Crows & Clocks & Lanterns & Stuff

 Just a few pics to entertain you, and hopefully give you some ideas.

a little vignette on the fireplace hearth.

That white wood is a bee keep lid.

On the right is a hand made old shoe repair form.

 Just got a gallon jar of watches and parts.

Wait till I show you what was in there!!

 cute BOO banner and display on old gate.

 

watch faces and keys in an old drill bit box.

 A fun and unique way to display your little treasures.

(I have more watch faces now)

 little harvest box and display. Did you notice the crow??

 

and here is a crow on a lantern. I've added a few more at the store.

 

Love crows and old clocks.

Beware. There may be more coming soon. =)

Vintage Marketplace Eye Candy for You

Hi everyone.
Since I am still having some computer problems,
thought I would share some pics of
Vintage Marketplace via my friend Sonya's sweet blog,

Counting My Blessings.
She has a couple of wonderful posts for Vintage Marketplace,
and the store.

And did I mention we may be doing Vintage Marketplace
again in August????

Any takers???

blessings and have a fun weekend.

Decorating help anyone??

I need some advice about an area in my store.

I hope you can see the pics alright to help me decide something.

These two 'walls' go into the kitchen at the store.
They are even with each other, and there is an 18" deep recess and then the curtain.

What I'm thinking about doing is setting the wall on the left back two feet, which would give me two extra feet in the display room. I know that does not seem like much, but would leave a better walkway in that area.
It would be fairly easy to do

If you can see the edge of the white curtain on the left of the picture,
and the shadow next to it, that is where the wall would jog.
That would perfectly accommodate this piece of furniture which will soon go there,
and give a better walkway and space in that area.

The wall on the right could only be moved 6" so I will not be doing that one.

This is a closeup of the wall on the left.

So, what do you think?
Can you envision it?

Thanks for the help.

VIGNETTES!!



Funky Junk is having another Saturday night special.

Having a gift shop has been a wonderful opportunity to learn to do vignettes.
And that it has been, a learning process.
But I am having a ball doing it!!

So, sit back and enjoy,
and I'll try not to talk all the way through it! =0))


A hand crafted wire vignette.

A tad bit of Fall.

Beautiful black and white display.

More Fall.
This itme a vignette on a tray covered with a doily.

a little garden box vignette

Beautiful treasures.

New little vignette at the shop.

Some spooky decor.

A bit of pink thrown in.

A little bit of 'dark' display vignette.

Of course all these areas have changed again in the past day or two.
The fun at the store is, it is ever changing!!!
And the work is... it is ever changing.
Just like life i guess.
And we have a choice, go with the flow and enjoy it as we go,
or battle it all the way, and worry about every little bit of it.

OK got a bit philosophical!

hope you enjoyed your time here.
