An Evening At The Auction!

(old 1960's cheerleading voters ballets in the school desk)

Well, I feel like I just got rid of a load of furniture for the Fall Show and here I'm starting to collect furniture for the Christmas Show.

Yes, that's right....Christmas, it will be here before you know it.

Friday night my #1 and I headed to the auction.

I had seen an old school table that I wanted.

Here's a picture of it at the auction house.

Since the competition was pretty high that night I waited till later in the evening to ask for the table to be brought up.

I was hoping the person bidding on practically every item would spend their wad and call it a night.

Unfortunately, that didn't happen but I did manage to get a few good pieces, the table being one of them.

Since Sundays are 1/2 off day at estate sales here in town, my #1 and I headed to one after church.

We actually found a nice old cabinet and these old wood embellishments.

Some of these are old light switch covers.

Some of these pieces will work perfectly to embellish a plain piece of furniture.

Chipped to perfection!

Hope your hunting week-end was successful!

Platters & Soap

Old white platters...

Don't you love them!

I've sold many and have only kept a few.

Sometimes I wish I would have kept many and sold only a few.

Homemade soap...

I like that too!

There was a time when I made soap... you know one of those many things that I just had to try!

But alas, I can't do everything!

But, it's fun to try!

Happy White Wednesday!

Be sure to pop over to Kathleens and visit all of the participants, you'll enjoy it!

Monticello Fall Premier Show

The Fall show will open at Monticello tomorrow morning at 10:00am.

I hope you will be able to come!

I'm finished setting up and I wanted to show you what I've been up to.

For starters I had a big project I needed my #1 to do for me.

I wanted him to build me a house out of old doors.

Since my space for the show was in the middle of the room there were no walls.

Well, he made me one and I couldn't be more pleased with it.

If you wondered what I did with the doors I picked up a couple of weeks ago, well this is it!

You really can't see the wonderful old doors and windows under the ruffled roof but they're there.

Here are some pictures around the little house.

Once you go inside this house here are a few things you'll find.

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking a little tour of my space.

Hope you have a great week-end!

White Wednesday & The Fall Show!

Things have been hopping around here!

I have been in full swing for the upcoming show at Monticello this week-end.

We started setting up for the show this past Saturday and continue to do so through Thursday.

Wow, what a show, everyone's areas look so beautiful!

If you can, be sure to stop by!

It will open this Friday, September 10th at 10:00am.

Now, on with White Wednesday.

Since things have been hectic around here I thought I'd show you a few images from my newest Jeanned'Arc Living magazine.

I don't think you can beat the beautiful images on these pages.

Such pretty whites!

Thank you Kathleen for hosting another White Wednesday!
