A Whole Mess of Stuff

Years and years ago my mom and I bought all the brown transferware we could find. Then I packed it away for years and years. Last fall, around Thanksgiving, I took it over to Jennifer's (Laughing Daisy in Kimberly) and it did very well. I still have some left and they look great with my new favorite, faux moss covered rocks.

Here is what I got done today. My husband will be so happy I made a dent in the garage.

Huge vintage blackboard with blue trim. Jennifer says she has a bunch of old school stuff and this will go great with it.
White shabby mirror and quilt/towel rack.


People seem to love the chippy off white so here is more of it. A cute scalloped table, tray, and foot stool.
A blue chicken wire basket and blue salt pig. The primitive child's broom and wire rack came from the last trip. Behind is a blue cork/chalk board.
The blue frame is a mirror for Mia's room.
In the top picture is a red metal cake and 2 pie stacker. I ordered 2 vinyls to put on the outside. One that says pies and one that says cake. I'll show you when it is done.
Also in the top pic is a blue foot stool with a bare top. I am thinking of making a stuff fabric top for. Maybe using some lace doilies.

Spring Colors!

It may have started with the worn clothes pin hanging rack behind the doll. The pegs are old fashioned clothespegs. I had a wooden ironing table that I wasnt going to use so I took that in too.


I had an old iron and plenty of vintage girl's dresses. Jennifer did such a great display job.

A doll size dresser given a lovely coat of blue.


Room divider made from 3 doors. They were already green but I roughed them up a bit and gave the surface a walnut stain. The hinged were given a faux copper treatment.
