It's the middle of summer and I'm already planning my fall space redo at Carriage House Antiques this weekend. It's retail and I have to keep up with the other stores. I'll wait awhile before changing my home though to pumpkins.
I did change a few areas in my house recently. I found two fabulous paintings at an estate sale and knew I wanted to keep them. Plus, I had purchased a really great hall cabinet and loved it too much to sell. So, they went into my living room near my bookcases...
Estate sales have been plentiful! I have been having a great time with my loot shoots....
I'm always happy to find Christmas Santa mugs!
There's that other painting that I kept. I had the perfect frame for it and it now hangs in my laundry area. Can you believe that the plaid tote was FREE! I couldn't either but I can't wait to use it at Christmastime.
My son loves paint by numbers so these are hanging in his apartment. They were a good find since paint by numbers can get pricey.
She's coming this weekend to my fall/Halloween space redo...
My picnic basket collection has grown. Not intentionally but how can I pass them up when the prices are soooo good! I use them to store my vintage Christmas crafting items...
I love the colors on these.
and this one....
More finds...
I love this watermelon basket but I haven't decided yet whether to keep it or sell it. The quilt is amazing! The colors are breathtaking. The lady lamp is also stunning. I haven't rewired it yet.
Today started out stormy but then the humidity kicked in. As I do every July, I work on creating Christmas decor on the hottest day. I put on Christmas music, turned on the air conditioner and spent the day making....
I know, I know. I'm putting in fall at the shop this weekend and I'm already thinking of Christmas. But you know me, I always have Christmas on my mind. I had a super fun day!
Keep going to those sales. There's still lots of garage sales, flea markets and estate sales.
Happy treasure hunting!
