Autumn art...

Frosted beauty...
and the reason I don't go into my garden in the fall...

Eeewwwwww...
spideys...OMG...

I do realize they need a home too,
but in my garden...NOT!!!

Yes, my wiring came yesterday, so I played...

Lil' babies to guide you into the night...

Ready to sit by your bedside,
or on a shelf nearby
these babies of the evening
will not make you cry...

Heehee...well maybe...

THEY'RE BAAACK.....

Yup, the ghoulies are back at the Candle Shed...
Piper's bowling pin gitters were such a success last year
she's done them again this season.




I don't know about you guys, but I'm noticing a real
excitement about Fall this year...
if you're trying to buy stuff for Halloween,
the shelves are already empty in some of the stores...

sooooo...again we create our own stuff,
MADE IN AMERICA
it's the American way!

Was talking to dealer friends Mark and Liz
the other day, they have been doing
the Kane County flea market for 35 years
and have seen the ups and downs...
they have also noticed that it's going back to the way it
was before China took over the market on crafts/art.
Remember how fun the fleas used to be
before it turned Chinese...
it's a junk revival for sure...
OMG...
I just thought of the name for my annual flea markets
I want to have at the new shop...
DAMN...I better git started organizing huh...!

BTW...

Bones of a new shop...

As inventory starts to pile up in my living room,
I ready my plans for the bones of the biz,
the furniture...isn't this just the coolest piece,
it will stand on a table or hang on a wall...
And it would look so cool in my house...
but then, so would it all!!!
ARGH!!!

Talk about chippy and crusty...I haven't even looked in the drawer or the doors
to see if there are bottoms, but when the dealer told me the price, I said, 'YES'!!!
will make a darling setting, can you see it...

Thanks Mark and Liz for being the best junkers EVER...
a husband and wife team that truly know what it's all about!
Their booth is always jammed full of great stuff,
right TOT...ha!
And their prices are wonderful,
you don't even wanna know what I paid for this sweet lil wash stand...
weeeeee...

Wonderful old bird house on a stand...SWEET!
Couldn't pass it up, will be divine in a setting...

Love this old dark finish oak high boy...
isn't it cozy with all of the Autumn color splash...
It's displayed at the Candle Shed,
for now!


and you can never have enough farm chairs,
especially old white painted ones...
do ya think I'm draggin' in some goodies...
OH YEAH!!!
SOON!
