Holiday Flea Market

We had a few inches of snow early Sat. morning and I think that really put a damper on the Holiday flea that I did on Sat. The crowd was pretty thin unfortunately!! As anyone who does any kind of markets, sales or shows knows how much work goes into these it can really be disappointing! Oh well, I think my booth was really pretty anyway!!One side of my booth had a huge window in it and I love how the sun came peeking through later in the afternoon! It cast some lovely shadows on my vintage Christmas!
I made a little village scene inside this antique aquarium. Of course it didn't sell, so I will probably take it to one of my booths.

These hinged windows I put together were the perfect backdrop since my booth was in a corner.

I had tons of vintage Christmas!











I loved this vintage store display basket that I used to display old boxes of Christmas lights!

I did sell the cute little picnic tin and the watering can!

I didn't do horrible, but compared to last year's show this one was not very good! I did have alot of fun buying some great stuff from the other dealers there and got some great deals!

Bought this sweet bottle brush tree that was still in it's original box ~ mint condition!!

Then my favorite buy of the day -- this little cutie............



I LOVE this darling little bottle brush tree! The pink beads on the frosty flocking make it look so sweet and feminine!! I just adore it!!!

I also bought the wonderful little tureen it sits in, one of two I got from the same dealer!
I didn't mind so much having to pack up most of my stuff knowing I came away with such sweet finds!

I can at least take my leftovers to my booths to sell. Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

My New Love!!

Happy December to all!! Christmas will be here before we know it and I have so much to do!! I have been busy primping and preparing for a Holiday market that I'm doing on Sat., but I'd rather be doing all my holiday decorating instead! But, I couldn't resist adding some Christmas embellishments to my new love...my new cupboard!!
It is absolutely perfect for this spot and I couldn't be happier with it!!
It has tons of storage and I have already filled up the base with dishes and serving pieces!
Here she is in all her glory ~ I'll just take you on a little tour...shelf by shelf!!






















These last few photos are some of my favorite items that I've been working on and will be featuring in my booth at the holiday flea I'm doing in Germantown, WI this Sat. next to the Pilgrim Antique Mall from 8 to 3 pm!


My ornament wreaths have been selling like crazy and I'm on the hunt for more ornaments!

I like to give some of them a dusting of "sugar glitter" !!


I have 2 of these gorgeous vintage ornaments-one in green and the other gold! Love them!!




Found this pickle jar at St. Vinny's with no cover, so I added some Christmas adornments and like the results!!


Since I have alot of white stuff in my new cupboard, I decided to join in the White Wednesday linky party over at Faded Charm!


Check out all the other wonderful blogs who have joined in this weekly celebration of white!
