Welcome Spring!

Hello Spring! Welcome back!


My house is decorated for Spring and Easter. Along the way I have found some more vintage Easter treasures.


I have started a new collection. Vintage floral paintings.


Vintage Easter treasures are getting harder to find. I'm so glad that these are a part of my collection.


And these.....


I'm always on the lookout....


I have a large collection of eggs.


While vending at the Elgin High School Flea Market on March 10th, I found this matching vintage Easter chick. Of course it came home with me! It's the one on the right.



I also found this chippy white metal shelf. I cleaned out my area by the basement window and it looks perfect there.


Speaking of the flea market, here are some highlights of my space. It was a wonderful day with record breaking attendance.



Here is the before....


Good thing the after didn't look like this!

Now I know that I have many collections. That's what I do. But, I had been looking for a mannequin head for quite some time. Until I found this one...


She is amazing!


She fits in with the vintage jewelry displays.


My next market is on April 12th. It's a Friday night from 4-9pm in McHenry at Smith's Central Garage. It's a curated event with vintage, artisan, reclaimed and food. It's going to be great!



April 6th is Gardenfest at McHenry County College in Crystal Lake. It's from 8-4. A full day of gardening classes with keynote speaker Dale Sievert who will speak on his award winning moss garden in Waukesha WI.  

April 13th is Washington Street Market at the Naperville High School in Naperville. 



Happy treasure hunting!
