Christmas Crafts for Monticello

I have been busy creating lots of treasures for the Christmas Show at Monticello Antique Marketplace. Here are some sneak peaks.

I have glitter all over my house....It is very messy~~!!

Here is a light I re purposed from an old funnel. I LOVE IT!!!!

The curtains are linen place mats that I strung on wire to create a fun french touch.

Be sure to come by Monticello Friday morning and check out all the amazing treasures we all have to offer. Chandra has sent me some pics of what she will be bringing...

Ooh la la

Can you say Pink Christmas~~~

Off to the Auction

Saturday I was really looking forward to us being in town and hitting some great sales.

So out the door we headed. After an ok sale, then a dud sale, we finally hit the jackpot right around the corner from the house.

The Expedition was full so off to the storage unit we went to unload.

Then we decided to hit the Nursery Auction in Washougal. I am soooo glad we did.

We ran into a really nice couple that we had met the previous weekend at a farm auction.

They are so nice!!!

Here are some of our finds.

Vintage Tree Baskets. Are these cool or what?

Not sure what this galvanized thingy is but I knew I had to have it.



We purchased two Japanese Maples that will find a new home in our yard.
They are sooo beautiful.

Mugo Pines will make the trek to the beach property for their new home.

This vintage garden table that I got from Debbie (Ormalulu) at the Camas Vintage Street Faire. It will also go to the beach property for us to enjoy next summer.

The rustier the better!!!

This great little wooden box I purchased at expo in July.

I wanted to keep it but cant find the right place in my home.

I intended on painting it cream but now I am not sure.

What do you think???

I have been busy making soap, soap and more soap.

The Holidays are just around the corner.
Be sure to come by and see Chandra and I at the Portland Expo next Fri, Sat and Sun.

October 23-25th.

We promise you wont be disappointed.

Until then

Julie :)

Looking Forward to a Break!!!

Autumn is here and I am looking forward to a break in shows. Not that I don't love doing these wonderful shows, rain or shine, inside or outside, here or there...It's just I need this 2 week break from show responsibility to unwind, relax and take in some family time. Oh, and of course some much needed junkin time to get ready for Expo. I will be sharing a booth with my friend Chandra from "Shabby To Chic Designs" (non blog girl) offering some of our best treasures.

So look for me at the sales, auctions, etc. the next couple of weeks and don't be shy....say "HI"

Here's to enjoying break time.

BTW, Mike's dad came home from the Hospital Sunday and is doing well!!!

Thank you for all your prayers!!!
