She Shed or Grandma House

Off to an all day wedding celebration so I'll quickly share pictures of my friend Jill's gramma house. I took them this morning while out walking with my friend Ginny. 

So many bits of memories. The shutters are cut down louvered doors from her childhood home. 

The wonderfully rusted corrugated steel was from her husband's father's barn!!  

The rusted star matches it perfectly. 

As does the rusted wheel! 

Patio ware completes her pastel vs rust palate. I love the effect. But then Jill is such an artist! 

The columns were spotted while walking with a friend and purchased from a lady she used to babysit for. 

Best of all this is a millstone from our small town's flour mill where her husband's grandfather worked. 

I like the weaving of memories into her sleepover cottage!  It's kind of a 3D scrapbook that guarantees grandma stories for another generation. 

North2South Vintage Market

This past weekend my friend Ann and I headed to Hoytsville on our semiannual antiqueing jaunt. 

For years we have gone to Hoytsville for a market called the Vintage Market!  I found this sweet vintage market by accident when attending an estate sale in this small town on the way to Wyoming.   

I've returned again and again because being way out in the country the prices for vintage and antique goodies were about half of what you'd pay for the same goodies in town, still it's only a half an hour or so from the south end of Foothill Drive in Salt Lake.  (This picture is of the Vintage Market) 

Last fall one of the two girls running it, Kathy, on the right in this old picture, moved out of state and that finished the fun of vintage goodness in Hoytsville, or so we thought ...

Happily the remaining partner joined up with two more talented women in the North2South Vintage Market at a new local!! 

Fortunately Teena alerted the old mailing list of the new market.  This amazing buffet was marked $125. But alas since I'm leaving the country this fall I've vowed to buy no furniture for resale, so I left it behind. 

There was so much good furniture thus priced it was so hard to it leave behind, 

however I did gather some 1960s exlibris Doctor  Suess books for a dollar each (pinch me) 

The stunning two tone 1940's drop leaf desk on the right was also $125. 

These girls have great style ! 

And mountains of goodies. 

Lots of fabulous chalk painted furniture! 

And adorable Decor bits.  

Pretty much something for everyone!! 

Teena's Frenchie corner was my favorite!! 

and what an adorable tutu banner!  How charming is that?  

Do you suspect me of sharing this hidden treasure only because I won't be here for their next 3 sales?  Then you would be correct!  To get on their mailing list for fall contact them:  the Email for north2south vintage market is maggie.judi@gmail.com 

Saying Goodbye to 3Dotters

It's hard to believe that I just finished up my last 3dotters show. I'm leaving the country in September for a year and a half and her next show is in October!  

Here are some shots of my booth. I loved the figural flower frog in a cloche jar. 

This is my white and garden area.

The baby goods area. 

The back wall is filled with Windows, wire baskets and assorted plant stands.

The blue area! 

The red area and ... 

the crafting smalls area. 

Here's the German silver glass glitter I bottled. I love this stuff especially when it tarnishes. 

This is my friend Lyn's cute booth. 

This one is Jennine's, a sometimes Fleaology dealer.  I love her style. 

Jenn of 3 Dotters  always has fun displays. 

She's a huge fan of cubbies. 

Adorable banners. I'm a fan! 

And a wagon full time of old door knobs!! YES!! 

Here's the main floor from the second floor area. 

This is my friend Jessica's booth. 

And this is Jessica after the sale loading up. Yep, this is no business for sissies. I also impressed with her ingenuity! 

Well that's my last 3dotters for a long while. I have 3 Fleaology markets, to go, including the one on May 7th!! Wish me well!
