Junking Trip

I traveled down to Dixon, Illinois, yesterday to visit a very good friend and her family.  Besides catching up on recent news, we had junking on our minds.  I found some fun items that I will be listing in our Etsy shop - or saving for my booth at the first ever Vintage Flea & Finds Market to be held in Madison, Wisconsin, on April 21st.  If you will be in the area, be sure to mark your calendar for this event.  Coming soon: you will be able to view more information about the market and dealers at http://www.vintagefleaandfinds.com/.




 My junking finds:

Love the blues: unique tin and cute clothespin bag

Fun tin birdhouse, cute red and white mugs
and a nice microscope case

Great green truck and polka dot mugs

Thinking Spring

Despite our biggest snowstorm of the season yesterday, our thoughts have already turned to spring.  We have some fun gardening items listed in our Etsy shop and found other delightful offerings in additional Etsy shops.  I hope you are inspired to start your spring decorating.

Flea Market Style Magazine

Check out the newest Flea Market Style magazine - it's a fantastic issue.  Be sure to look at the section on the best vintage sales from coast to coast.  Right there, listed on page 17, is Calamity Janes of Lake Mills, Wisconsin.

I featured Calamity Janes on my post dated October 8, 2011.  Mother and daughter team, Stefanie and Lynne, have a created a wonderful shop with a great selection of vintage, industrial and primitive pieces.  If you are in Wisconsin, be sure to stop by Calamity Janes.  You can also visit their website at calamityjanes-antiquities.com for more information and shop hours.

Vintage Bovines

Discover the fun of collecting vintage bovines - in various shapes, sizes and mediums.  I do not have a large collection, but following are a few that I have throughout my home. You can start or add to your own "herd" with some of the offerings available to purchase on Etsy.
