SeLLing ChiPPy-SHaBBy ViNtaGe Finds...

Last Saturday
SeLLing my One-of-a-Kind Vintage Finds
in Libertyville IL 

One Tent... One Day...
Being New to this "50-Dealer Market" I wasn't sure what to expect.  I had the best spot!!!  I was able to pull right up to my space, unload, & stay parked.  With part of the Store's Name being RECLAIMED, I brought quite a few  "Re-Purposed" ViNtaGe SHaBBies...

Our day started off nice and cool with a little breeze ~ just perfect during set-up.  I was pleasantly surprised with a good amount of "early" ChiPPy-SHaBBy ShoPPers too.  Us vendors had a nice flow of shoppers till 11:30am - THEN THE HEAT CAME - 87 degrees...  After that, everyone disappeared into the air conditioned store/building... 

THANKFUL FOR YOU, MY EARLY SHaBBy SHOPPERS
and my "Frog-Husband's" HELP, after a Hot Sun-beaten Day...
It's better than pouring rain!!!

WeLcoMe S*P*R*I*N*G...

 

Time to start sprouting your 
EASTER WHEAT GRASS BASKETS!*!*!

~* Springtime Vibe *~
L*I*V*E Eastertime Wheat Grass Basket

~* ViNtaGe Tin Basket with daffodil pattern *~
OMG!!! ~ Those Colors!!!
One of the most favorite gifts
  from my precious "Frog-Husband"...



**How-To Grow the Grass**

*Purchase some rye -or- wheat berries
(I find mine at the health food store)...

*Soak the berries in water overnite...

*Line baskets or any containers, with thick aluminum foil...
*Fill with potting soil /dirt ~ initially 3/4 high in container...
- WET SOIL -

*Arrange the soaked berries somewhat close together over the dirt...

*COVER these berries with about a 1/2" more of dirt...
*Lightly Water This Layer...

-Germinate the seeds-
*I set my baskets in a warm dark place, (like a closet or bathtub) covering lightly with newspaper, for about 4 days...  Do not water any more during this time...

AROUND DAY "5"
Place the Containers in a "Sunny Window"
~*You just won't believe how fast the seedlings start "popping-up" & turning green!!!

The Containers will now require "LIGHT WATERING" every few days.  Do Not over water them! - Just a trickle now & then.  Use household scissors to trim the grass as it grows quickly.

I have made these baskets well over 20 years now!!!
I would sell them at my ChiPPy-SHaBBy Spring Shows, & give as gifts at Easter time...

*They last anywhere from 2-3 weeks after sprouting...
*If you want to "slow-down" their growing, set them in a cool garage...
