Hang in a window and let the sun shine through.

Hi,
We were a little slow on getting the shop ready for pics this week.  And me...after taking pics this eve, I had a few errands to run.  I'm just now getting to posting.  I'll be done in just a few hours.  If your a night owl, check sometime after midnight.  If not....well, I'll have a brand new post ready for you when you wake up.

Closing in on Summer

Spring has finally Sprung and before you know it Summer will be here.  Speaking of Summer....That means the end of the school year.  Here's an idea to show your appreciation to a Teacher...or two!


Chalk Board Pots and Chalk



Nature, Flowers and 
Butterflies

Vintage wood and jars make a
perfect vase for these flowers

How about a beaker full of flowers?

Or....well you get the idea :-)

Butterflies come in all shapes and sizes.

Fashions for the Springiest Days

A fabulous Ladeeda Design find! A perfect condition
vintage wedding dress.

Wouldn't it be grand with a
full crinoline under it?

So spring...black and white and dots! A vintage cotton dress.

Funky leggings, a Black Market
White House top and a Calvin Klein belt.

More dots on this navy and white vintage blouse.
Love the 1955 brand 3/4 length jeans.

More Ladeeda Vintage. A Mexican themed
maxi dress to wear on or off your shoulders,
a new straw market bag, loft lasso jewelry
worn as a belt and Juicy Couture flip flops.

Lots of new (I mean vintage) sunglasses.
Get your groove going with these....:-)

NEW with tags, 7 for all mankind 
"Great China Wall" jeans
designed by Zac Posen.
Retail tag says $395!!! OH MY....
that's not what the Loft tag says.

Look at these!

A NEW addition. A buffet server.

Love this mod little dresser.

Is this a buffet or a dresser? You decide!

Cool chair!

Here's a shout out to Lanette of Cottage Elements for a fabulous JUNK from J to K and Everything in Between presentation. We were all inspired. Our favorite tip from Lanette....When you find something, turn it all around.  Turn it sideways and upside down. Do it and you'll discover another way to use it." 

 

Hmmmm....what's she gonna do with all of that JUNK?

An old dust pan made into a flower or magazine holder.

This used to be a vintage motorcycle Gaiter
(top part of boot). Now it's even cooler!

A vintage bag (camera case?), old bottles
and flowers. What a great floral display!





Too cute for words, vintage child boot
 used as bookends.
