Valley Vintage Market

Here they are...The pictures of my booth at Valley Vintage Market.  With windows in the back of the spaces it made it hard for me to get great pictures but heck at least I took some.  :)

Well....at least I took some of MY space...I have know idea why I didn't take any of the others....

I guess I was just to darn excited!!  This was my first time at a vintage market.

It was so much fun and I met some wonderful people!

Anyway ...What do you think of my gray dresser?  I used Miss Mustard Seed's milk paint on it, but then added some rain water and grey over that. I used a chip brush and just kind of crisis crossed the paint as I went.  

I heavily distressed it and then added the numbers from The Graphics Fairy using the Mod Podge transfer method...You can find my tutorial here.

I had a little bit of everything there...I will give you more detailed tutorials for some of things later this month.

I sold this lovey vintage typewriter to the nicest people on the first day...(I'm always the saddest to see my typewriters go...but I know this one went to a good home)!

The cutest young couple wanted my burlap lampshade so bad, that I told them if the came back late Saturday and the lamp hadn't sold yet I would just sell them the shade...

Time to make a new shade!  :)

My jewelry went well too....Which is a good thing, because I really do enjoy making them!!!

My spoon and hardware jewelry were displayed on my dress form...

(She may not be the most glamours thing, but I got her free on the side of the road and she's become a true friend....The kind that is always willing to help out).

My domino pendants were displayed in a variety of ways.  :)

My Drexel side table was my first piece of furniture to sell...not a surprise...It was lovely!!

Did you notice the hat rack/jewelry holders on the back wall?  Bryan and I scored a whole bunch of faucet handles in a box at an estate sale...The oar or (hee-hee)  is it a paddle? I also turned into a hat rack...I wish there was a better way to display it...I think it got lost back there.

I will do a tutorial on my burlap bags and pumpkins later this week.

Well....I had a blast both getting ready for and doing the market!!

They do have a web site; Valley Vintage Market  so check it out!!
The next sale is October 18 and 19...I plan on being there.  :0
And as always
Thanks for visiting...I will be linking up to many of the parties on my side bar.

Cheers!

Thrifty Finds

I went out "Garage Selling" on Friday and just had to share my AWESOME FINDS....Sigh

To be honest it didn't start out that well.  The first place I hit was already picked over and it had some great vintage things...I was there right at 8:00 but I guess I should have showed up early.  (I have a hard time doing that...If they say 8 I don't mind being a little early but it doesn't seem polite to be too early).

Anyway the third place I hit opened at 9:00 and I just happened to drive by as they were putting the sign up...It was a long dirt drive and no one would have found it with out signage.....

Being the first makes all the difference!

Look at all my goodies...

And to be honest this isn't all of it.  I forgot to put the decoys and the  books in my first photo....

I didn't take an individual  picture of it...but look at the wire shopping basket.  I'm to going to line it with fabric....Can't wait!!!

I got two typewriters the blue one is my favorite!!  I LOVE the Mid Century Modern shape!!! And it's in great condition...Do I have to sell it?

This baby's a bit older.....It's gray with green keys and has a cool leather covered case.

Check out this way cool, green Train Case (I have such a thing for vintage suitcases)!  Anyway it's in awesome condition...I just had to glue the lining in a couple spots but other than that it is down right perfect!!!  Again I want to keep it!  :)

Do you know what those green things are we found in it?  Neither did I, but the family had a great time guessing!  In the end Garret and Drew were the ones who figured it out ...They're shoe stretchers....

I also got two TV Trays with stand.  :)

Found these knives in a basket of silverware I purchased...

And here's one of the Decoys.  I come from a long family of duck hunters,,,My dad would have loved these!!  They came in a burlap grain sack that I will use elsewhere.

Well...How about you any great find lately?  I would love to here about them!!

Will be linking up to many of the parties on my side bar...Do check them out ...You won't regret it!
