WHITE WEDNESDAY ~ ChiPPy VaSe!*!*!

Digging through my "keeper stash" - it didn't take very long to find not one... not two... but three  WHITE ITEMS, with a ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! P*A*T*I*N*A!*!*!  
Just PeRfeCt for WHITE WEDNESDAY...

It's been quite a while since I've pulled this

 SHaBBy Out-Of-Hiding...

I've had this Wonderful Old White Matte VASE for a very long time...

  It's a lot larger than it appears here...  

  I'm not a big fan of "fake flowers" - but these are different ~ 

made out of some sort of ruffled "paper"...

  I LoVe their "tattered-look"...

LoVe it's imperfections with "hints of old mustard/gold paint" 

"poking through"...

The GRATE/PROP is a more recent find I purchased

 at the Kane County Flea...

Just FaB Time-Worn P*A*T*I*N*A...

The LoVeLY SHaBBy-Painted Dresser 

was acquired from Rosemary of Villa Barnes Blog...

EVERYONE AT THE FLEA WANTED IT - LAST YEAR!*!*!

Just look at ALL THE GESSO RoSes On-The-Edging...

I just LoVe this Iron Architectural Fragment!!!

Probably from a Porch Trellis Support...

I don't display it very often ~ but every time I see it ~

I LoVe it even more!*!*!

Just FaB Character/Patina...

BeSt!*!*! ViNtaGe Tole Birdie with P*A*T*I*N*A...

I've REALLY been buying quite well lately - not only finding SHaBBies for my UpComing Shows & SaLes - but also for myself!*!*!  I REALLY think it's due to the unseasonably warm weather - encouraging people to rummage around in their GaRaGes... Basements... Attics... - with this EARLY Selling Season in mind...

 Here is yet ANOTHER Over-The-Top,

 Just FaB **KEEPER** for my personal

 ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! Collection...

** My Number One Weakness **

 in the "ChiPPy!-SHaBBy!" Category is

Kathleen has one of my FaVoRiTe Postings today...

BeSt - Rusty White BirdCage & Chippy-White Clay Pot!!!

*Somewhere Over-The-Rainbow* ~ ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! WEEKEND ROAD TRIP!*!*!

It just Amazes Me

"How much Frog Husband & I can Pack-It-All-In,

in such a small window of time"...

 We've ALWAYS been this way!*!*! 

 Our Whirlwind **40-Hour** Weekend started out EARLY Saturday Morning...

About an hour into the drive, we hit some very unexpected MAJOR THUNDERSTORMS!!!

We were rewarded by a "double rainbow" - how appropriate on St. Patrick's Day!*!*!  

Will our destination yield a Pot-Of-Gold????

Saturday Afternoon was spent ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! SHoPPing...

We were able to hit **4** of my FaVoRite Shops in and around the City...

AS FOR PICS ~ between the Thunder, Lightening, Gushing Water & Deep Puddles,

 I just wasn't in the mood...

AND... "Froggie" was Not Happy loading a

 Large Iron Architectural Piece - into the car, during all of this!*!*!

Sunday was a beautiful day - mostly sunny and warm...

EVERYTHING was in bloom, with trees still retaining their blooms -

 even with the intense rains from the day before...

 What a welcome sight!*!*!

Besides these blooms, daffodils, tulips, forsythia, & red bud blooms were out as well ~ JUST GoRgeOuS!!!

  S*U*N*D*A*Y'S

BOTTLE  SHOW

The main reason we made the trip- a yearly Bottle Show...  

 This was a FaB Display of ViNtaGe Seltzer Bottles

 from someone's personal collection...

Even though we were in St. Louis, Missouri, - I would imagine the person whose collection it was - must live in Ohio - with so many of the Seltzer being from there...

 On the way home - Sunday Afternoon,

 I spotted what looked like a FaB JUNKER Stop!*!*!

 Unfortunately, being later on a Sunday, 

- it was already closed...

  I just know I would have found some AwEsoMe SHaBBies!!!

We hit one more "Junker Stop"... 

This was just one of many "Whimsical Buildings" surrounding

 the main Antique Shop/Building...  

Time to "unpack" the car ...

I found ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! ViNtaGe Finds

 at EVERY STOP!*!*!

Guest Bedroom RE-DO... Work-In-Progress!*!*!

 I'm not anywhere "near-done" - but I just had to share some P*O*S*S*I*B*I*L*I*T*Y Pics with you... It ALL STARTED in January - when I picked up a Rusty-Arched Fence-Like piece of SaLVaGe from Jan of *Gracie's Cottage*...  Immediately my mind went - HEADBOARD!?!?!


•I LoVe W*H*I*T*E...
•I LoVe O*R*A*N*G*E...
•I LoVe C*H*I*P*P*Y Furniture...
•I LoVe  Things With P*A*T*I*N*A...
•AND Just Recently - am acquiring a taste for "mixing-in"  just a bit of "Darker" -woods/texture...

This table is a "Recent Find" - last weekend to be exact - 

at Grayslake, from Rhubarb Reign...

Sandy & Joe bought this - WITH ME IN MIND!*!*! 

SHaBBy-Style ViNtaGe TABLE  I love it's form & patina... 

With just about everything in the room - 

pulled away from the walls as I work, -

  BY ACCIDENT - I set the TABLE in the corner...  OMG!!! - I LoVe when stuff like this happens!!!  For the last 7 years I've had a large chippy white garden chair there...  

I knew the area now needed a light fixture - 

Sooooo I pulled this ViNtaGe Tole Chandelier from my loft upstairs...

Can't wait to get it hung!*!*!  What a GREAT Pop-Of-Orange...

 Lots of time-worn "Paint Crazing" & layers of beige/grey/white poking through...

 The ViNtaGe GaRden Chair was also in my office loft...

Soooo functional here...

Although there's some slight evidence of  "power tool sanding" -

I still LoVe It - It's a FaB Piece!!!

I found these AwEsOMe 

"Bo-Ho Style" Shams at Anthropologie...

I like using *All-White* Bed Linens,  - 

just changing out Shams Seasonally - 

yielding a QUICK/INEXPENSIVE Freshened Look...

I think these will look FaB against the **Rusty Headboard** -

really bringing it together!!!

 What a FaB Sweet Adornment!*!*!

Purchased from "Paper Patty" - at Kane last month...

 Remember this "Killer-Piece" 

- that left me weak-in-the-knees...

I think it's going to work out perfectly, on the wall, next to the bed, possibly with this chandelier...

 I have a Stash of Chandeliers to pick from - if  I need more B*L*I*N*G impact!!!

I'm considering displaying these Old Textured Wicker Suitcases

on Top of the Hutch that houses my White Matte Pottery...

 I'm currently painting slats of wood to back

 this Rusty Architectural Fragment/Headboard...   

 These Birdie cut-outs are going to get a slathering of rough plaster & paint...

Then added to the headboard area...

These are ALL P*O*S*S*I*B*I*L*I*T*I*E*S...

The "POP-OF-ORANGE,  HINT OF RUST, WICKER SUITCASES" - 

 along with *ALL-THE-WHITE*...

Have a FaB Weekend!*!*!

GoRgeOus Weather, here in the MidWest!*!*!
