A Hint of F*A*L*L ~ Orange & Black STUEBER'S SODA CRATE!*!*!

AwEsoMe ChiPPy ViNtaGe F*I*N*D!!!
** BeSt Natural Time~Worn PaTiNa **
A perfect adornment for the F*A*L*L Season
Orange & Black


 I netted this beauty at the
 Kane County FleaThis PAST SATURDAY
 - That's right - I was CrAzY enough to drive 2-1/2 hours
 (one-way)Shop AND then set up my Selling Booth back here in 
 Wisconsin On Saturday Night ~ OMG!!!




 I also netted these AwEsoMe
 "Smaller-Sized" Pumpkins
 from an Indiana Seller... 
 I LOVE THEIR LONG BLACK TWISTED STEMS!!!
The Vignette developed all on its own - as a carrying container
 when I was hauling them back to the van...
Just L*O*V*E when that happens!*!*!



It's starting to look a bit like F*A*L*L
around our HoMe...
Hope your week is off to a good start!!!

October 2011 Country LiVinG Magazine PUMPKINS... BOTTLES... ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! Style!*!*!

The lastest October/Fall issue of COUNTRY LIVING MAGAZINE, is a "must SEE/READ"...  BeSt Issue in a long, long time!!!  The cover photo REALLY drew me in!!!   I just had to try my hand at the AmAziNg FALL PUMPKIN Idea & WHITE BOTTLES... Just a day before my ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! RoadSide SaLe, (like I had nothing to do...) - here's what I came up with!!!    

 **~** OWL-PAPERED PUMPKIN **~**



October 2011/Fall Issue
Country Living Magazine
Is this a FaB Cover or What!?!?!




 I displayed this PUMPKIN CREATION at my RoadSide SaLe on Saturday, along with a copy of the magazine...
  The milk glass pedestal/compote stand was JuSt PeRfeCT for displaying the Pumpkin!!!  Unfortunately the stand SOLD RIGHT AWAY ~ but it went to a good home!!!




 I followed Country Living's directions up to a certain point - then tossed-in a bit of my own interpretation ~ especially the center stem...




Not being a "crafter" - it seemed to take me a Long-Time...  AND now I know some things I'd do a little different/better...




 The next item that caught my eye in the magazine were WHITE BOTTLES with Bug/Nature Designs...  This was my "ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! Interpretation of what I saw...  Soooo fun for HaLLoWeeN!*!*!  




 Here they are at Saturday's ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! RoadSide SaLe @ My Home...




 As items got SoLd, I created different vignettes using the BOTTLES...  Placement & Adornments can make such a difference...




I LoVEd the Bottles on the table's lower shelf...

MAYBE- More RoadSide Pics to Come???
I have such a BUSY WEEK AHEAD!!!  Less Blogging??? - More Doing is on my agenda...
