Found ~ The Cure for What Ails You...

Rough day...maybe a little No. 17 's what's in order?

 Think I'd better stock up on No. 1 and 14...bound to be needing those this summer.

Springfield Bound ~ Easy Peasy Retro Stool Makeover

Torn vinyl...no problem...

...just unscrew the band and replace with some great thrifted upholstery fabric.

Presto Chango...a brand new look!

These stools are Springfield bound...only 9 more days til the Big Show!!

They've got oodles of fun planned for attendees...check out this action packed scheduled of events. It's sure not your mama's antique show!!

I Heart Fridays ~ Coffee

Why did we stop using percolators? The old ones are so lovely...

...and they brew a most excellent cup of coffee.

Rain, Rain, Go Away...

....and don't come back til after the Springfield show! 

Rain has been causing a bit of delay in many of the projects I've been working on for The Vintage Marketplace @ Springfield....so, I've come inside to work on price tags...cut, punch, string, knot...cut, punch, string, knot and repeat...and repeat...and repeat.....

 One of the delayed projects is this set of HeyWoodite dinette chairs.  They have been sorely neglected over the years and I can't wait to see their finished makeover!

Come on sunshine!


Update: Here are the Hey Woodite chairs post makeover...looking good!

I Heart Fridays ~ Vintage Concrete Lawn Ornaments

While perusing images to include on my Pinterest board "Rustic Vintage Farmhouse Style"...I found and promptly fell in love with these concrete roosters. Adorable!

I would love to have them on my own kitchen shelf as bookends for my cookbooks. Sadly they were already sold when I found them :( 

That got me looking around for other vintage concrete lawn ornaments.

I think this swan would be lovely as a centerpiece...in the dinning room or on an entryway table...with a big beautiful bunch of spring flowers on his back!

Sweet. Extra sweet on a nursery shelf.

Another sweet one for the nursery shelf.

He looks huge...not sure where to put him...but he's handsome.

 I'm not sure what's on her back...but alone, she would make a nice doorstop.

Definitely bookends for these two. On the shelf over the potting bench holding up the gardening books. Perfect!
