Some News and Thank Yous

In my last post I mentioned that my weekend was a blur.

We attended the Antiques Festival of the Ozarks

 at the Expo Center here in Springfield,

and if you didn't make it you missed a great show.

It was the first one and they are off to a great start.

Dealers from OK, Kansas City, Dallas...

not to mention some great local dealers like my buds

Brian and Meloney Russell from the Seed Box Antiques.

(photos coming soon!)

Hubbs and I made the rounds this weekend,

So I shopped till I dropped and found some really wonderful things.

These are just a few of the "white" things I grabbed for White Wednesday,

but I have a load of others.

I found a box of really old quilt blocks

that were made from feed sack material.

They need a little soaking,

but I couldn't resist!

They will become pillows and sachets

 when I can sit down long enough to make them.

There were a lot of these little embroidered pieces,

but they were stained and I have to work on them.

An old wedding invitation in a vintage frame.

several feed sacks for pillows

these crocheted pillows

And I couldn't resist these bluebird pillow cases.

Ditto for the good soaking....

(gee, do we detect a pillow theme going on here...?)

So now for the news...

I've found a great space at the new Relics Antique Mall

and I move in this weekend!!!!!

I'm running around like that little chicken.

trying to get my act together.

I'll be back for

 Vintage Inspiration Friday

hope you can join in!!!

Now for the "Thank You's!"

Thank you Laura from Decor to Adore

for the wonderful box of Valentine goodies,

And Thank You, Suzan from The Old Grey Mare 

 for the darling Valentine necklace,

I wore it every day since it arrived!!

 I'm linking up with these great parties.

Be sure and drop by for the fun!

Fall Comes to the "Creek"

It's Here!

Fall has arrived at my Spring Creek booth space.

Now if you don't count the temperature outside,

or the fact that it still says August on the calendar,

you wouldn't know the difference.

I grabbed my man with the muscle

(that would be the two-wheel dolly)

and we headed to Ozark to make the transformation.

While we were there several other dealers were putting

their own touch of fall on the place.

OK, I've said it a million times before,

and I will a million times more

but...

I just LOVE FALL!

I have renewed energy

and that feeling of wanting to cozy up the nest takes over.

I love the earth colors and subtle tones,

but I also love a big blast of

 ORANGE!

Nature inspired dishes, furnishings, and accessories

are all scattered around the space.

As you can see, I don't take myself too serious,

I can't resist an owl.

Vintage Postcard Prints and Magazine Cover Prints

 are a staple in my space.

While I was setting up, a well-dressed retired couple came by.

The lady was really interested in my vintage window with the bird prints.

She bent down and examined it with a thoughtful, loving, and appreciative eye.

She got her husband's attention

 and of course he had to comment on the fact

that he could " make something just like that"

( how many of us have heard that remark before?)

... with some photographs of birds that he had.

She shook her head in dismay,

and informed him that it just wouldn't be the same.

I hope she comes back for it without the hubby.

And since I don't want a "nekkid" dress form,

I'll be having a few pieces of my jewelry there also.

The Tea Room and store look especially fun this time of year.

There are a lot of great dealers with a wonderful mix of merchandise.

Hope you can make it by.

I'm linking up with Kathleen for White Wednesday

and just a reminder about the first

Vintage Inspiration Friday

next Thursday evening

September 2!
