20th Anniversary

 ICE FOLLIES PIN/BROOCH

Dating *1956*

ORIGINAL PACKAGING - Made In USA...

Besides the item pictured above, I have yet another

 Ice Follies Pin that was  "gifted"  to me as a child -

from a CHICAGO performance - in the early "1960's"

A very treasured remembrance!*!*!

I just love that I found the pin above

 on it's original card...

 These BiRd Cut-Outs may be newly made,

but the "Musical Note Paper" - IS ViNtaGe!*!*!

A little clear glitter  was added - for HoLiDay SparkLe...

Re-Purposed Naturally Time-Worn Swivel Stool Base

BeSt-Ever!*!*!

FOLLOWING YOUR HEART...

BUY-WHAT-YOU-LoVe!*!*!

I saw this item at the Allegan Flea Market this past summer...

Being Vintage, Naturally Perfectly Chippy-White, along with

 Great Form, it tugged at my heart strings...

BUT I HAD NO IDEA

 WHAT TO DO WITH IT!*!*!

The Dealer made a few suggestions -

one being a TREE STAND...  Good Idea, but there was 

No Way a Tree Shaft was going to fit in this Small Hole that

could not get any bigger...

FOLLOWING MY HEART ~ It Came Home with me...

 A couple Kane County Flea Markets ago - I bought THIS WHITE TREE  from Judy of  the Iowa Junk Gypsies...  Removing the tree's burlap-wrapped base  - revealed a  plastic stand  which also came off - only to reveal a small metal rod - which fit PERFECTLY into the Chippy-White Stand!*!*!

OMG!!!

Netted from Kristen's Booth

At Elkhorn's last Flea of 2013,

  I initially passed up this AwESoMe

 Wire Basket during Dealer Set-Up, -but it still 

 kept calling to me...

  Soooo thrilled that it was still there early the next morning!!!

  MOST times if you think too long - 

IT"S GONE!*!*!

AGAIN - I FOLLOWED MY HEART...

BUY-WHAT-YOU-LOVE FIRST

Ideas will follow...

It isn't even Christmas yet, and I have Cabin Fever!*!*!

Cold... Snowy...  I've been in ALL-DAY...

This was taken about 5 years ago at an Annual Christmas Show I would sell at in Germantown, Wisconsin...  Unfortunately the building it was held in - next to the Germantown Antique Mall,  has been Leased-Out...  I REALLY miss this little gem of a show...  Being just 12 miles away -MANY of my local customers would Shop-My-SHaBBies...  It was always held on this first Saturday in December...

Re-Purposed Industrial Ventilator...

Over the past couple days Frog Husband & I have been Organizing, Stacking & Storing - SHaBBies for the long Winter Months...

  Occasionally I'll get inspired & route a few items inside house...

 This VENTILATOR was one of them...

 I brought this FaB Old VENTILATOR to Sell at the Kane County Flea last weekend...  A good number of people thought it was quite awesome, but no one took it home... 

 EVERYONE said - "What would I do with it"??? 

  Here's what I did with it!*!*!

Just PeRfeCt at the End-of-the-Hall,

"UP" on the Cabinet...

 It's such a nice "smaller-size" and has acquired a

 wonderful time~worn PaTiNa... 

I'm planning on adding some "tiny round Christmas bulb lights" just under the top band... 

ANOTHER DISPLAY IDEA 

Just FaB Outside On-The-Deck/Porch

with HoLiDay Lights & Greens...
