Hello March!

We were teased by Mother Nature recently. I always start on the first few warm days to go through my winter clothes and put them away. It's always too early to do that but I can't wait any longer. So today, it's cold and rainy. I never learn!


I'm dreaming of warmer weather and all things spring!


I just love these vintage concrete chicks!  I have a collection of them now. I almost sold this wicker tray a few years back at the shop. I was so glad that no one wanted to buy it! It is one of my favorite pieces.


These faux flowers are so pretty in this French vase surrounded by those cute chicks.


This is the first of my vintage Easter. I still have a few more larger pieces to put out. I sold quite a few out of my collection recently at the shop. It was time to purge a few pieces. The rabbit candle was in my home when I was a little girl. I still have the original pillowcase that my mom stored it in.

Estate sales are picking up. Here are a few of my recent finds at different sales....


This was a garden themed pickin' sale... I kept a few flower frogs to add to my collection.


These estate sale finds were more mid century finds. I don't usually buy mid century but these needlepoint pictures were too great to pass up. The blue hamper is fabulous too!


I'm super excited to show you my springtime space at the Carriage House. I recovered the seats on these chairs in a vintage tablecloth that had a few holes in it. I love the springtime look they have! My whole space is set with planters, vases and floral paintings that scream springtime.

Our Spring Open House at the Carriage House is being planned for Mother's Day weekend. More and more garden/yard items will be coming into the shop. I have already started bringing in stuff. 

The schedules for upcoming flea markets are out. Check out my list of my favorite ones. I keep adding to it when I find new ones that I love.

Happy treasure hunting!
