Happy St. Patrick's Day! With so many cancellations due to the COVID-19 virus going around, I needed to find some happy thoughts today. After working on Gardenfest for 1 year, it obviously had to be cancelled due to the health concerns. I get that, but I was still devastated when it was cancelled.
Somehow, a walk in nature today around my yard, picking up sticks and throwing them into the woods, really helped my mood. That and the sun shining. I am truly blessed! I just need to be reminded of that sometimes.
Listening to Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes helps too!
The Elgin Flea Market went on as planned a few weeks ago. It was before the shutdowns began.
Here's my car so packed that I couldn't even see!
There was still a nice size crowd even though it was sunny and warm.
These are just a few pictures of my set up. I always have a good time selling at the event and I always make some time to shop too. How could I not!
This was my favorite find! I love vintage floral paintings. This one is super fantastic!!!!
It's in my happy place room in my home.
Another fabulous find was this floral barkcloth.
My plan is to make a pillow with it.
While getting out and shopping at the Vintage Shop Hop that was the first weekend of March, I was at Pink Geranium in Barrington. I bought this super sweet child's dresser. I redid a corner in my basement that gets lots of light. So every time I do laundry, I smile.
The small vintage floral painting was a rummage sale find. Love the combination of colors in this corner.
Look at the details on these columns! They will be for sale soon at the Carriage House. They were an estate sale find.
I also picked up these cute spring decor pieces recently at a thrift shop....
They are sure to bring a smile to anyone's face.
Well, since lots of markets and sales are on hold for now, why not spend time cleaning and rearranging your home. Move things around for a decor refresh and get things ready to donate to a local charity. I will be doing just that. Carriage House Antiques is closed this week and I'm not sure if we will open next week so I'm going to keep busy with projects that I never seemed to have time to do.
Stay safe and well my friends. Soon enough we will be treasure hunting again!
