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!*!*!

**ChiPPy!-SHaBBy!** Shops Antiques in & around ST.LOUIS...

As we worked our way to an Antique Bottle Show in St. Louis, Missouri, this past weekend, -  we cruised some of our favorite Antique Stops there and back...

After about 6 hours on the road...   The day turned out 81 degrees and Sunny!!!

I love visiting St. Louis ~ but we NEVER spend enough time there...

 

One of our "Must Stops" twice a year is Rick's Store ~ R. EGE ANTIQUES, in St. Louis...  I first met Rick at the Chicago Botanic Antique Garden Show in Glencoe, Illinois, many years back...  You can be assured he has some of the B*E*S*T  Authentic Antiques around!!!  Always a pleasure to shop his store!!!  Be sure to visit his booth at the Chicago Antiques & Garden Fair - 2011,  and check out the incredible pics on both his Blog & WebSite!!!  The outside of his building is AmAzinG as well...

I sooooo wanted to take this French Clock HOME!!!  PeRfeCtLy ChiPPy!!!

FaB Displays...

The Back Room Area  is my FaVoRite...  Rick seemed to have more Industrial than ever!*!*!  I love the natural light in this room ~ somewhat of a greenhouse feel...

The Antique Metal Tray had a FaBuLouS PaTiNa... 

Of Course there was a "Bling" Sighting!*!*!  Not only Chandeliers, but a just FaB Antique French Tiara...  

Maybe I'll get a second chance if Rick brings it to the Antique Garden Show!!! ~ LoVed It...

Very Early Architecture...

ChiPPy Iron Sighting...  SOLD long before we got there...

Warson Woods is a good Antique Stop in the St. Louis area... My favorite booth was a bit picked over by the time I got there late Saturday Afternoon...  I did however net a couple vintage finds...

This picture doesn't do the Antique Zinc Pediment justice...  This beauty probably graced the peak of an old Queen Anne Style Victorian...

Yet another amazing zinc architectural fragment...
