A bit of this and a bit of that ..... garden, shop , home

Hi All.....

getting ready to head on vacation but wanted to post a few pictures from my gardens, inside our home and pictures from the antique shop. Some are of my space and some of  the other dealers spaces ,
take a peek.
This was the ultimate dumpster dive find. Found it at a house by my parents and it was FREE. Love it in my garden. Lots of rust and crust on this treasure.

My booth display at the shop

I am having fun getting ready for the 4th of July. I love celebrating our nation's birthday and I have been really drawn to old  american flag  decor lately. Here is a peek of some recent arranging of my booth at the Antique store. Actually, I just took these photos this week, and a good percentage of the wall stuff has since sold.

I went in to grab the shutters for my own house, and low and behold, gone. I guess that is a good thing.

Enjoy the pictures. Have a  great weekend. We have been getting some crazy storms here in the Chicagoland area lately.
                                              Love my red, white, and blue .

  Some close  ups of my booth . Vanity just sold today. Luckily I found some great stuff out at junk sales today. Need to do another re do of my booth. Hope to change it up again this coming weekend before heading out of town on vacation.
 Another snap shot from the store. I try and added a nice variety but still keep in somewhat  of a connected theme.

It has been awhile...but finally Summertime is here and garden views

It has been awhile since I last posted. I want to share some photos from around my yard with my gardens starting to bloom. SO exciting to see after a LONG and dreadful winter , here in Chicago. Do not want to repeat that again.
Take a look........
                                                                                               Celebrating our nation's birthday soon enough. Always a fun holiday to decorate for.

  My watering can mini collection. Just getting started with this. Always on the lookout for great vintage garden finds.                Fabulous OLD garden urn, This had to be my find of the century last summer at a local estate sale. It is larger than it appears, with what else but... DIVINE rust. Love my rust.

Thanks for stopping in. I will be sharing more pictures and posting more regularly now that school is out for both myself and my boys. HOORAY !!!

Take care,

J
