp5lqKllxyrCffOhAjrltLN4qBKZnMlv5Dawyz7q30XvxGVZuC_HVSh9d6YbFj3I1Qq4gXT1fWdlHSOCavavvQHJQ8aSpu046KPvYYtK1gxps/s1600/007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiglfQhFLdvlXzPkukQLVnxnCRHznVebAexp5lqKllxyrCffOhAjrltLN4qBKZnMlv5Dawyz7q30XvxGVZuC_HVSh9d6YbFj3I1Qq4gXT1fWdlHSOCavavvQHJQ8aSpu046KPvYYtK1gxps/s320/007.JPG" width="240" /></a><br />

I found the most darling little child's drop waist dress. It would be an adorable wall hanging. It is made of eyelet with lots of tucks and lace trim. The photo doesn't do it justice. <br />

I've admired them in farmer's fields, alongside barns, clad in shingles, in paintings of Holland--you name it! Knowing that I would not have room for a <em>real working windmill,</em> I would settle for one that was garden size. So you can imagine my delight when I saw that my favorite auction house was offering up a windmill. Oh, I do love a good auction and the windmill was calling my name. <br />
<br />
Heart racing, I drove down to the auction to preview what I hoped would be mine. It was <em>perfect!</em><br />
It stood a little over 8 feet tall (yes, it would fit in the back of the pickup), would look great in my space at Splendid with some other yard art for Spring/Summer presentation <em>OR<strong> </strong></em>it would be a wonderful addition to my own backyard. You can't see it in the picture, but one of the blades is curled up a bit. Soooo cute!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
So, I mentally determined what my top bid would be and sat back and watched to see who my competition might be in bidding. Would it be the lady that was looking at it longingly? Was she imagining it in <em>her </em>garden? Or the man who was carefully examining it; would he be a competitor?<br />
Maybe it was the guy who was looking at it nonchalantly. Was he serious, but trying not to show his hand? <br />
<br />
The windmill was almost the last item on the long list of goodies to be auctioned. Finally it came up and the bidding started briskly. I was so caught up in my own strategy of winning, that I didn't even look around to see who my competition was! Finally the auctioneer pounded his gavel and I WAS THE HIGH BIDDER!!!!!! The windmill was mine!!<br />
<br />
For now, it is nestled among the rhododendrons in my backyard and I have been thoroughly enjoying watching the blades go round in the wind. It remains to be seen if it will actually end up in my booth at Splendid. Perhaps, but I might need to enjoy it for awhile myself!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">a little cutie that I took in to Splendid this week. This would</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> make a fun end table, a useful little coffee square</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> in front </span><span style="font-family: Georgia;"> of the sofa, beside or at the foot</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"> of a bed or an</span><span style="font-family: Georgia;"> accent in numerous </span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">other places. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">It has a lift top</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"> lid, and I papered </span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">the inside of the lid with a collage</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">of old newpaper clippings from The Household, September 1916.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">There are lots of fun ads. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"> I can see this little piece being used</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">to store pillows, magazines, throws for these chilly nights..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">it could hold </span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">all kinds of things. You could</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">even leave the lid open, as I show in the picture!</span></div>

I really like this little lamp. It can hang on the wall (remove the shade) and has a swivel neck so the light can be directed wherever you need it. Cute, huh? I know, it's not a very good picture, but maybe you can get an idea of what it looks like. The base is kind of a bronze colored metal. <br />
<br />

Vintage suitcases are a favorite of mine. There are so many uses for these old relics, so I was thrilled to find several while out treasure hunting recently. They are great for storing all sorts of things, like craft supplies, out of season clothing, extra bedding. And while they are busy storing things for you, how about spiffing up a neglected corner of the room by creating a little vignette with the suitcases as the focal point and adding in a plant, some candle holders, or some other accessories. <br />

I'm sure you will find all sorts of fun things to do with one or more of these! You'll find them in my space at Stars & Splendid. <br />
<br />
Don't forget to put the Haggle with the Dealers Sale on your calendar for January 14th, 15th and 16th at both of the Stars Antique Malls. There will be some amazing deals to be had!!

There will be four generations of our family at the table this year, ranging from age 4 to almost 94. We'll all join in singing Over the River and Through the Woods, followed by the Doxology. My brother (he and his wife are our most gracious host and hostess) will offer up a meaningful prayer. And then it's time to dig in to that glorious feast! We have all contributed our own specialties; the cornbread casserole, the home-made rolls, the sausage stuffing, the gorgeous turkey and gravy, the comb honey (it originally came from beehives on my grandparent's farm-now we find it at farm stands), the wonderful pies, cakes and decorated cookies and so much more. <br />

There will be much talk of Thanksgivings past...the elder members recalling of time going to <em>their</em> grandparent's home in Wilsonville and crossing the Willamette River by ferry. There will be updates of family geneology from my cousin, the historian in the group. The younger family members like to hear tales of our ancestors arriving here in Oregon by wagon train. There are pictures to be taken-and each year added to the photo albums of previous Thanksgivings. What fun seeing how the kids have grown and clothing and hairstyles have changed!<br />

And finally, it's time for the Silent Auction! This was begun by my grandmother years ago. After the able was cleared she would fill it with "treasures" that she wanted to share. This was maybe a dried flower arrangement that she made, a bag of walnuts that Grandpa cracked, a piece of china to be handed down, old toys or games for the young ones. We were all given 10 points and paper and pencil to place our silent bids under the items displayed, with the highest bidder winning the item.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's a tradition that we continue to this day. Everyone brings contributions for the Silent Auction Table. What fun! Come to think of it, maybe that's where my love of auctions began!!</div>

We then moved in the heavy display pieces and larger furniture items for sale. Thanks so much, gals. I appreciate your willingness to help and your muscle. I've been busy stocking the shelves and hanging fun stuff on the walls. I am pleased and excited with the results, so far. I hope that others like it too!<br />

I am <em>soooo</em> excited, but there is much to do. I have been busily gathering treasures to offer. This space, which is located directly across the aisle from my existing space, will have a little different merchandise mix. I'm going for a bit more "girly" look, with lots of vintage pastels in both furniture and smalls. I hope that you will like it too. I envision it a little bit shabby, a little bit cottage, a tad bit of garden, with some flea market style thrown in. You see, I like it all! My existing space will continue to have some darker furniture and natural wood tones. This, of course, is all dependant on what I find out there while on "treasure hunts". What do you look for when hunting?<br />
<br />
Here are some of the pieces going to my new space. (This, providing I can get the pictures loaded in the right place. Arghhhhh- I'm still trying to learn this blogging business!!!)<br />
<br />
I <em>LOVE </em>this pink dresser-it's actually more of a chest on chest, with the top a separate piece. The little boudoir lamps with purple shades and dotted swiss overlay were a fun find. <br />

I'll be adding some pretty white petticoats, a sweet Victorian era white dress, and a charming little vintage child's ballet dress. Oops, guess I didn't get pics of the petticoats or ballet dress!<br />

This sweet Madonna yard ornament caught my eye. She has just the right amount of chippy white paint, revealing a bit of blue and dark red underneath. She's dated 1959. She'd make a nice addition to your winter garden, or would be pretty alongside your Christmas tree. </div>
