Vintage Black Friday, Indulge me... AND a Blogaversary!

Vintage Black Friday is here again hosted by Jill at Gypsy Brocante, and before fall slips away into a sea of Wonderful White Christmas, I thought I'd share a little impromptu vignette, that I pulled together on my coffee table in the sitting area of my lower level family area.

My favorite part of having booth space at a flea market is the ability to satisfy the urge to create vignettes. My house looks like a "store" at times, so I have to try to tone it down...hard, very hard! These are a few pictures of things I grabbed from around the house and "staged" here for some fun.

Here's a little black wagon with some fall produce, and a black gothic stand holding my big chippy chalk squirrel bank.

A great little vintage black floral tray holding nesting boxes, a black teapot "for one", and a fruit print that is usually in my kitchen.

Don't you just love the cut-outs

on this little gothic hexagonal stand?!!

Kind of has a Moroccan feel to it.

This is one of a set of very small "pocket books" that I found at a flea market this summer. It is collected poems of Edgar Allen Poe.

And an UPDATE: My inspiration, Theresa of Garden Antiques Vintage is having her 3 Year Blogaversary Party. Run on over and check out her great post. She's planning a great PAR-TAY and give-away to celebrate! Happy Anniversary "Sweet T"!!!

Now, I've got to get busy with some last minute
things since I have the kids coming from St. Louis and

 my husband's brother and his wife coming from Texas.

I'll see you in a few days.

Gots to love on my kids!!

 Hope you are having a "Wonder-Fall" time of the year.

 I know I am! I'm savoring every moment!

A Special Invitation

I have a special invitation to all of you friends who read this blog. Last week I started a new on-line Bible Study. It's more of a time to share thoughts and ideas on what God is doing in my life. There are a few of us that have really enjoyed our time together. We've had a place to share experiences and open up interactive conversations about our lives, our hearts, and our relationships with God.

There's no work involved, you don't have to "sign on" to participate, and I'd love to have you drop by...and maybe say "Hello". So if you'd like to have a place to share your thoughts, and your faith, or maybe just a place to go to get a little taste of the Word, then come for a visit. The link will always be on my side bar.

 Hope to see you there!
