A Good Old Fashioned Antique Fair

Hello Friends!

I recently had the opportunity to head out to a wonderful antique show in a little town named

Cameron here in North Carolina.

Since moving here 6 years ago I had always heard about it but never had the chance to get there until now.As soon as I rolled into the town I got that nostalgic feeling.

Actually I got extremely home sick.

It felt like the antique shows that I was used to back home.

I couldn't wait to get out of the truck.

There was stuff as far as the eye could see!
I thought this little sign was adorable!

I felt like the girl in the drawing!

The crowds were plentiful......



The junk was superb......
(should have bought this cabinet base)



piles of it everywhere.....

there were old street signs....

(these were still in use...not for sale)

adorable old homes lined both sides of the street.....

old buildings sprinkled about....

I loved the doors on this one...

not to mention all the chippy old paint!!!

And the food! You KNOW the food was FABULOUS! Look....a whole turkey drumstick for only 6 bucks!

It was a beautiful day with lots of sunshine!

I'm so glad I finally made it there.

I did find a few treasures and would have bought ALOT more if I wasn't by myself.

You can be sure that Mr.OTM is going to be tagging along next time.

He just doesn't know it yet.

Junk Finds on a Friday!

Some days, things just come together.

Unexpected Fun!

That's what happened this past Friday. I got an unexpected day to spend with my Mr. OTM and we hit the junk trail!

It worked out great. I had sold a large cupboard that needed to be delivered

so once that was done.

We got to pickin!

Here's what we found......
the vintage glass front cabinet was a great and needed find...

french metal floral buckets.....


the color of this little old bench is perfect vintage aqua....






for some reason I am always drawn to canvas military bags...

the primitive bucket bench has the BEST old cracklie finish...

old mellow yellow side table...

these are some of the oldest (and cutest) embroidery hoops I have ever seen...

little old clothespins...full of character

the old stapler still works!

that big ole coil of wire fencing needs an awesome project...

unearthed some ironstone!!

And we'll end the show with a tour of the Eifel tower!

Sound good?
A good amount of these items made their way into my booth at the Sleepy Poet yesterday.

We did a huge make-over in that space as well.

Last one there is a rotten egg!

Big Booth Make-over

As I type this post...it's late.

I can hear an owl in the distance softly hooting....

and he's making me sleepy!

I better get a wiggle on!

Since my booth spaces are such a large part of my business and alot of time is devoted to keeping them up,

I feel like you need to see what I am up to with them on occassion!

This past Tuesday , I called up my girl Wendy to see if she was willing to help me totally revamp my big booth at The Depot.

A total revamp make-over to me consists of moving around every single piece of furniture~

bringing in a TON of new product~

and giving the space a FRESH new look.

Plus some serious sweeping.......lots of sweeping!

Enjoy your look around....



My "theme" for this make-over was........
Rustic Fall Farmhouse.

It was a fun day!

(sorry bout the Aquafina bottle and business card boxes)

Dance Hall sign is a fav....

along with this old rusty chuppy crusty iron seat (that has already SOLD!)

LOVE this old general store scale!

This is my favorite piece that I brought in......

Broad View Trailer Park!!!!

Priceless!!

The owl has gotten the best of me and I am off to call it a day.

I hope you enjoyed your booth tour as much as I enjoyed working on it!

The fall color pallet is one of my favorites to do.

Thank You!

Chippy little face.....

Good Morning Friends!
