Crazy Busy Over Here

 My world is crazy-busy right now with getting ready to move to a bigger mall space on August 1st PLUS getting ready for a huge destash yard sale in August.  Yes, I will be posting on Craig's List for those of you who are local. There will be loads of vintage. AND it is Summer time!
I haven't posted since the 4th of July so this is just a little phone dump for those of you who don't follow me on Instagram.
These are all blue plastic flowers except the upper right which is the real deal.  I am NOT fond of modern "silk" flowers that are not really silk but I adore the old plastic flowers.  They are harder to find than you would think.  Oh boy did my Mom hate those fake plastic flowers!

These are a few shots of the booth after the most recent fluff and stuff. Monticello Antique Marketplace is having a big sale July 14-17 and my booth is 25% off so I will have less to move from the old space to the new space (I hope!).
I hope you are having a great Summer!

Spring Wreath

I took a bunch of pictures of my little birdie figurines and was planning to post last night and link up to a couple of link parties but Blogger decided to take a break. At least I didn't lose a post like some people did! So... I decided to bag that until next week and show you a wreath I made this week to hang by the front door to welcome Spring inside.
You all know how I roll by now... get every bit of mileage I can before I give up and throw something away. This pink rose garland used to hang above my Mother's bedroom window. When I cleaned out her house 9 years ago I brought it home and draped it around the mirror on my dresser. This week I took it out in the backyard and hosed it off and it looked like there was a little mileage left so it will now hang by my front door for awhile. I wonder where it's next incarnation will be?? - LOL!
I hit one estate sale today, on my lunch break. Naturally I had limited time so I was "speed picking". Wouldn't you know what I found - for TWENTY FIVE CENTS! A pink Spring wreath. Well, I sure didn't need it but I sure wasn't leaving it behind!

I will just say it. My name is Kathy and I dig plastic flowers. There, the secret is out.

I have listened to people make fun of them since I was a little girl but I always thought they were pretty. The thickness of the petals reminds me of the frosting flowers on a cake. I'm not so sure I dig the silver and green Christmas balls so I might have to make some adjustments. Or just let it steep a while.

The weather is beautiful today and Annette mentioned she hoped I would take some pictures of my spring flowers. Tomorrow afternoon the rain is back for a week and a half so I figured I better grab at least one shot of this rhody while I have the chance. If you scroll back up to the plastic wreath in the chair you can also see one of the dark red azaleas blooming behind it. Don't look at the weed underneath it...
