It's WEDNESDAY... It's ChiPPy... It's W*H*I*T*E...

WEDNESDAYS have become my FaVoRite Day of the week - "linking-up" with Kathleen of "Faded Charm" - Host of  W*H*I*T*E   W*E*D*N*E*S*D*A*Y...

 I REALLY should be working on readying my "Show-Stock" for this weekend's Flea Market ~ but I got hit with the Christmas Spirit ~ and just had to play a bit!*!*!

 I always do a "seasonal display" in our entryway...

I picked up this mantel Early Fall ~ and decided it was time to use it!!!  I love its somewhat smaller size...  The ChiPPy White Planter Box seemed like a good starting point at the base...  

 Although it's going to be NEXT WEEK  before I can actually finish the display, I'm loving dreaming up "Possibilities"...  For Starters, I'm thinking of filling the chippy wooden planter with BOXWOOD & TALLOW BERRIES to give it some height...

Hope to SEE you this weekend at

 Grayslake Antique Flea Market, in Illinois...

December 10th & 11th

White W*E*D*N*E*S*D*A*Y... Just Laying in the GaRaGe!*!*!

While being away a good part of the weekend, I came home to SEE some re-arranging in the GaRaGe...  My husband needed to use the BIG LADDER I hung my Hydrangeas on - earlier this Fall...  Unbeknownst to him ~ a Sweet Little "ChiPPy White Vignette" Developed!*!*!

 Time~Worn Chippy White Zinc Pediment, propped up on a couple PeRfeCtLy ChiPPy White Railings ~ Accented with hydrangeas...

 I have weakness for "ZINC" ARCHITECTURAL PIECES...

   I picked up this AwEsoMe  Pediment of Sort late  summer...   I'm on the fence as to Sell or Not...  I'll be hanging onto it for a while till I decide...  It's such a nice smaller size!*!*!  I may just use this in our Christmas Vignette, adorned with HoLiDAy Greens!*!*!

 PeRfeCtLY Time~Worn Chippy Paint Patina...

Sooooo much more interesting than Brand New!*!*!

Now hop on over to FADED CHARM'S White WeDNeSDay Posts for added InSpiRaTioN!*!*!

Driveway entrance to our home...  NOT SURE how long this set of pumpkins is going to last - Check out my next pic to SEE WHY!*!*!

 THIS is what's happening

 ALL-OVER-OUR-YARD THIS YEAR!*!*!

Each year I mound up pumpkins in my birdbath, line our winding driveway wall with pumpkins, & set out quite a few surrounding my planters - NOW - ALMOST ALL MY PUMPKINS ARE TOTALLY CHEWED UP BY THE SQUIRRELS... and they're not eating the seeds!?!?!

TIME TO GET OUT THE TRAP!*!*!
