We had never been before and were told that this was a great one to go too!
And it was!
So for those of you that wanted to come but weren't able to.
Here are some photos.
If you're like me, I like lots of pictures!
I love to see everyone's displays.
And look who was helping out!
We had a great time!
It was fun to meet fellow bloggers as well as friends!
One of the things I found was a wonderful chippy metal display piece.
I'm not sure what you call it, but I do know that I really liked it!
I liked the fact that it had chippy paint with a bit of rust.
The scrolling metal was pretty nice as well.
It just screamed, "Take me home!"
I wasn't really sure what I was going to display in it.
I thought three old jars would be nice but I didn't have any.
Candles would also be nice, didn't have those either...at least three that matched.
I had three soup cans!
So, I decided to cover them with old paper and do a little stamping.
I then used one of my favorite crafting supplies, "Mod Podge"
Instant little vases!
I love finds like these!
I had to do a lot of digging as they were in an attic with lots and lots of bags of fabrics, linens and other things.
Those are my kind of sales!
I do love to dig!
Do you like old cane chairs?
I sure do!
I just recently found two of them in great condition.
Many times the cane has been pretty messed up.
I found this chair at the same sale where I found the flour sacks.
The chair was gold.
That had to go!
I envisioned it white!
I like it so much better now!
I've got so much to do to get ready for the Fall show at Monticello.
One chair done one more to go!
Here's a cane chair that I've had for awhile.
I recovered the seat on this one and added a soft feather cushion to it.
See the vintage crochet pillow.
I picked this up a few years ago.
When I looked inside of it I was surprised to find vintage nylons stockings.
An interesting way to stuff a pillow!
Hang onto those old stocking ladies you've just found a new use for them! (o:
Be sure to stop by Kathleen's of Faded Charm and visit all the wonderful White Wednesday blogs!
Well my family and I returned home from camping on Saturday.
We had a good time with family and just getting away from the normal routine.
Since we returned back to Portland around 2:30pm we were able to go to the tail end of a few sales.
This old metal box was one of my finds.
I'll try and release it from my fingers for the Fall Show.
I just love these old boxes.
I think the old aged tags that still remain are pretty sweet!
Another thing....books!
I think I have a fettish for books.
I'm not a book connoisseur but if they have the "right look" and they are old, I'll buy them!
That was the case this week-end.
I walked in the door and spotted these books right away!
A nice light grey cover.
There's about 27 of them.
circa 1920.
And look at those edges, I love edges like that!
The next few books I bought a couple of different places.
They are very tiny old books!
The smallest measuring 3".
All in browns and blacks.
Even though I wasn't able to hit the trail on Friday and early Saturday.
I did manage to pick up a few things and get my estate shopping fix!
Hope you did well in your shopping ventures!

Welcome to White Wednesday!
I thought I'd show you a few pictures I took in Central Oregon for my White Wednesday post.
I actually thought these were very large Dandelions but my #1 informed me they were Thistledown.
Sorry Honey, I'm just a city girl in cowboy country!
A little bit of Morning Glory growing up alongside our campsite!
Lastly, just a fun photo!
You know how it is, when you blog, everything is a picture!
Thank you Kathleen of Faded Charm for hosting White Wednesday!
It was a good week-end "treasure hunting"!
I was able to get out all three days!
While standing in line to pay for my items at an estate sale I went to on Friday.
I caught sight of a large piece of coral!
Wow, I didn't realize coral was so heavy!
Last time I saw a piece of coral I didn't purchase it.
I could have kicked myself!
This time I snagged it!
Hope you had a great week-end too!
