Happy Pink Saturday!!

I hope you are all having a wonderful day! The weather here
in Georgia is warming up nicely! Time to enjoy the great flea
flea markets, yard sales, estate sales, auctions, whatever suits
your fancy! I thought I would share some pictures for "Pink
Saturday" (Remember, You can click on the pics to enlarge)
Pictured above is an awesome painted sign that
I bought from Jennifer of "The old painted cottage."

Shades of white...chippy white flower basket,
architectural corbels, and white McCoy vases
fill my favorite cabinet for a charming display
sure to please any shabby collector's eye!

Pink chalk ware bridesmaids, vintage pink McCoy vases,
with antique plates that I have collected for years!
Shabby eye candy, for sure! I never tire of vintage pink!!

Displayed with pretty bark cloth panels in the background
Is one of my vintage pink phones resting on a chippy pink
table that has the best patina!
Have you ever seen planters such as these? Hubby surprised
me one day, and brought these to me! Aren't they wonderful?
Hope you all have a wonderful....Happy Pink Saturday!!

White Wednesday

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, and Santa brought
everything that you wished for! My favorite of all my presents
is my new Nikon camera! Love it! So now I can post better pics
than before! It takes wonderful close-up shots! So here are some
pics for White Wednesday I hope you enjoy!
Recently found old white chippy statue..
Love the patina on this one!
Never enough vintage crocheted tablecloths...all
shades of white and wonderful detailed edges
on each one! I love the way they look just
layered in my favorite market cart!
You think you have seen this picture before,
but look closely..you will spot my favorite
birthday present! At the Scott's antique show,
hubby bought for me these two wonderful glass-
beaded light bulb covers! I have wanted some
of these, but were always too expensive on eBay.
Just before Christmas, I found this wonderful vintage
crocheted tablecloth for next to nothing at an estate sale!
Just experiencing with photo taking and love the antique
black & white look! Don't you? Well, only one more day left in this year!
Out with the old, and in with the new! I sure hope 2010
will be an awesome year for us all.....Happy New Year!!

I finally found a newel post, I have wanted one for the past
3 years, and at last for only 10.00 at an estate sale, I have one!

and some old cash register price tags complete this display!
Sweet little white pottery birds found for a song, sitting pretty
along side some of my ironstone collection....

Friday Morning, hubby and I decided it would fun to take a little road trip,
so we drove to Moultrie, Ga for a car show/flea market that he wanted to
check out, Then we were on our way to all the antique/junk stores that we
could find! The best stop we made was to "Alice and Jayne" in Sasser,Ga
A fun and whimsical shabby shoppe with loads of charm!
All decked out for the holidays, Shabby Vintage Style!
In the store window is the most fabulous architectural tree!
For more pictures of this fab tree and other store pictures
They have two shoppes side by side with a garden area as well.
Garden chairs, concrete birdbaths, handmade signs, etc..
When you first enter the store you will be taken away with
all the fabulous architectural finds, old windows, handmade lamps,
painted furniture, all vintage & shabby style!!
The first thing you will see upon entering, is this awesome tree covered in
twinkle lights! So beautiful and inviting! Who doesn't love these vintage
silver aluminum christmas trees! They really are fun to decorate, especially
in graduating sizes as pictured below!
Handmade signs are always a favorite! These two were my favorite!
Great colors and worn chippy paint, it doesn't get any better!

Let me introduce you to Faye and her sidekick Tater Tot
Both are super friendly and ready to greet you!

An overall view of one corner of this wonderful shoppe!
Lots of chandeliers, architectural finds, handmade christmas trees,

Vintage Finds!

Just a quick post, I thought I would share
a few vintage finds with you today...I just love
this vintage porcelain statue with pedestal
a wonderful find for 20.00!
The vintage white corner shelf was a steal
for 5.00, it was painted a dark green
but I knew it would look great.. once I painted
it white! I love the little scalloped edging at
the top...don't you?

It just makes the perfect display shelf for some
of my white McCoy pottery, vintage hats, and hatpins!
Just a few more finds....Love this old glass battery jar found for
just 3.00! I knew it would be perfect for displaying the lot of
vintage hand mirrors, brushes, etc.. found for only 10.00
for all! What a find! My heart skipped a beat when I found these
all at one yard sale! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Happy Junkin'
