hello everyone! another holiday weekend has come & gone at the hollow and I'd like to thank all the wonderful people for stopping by and making it such great turn out! the weather was perfect in addition! we couldn't have asked for a more ideal weekend! and thank you kelli for coordinating the weekends events and the entertaining pot luck! a perfect mix of friends and food!
a big holiday weekend is the opportune time for seeing vendors that don't always come out for the one day showings. I found myself making an always quick walk thru the field to see the wares. I happened upon the table of martha and gloria from south dakota. though they don't make it up often, they are familiar flea faces as they have been vending at the hollow for years! these girls have a quirky selection of goodies that always catch my eye! and it just so happens that I had to "adopt" a few treasures that I have to show & tell all about!
here we have vintage shoe clips and a beaded rosary {below}. as the old stamps state...I absolutely covet these finds!
I don't believe I could have found a more perfect pairing of timely tarnished silver and turquoise. this little lovely {below} with it's ornate detailing will find a home in my vast collection of baubles. great for layering with other necklaces...I can't wait to wear this one!
always a sucker for storage and little "things", these tiny bottles {below} with original tops will be great homes for bits & beads!
as I poked around their cases I couldn't help but spy this oh so sweet little child's necklace {below}. though it would be a perfect candidate for repurposing in a necklace design I do believe I will just keep it as is for now...the colors and clasp are too darn cute!
and my last treasure find of the weekend was a trio of unique skeleton keys {below}. even though I have an almost silly amount of keys already, something about the V on the one and the cool shape + color of the others just begged to be snapped up! and of course the chain wasn't too bad either!
oh, and I mustn't forget the wonderful generosity of others! after three days of craziness at the hollow I trekked to my truck at the end of the day. along the way I was gifted a GIANT watermelon!
what a kind gesture, not to mention I am never one to turn down such a fine looking melon! many thanks to the great miranda family! and for those of you who are able to make it to the market...the miranda's not only sell a variety of garden wares but they are the masterminds behind the PAPA DIO'S food extravaganza! be sure to grab a breakfast taco or most delish cheeseburger. don't forget the jalepenos! just be sure to save some for me! those of you who know me know that jalepenos are my lifeline! ole!
thanks for stopping by & remember...make it a great day!
