Cottage Style Party #43

Around the cottage spring means many things.

Like this:

and also this:

Antique Show Season!

The Tri-State Antique Market is held the first 

Sunday of every month from May through October 

in Lawrenceburg, Indiana.

Being my first show of the season and raining

my display skills were rusty and rusting!

The stack of silver plate cake plates and display items 

were a real eye catcher despite the crappy photo!

Remember this blue wicker chair?

It has a twin!

Even better...they sold!

The garden trug on the bench was popular but

sold on Etsy later that after noon!

The Scots cooler sold to a guy whose wife let him buy it...lol!

It was fun to be back selling antiques at the market despite the rain all day.

That long stretch of boxes was from the guy at my local flea market who yells out 

"everythings a quarter". He did not say that once on Sunday...hmmm.

Note the puddles and tents...and jackets...it was cold and rainy.

This couple walked by 4 times and that is all they found in their cart.

Yikes!

I could have filled my truck a dozen times with just the stuff I could see from my booth!

Plastic tarps cover some of the items.

Where's the shoppers?

As the rain fell harder the umbrellas came out.

I even saw one shopper who held her umbrella over her dog!

(sorry..no pics of that!)

I had one little rush of shoppers and then the rain really 

started pouring and everyone headed for shelter.

Except for me...

After 6 hours of being soaking wet and cold, 

I packed it up and went home to unload, dry off and take a nap.

Then I went back out into the rain to plant tomatoes...

At least all that rain was good for something!

How was your weekend?

Welcome to this weeks

Cottage Style Party!

Thanks to everyone who identified the pot strainer!

Funny, I was looking at it the other day and it 

suddenly dawned on me what it might be.

So I checked your comments and it WAS a pot strainer!

I think I just had my first senior moment...gah!

Thanks again for setting me straight!!!

Let's get this party started!

How sweet is this fairy garden?

This is an incredibly creative use for an old nonworking fountain!

I am loving these fairy gardens and Poetry in a Pot of Tea has two of them!

This is such a welcoming front porch display!

I love the chippy paint, plantings, the roses painting...everything!

Wait till you see how cozy the rest of her porch is!

Stop by Penny's Vintage Home to see just how cozy!







I am a sucker for a kitty on a bench!

Don't they always take the newest, most comfy seat?

This bench is just a small part of Carol's garden room at Art and Sand.

Drop in to see more of it!







Don't forget to pick up your button on the side!
