I spent Friday with my friend Kathy

who lives here in Denver near me

 we both sell vintage items at Treasures On Main

This is Kathy's space....Nestings

In a few weeks she'll be moving into a larger space

Another friend, Tammy from Refunded Junk

is moving into Kathy's space

super excited to have her there with us!

She's just got her blog up and going ( YEAH!)

so hop over and say Hi when you get a chance..

Kathy has great stuff ! I always find something to buy from her :-)

So...back to Friday

one of our favorite shops in Concord, Southern Comforts

 is closing~ Monday is their last day

 they were having a great sale so we decided to head

over and check it out

There were definetly some great deals

& we both got some cool stuff

I unfortunately have not taken pics of the things I bought

but Kathy sent me pics of her loot today

so I'm sharing those with you

(everything will be for sale in her booth)

I'll share my stuff on another post...

perfectly chippy watering can

a great llittle cabinet

 

just in time for Valentine's Day

sweet little heart pin-cushion

vintage valentine cards

neat old quilt rack

great chippy paint & color!

more sweet vintage valentines

metal spike frog & glass vase or candleholder

this frame is awesome!

not sure what she's going to do with it

but I'm thinking a great big chalkboard !!

 this sweet little corner shelf

thought we were gonna have to wrestle another lady

for this shelf...but I stood guard while Kathy got the owners

to get it cleared off  for her

it's so neat with all the cut work on the sides

and then

there was this mirror

~sigh~

I already had several things picked out

or they would have come home with me

yep...there was a PAIR of them

I knew Kathy would love them too

and they'll look so great in her new space!

Especially after she gets this piece in there....

( that would be the white cabinet NOT the yellow fish!)

LOL!

I hear you swooning...

me too..

she was looking for a bigger display piece

and this was perfect & at a great price too!

we found this at The Depot @ Gibson Mill

also in Concord and just around the corner from Southern Comforts

This is another favorite of ours

not a shop...but a HUGE Antique Mall

several favorite dealers are set up here...

Olde Tyme Marketplace

Refunked Junk

The Gilded Cottage

Artsy Fartsy Finds

NanBrook Farms

The Shabby Chatue

and a ton more but I just don't know all the names...

I get so inspired seeing all the wonderful vignettes

some real talent going on in this place

and everyone that works there is super nice!

have a look see at some of my favorite booths there

and if you're in the area this place needs to be

on your list of places to see!

not sure of the dealer here~ sorry

(if anyone knows contact me and I'll  list the name)

The Gilded Cottage

not sure here either...

(might have been Artsy Fartsy Finds?)

don't know this one either

but don't you love the contrast of the old rusty white tool box

next to the beautiful Johnson Brothers Ironstone?

YUM 

Refunked Junk

Tammy is really doing some great new jewelry

can't wait for her to get moved into Treasures On Main

Shabby Chatue

I only know Dawn from blogging and Facebook

(hope to meet her face to face soon)

her booth was breath-taking!

Such great vignettes!

The Gilded Cottage

I stood in front of this beautiful display a long time...

I ran my fingers over several of these pieces...

BEAUTY FULL!!!

Kathy and I headed back to Denver to meet up

with some of her other friends for a wine tasting

@ Sweet Vine Winery

Great Wine, Great Food and a Great Time!

A Great Friday!

Sandra and I have added a few handmade items to the booth

for Valentines...some of these have already sold so I'll be

re-stocking this week...

here are a few of the vignettes @ JUNK WILD

this has completely changed now since we sold the

oak table in the front..

lots of vintage buttons for sale!

I'll have some new pics of the re-arranged space next week

The weather here today was wonderful!

Hope you are having a great weekend

XOXO

White Love

Hello Sweet Friends

I had planned to make this post about my cabinet and mirror make-over

but my back decided it was going to go out on me again

and so I am in bed with the heating pad on

I needed new pics for the post so that will have to wait a few days...

look for it next week!

I usually do all my posts from my desktop computer

(where most all of my pics are )

so there's another thing to add to my list

( copy pics to disc and load on laptop)

~sigh~

All of the pics here are from Google Images

they're of all things wonderfully white that I love

(and I know you do too!)

White Linens & White Ironstone

A beautiful white kitchen...I'm in love with these pendant lamps!!

and that beautiful hardwood foor

and of course a gorgeous white hutch loaded with white goodness!

I guess it's a bit whimpy of a White Wednesday post but I've been away from the

link parties for several weeks and just wanted to get back in the groove...

Hopefully I'll be back to normal tomorrow~

Back pain is the worst!

Hope you all are having a great 2011 so far

Be sure to visit all the other White Wednesday posts

over at Faded Charm!

White Chippy Paint

I love old shutters!

I use one very much like this one as a backdrop for my Etsy photos

Well I'm off to bed now...

this is NOT my bed but mine is big and full of fluffy white linens ,quilts & pillows

LOVE IT!

Snow and Ice...

since Sunday about 6 inches of snow

beautiful snow

has fallen here in Charlotte

we don't know quite what to think of it

see...it's rare that we get snow

and this is the third snow we've had in the last two months!

the first one was very light

but the second one was on

CHRISTMAS DAY!!

and now again...

we're giddy ...

well I was

until the ice came

and now it's just COLD

pretty     ~but COLD

normally this week I would have been headed down

I-85 to Atlanta for the Gift Show

not this year

 I'm glad I didn't have to be driving in the snow and ice

but I'd prefer to be back at work - and I miss my friends in Atlanta

so~I took some time away from the job search and

 I've been cuddled up with my little Hannah

watching every movie that Pixar has made

laughing and having a ball

I've also been adding new stuff to the Esty Shop

& working on some sweet Valentine things for the shop

but I have NOT been out snapping pics of the pretty snow

all these are from google images

back to the job search tomorrow

wish me luck

Hope you are having a great week so far

if you got snow...I hope you enjoyed it too!

take care friends

Tammy
