happy monday everyone! incase you've been wondering what i've been up to these days...i have been in full swing @ shady hollow with the 3rd weekend open now under my belt. yesterday i actually found myself ready for action ahead of schedule allowing the opportunity to take some snapshots of my patinaWHITE shoppe before the crowds arrived! so enjoy these "shady" sightings...
you just never know what you might spy! here a junkyard rooster stands proud in a colorful gathering of goods for the home. {below}
on the farm subject - this little windmill {below} was a favorite find in my quick walk thru the flea market. unsure if i wanted to sell it i did set it out (unpriced)...which led to many inquiries about it...which led to me tucking it away to stop the temptation. i still have it. for now...
clouds blanketed the sky early in the day. but even the gray skies make a wonderful backdrop to something as fabulous as the "daddy" version windmill i also scored {below}. i didn't tag it until later in the day. and yes...it is still for sale. for now...
this cute shutter {below} now houses magazines. nothing better than something that was part of the outside of a home paving way to a new use inside a home!
got stuff? then i've got solutions! i adore vessels that encourage a tidy table-scape. and look darn cute in the process. such as this STUFF divided basket {below}.
step inside my cottage for a minute won't you? & be entranced with the wide variety of artisan jewelry...bits & baubles to create a custom "cluster" charm necklace or a funky + chunky layered number. something for everyone. well...maybe not your guy...but he told me to tell you to buy an extra for yourself!
if not a necklace...how's about a ring with a whole lotta bling? i expanded my popular stretchy ring selection. and with most only being $10 you can get one for now and one for later. or if you are in the sharing mode they make a great gift - feel good...do good.
clip hangers mingle with my selection of authentic vintage typewriter jewelry. these creations have been a part of my business for over seven years. it was my first "toe in" to the start of my jewelry offerings! and look where it has taken me!
cheerful wheatgrass highlights a display {below} i sell both sprouted pots and/or a bag of seed to get you started with your own grassy goodness. you can juice it too. me...i'll stick to oranges.
moving back outside...you will always find a fun selection of water themed wares. you can't live in land of 10,000 lakes and not have something beachy! this bright fish, vintage preserver and turtle {below} just so happen to fit the bill.
more function can be found in the many styles of coatracks i create. like the personalized number {below} or one of the many born from found objects recycled. come and "hang" out anytime!
and one more sighting @ my shady shoppe for today - a chance find of a rusty...crusty & glorious pedal car. oh i wanted to keep it. but i want to keep everything. which doesn't really make sense for a shoppe owner now does it? maybe i should run a museum. hm-mm...that's a thought. the detroit lakes museum of natural junk. kinda catchy.
but anywho...back to the car. grand as it was standing alone...pop a colorful floral in it and it caught the attention of another discerning eye. that of a gal traveling with her girlfriend across the upper midwest. hitting nothing but flea markets. now that is a good time! i wish they would have had room for me! i would glady sit in the back bed of the truck. and i would be as happy as a bird with a french fry! especially if they really did toss a morsel or two my way now and then! so my beloved rusty lil four wheeled friend hit the road back to montana. oh yes...maybe you would like to see what all my rambling was even about! well wait no more...
so when can i expect to see you? i will be waiting...with more goodies to show (i mean sell) for the summer season. thanks for popping by today. i hope you enjoyed the shady sightings!
make it a great day...
