Last Night's ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! Flea Market Seminar

A Big Thank YOU to all of those who came out to "hear "the inside scoop" ~ on HOW TO SHOP A FLEA MARKET and MORE ~ last night at our local Harris Bank!!! 

I set up an "eye-catching" vignette with the main focus of my talk On - "HOW TO SHOP A FLEA MARKET" ~ AND pointing out what to look for in vintage finds...  I selected certain items to show/explain what a natural time-worn patina is... Italian Tole with both metal and paper Italy tags... Time-worn paint crazing on architectural pieces... Softening Industrial pieces & repurposing them...  

Almost everything I talked about came back to:

IT'S ALL IN THE DISPLAY/PRESENTATION - RE-PURPOSING...

This vignette has been in the bank lobby for about a month now ~ enticing people to come to the seminar last night...

THANK YOU Harris Bank for this fun opportunity!!! and Linda Chay - a good customer of mine, who made it all happen!!!

As I get ready for this weekend's Grayslake Flea Market in Illinois, ~ I decided to take some time out & link up with Kathleen of "FADED CHARM" for ChiPPy WhiTe Wednesday!!!   Be sure to hop on over to her blog to SEE all the other entries as well...

 I netted this PeRfeCtLy Chippy White Metal Pot & Saucer a couple weeks ago when we shopped HUNT & GATHER in Minnesota...  Sorry ~ it's a keeper for now...
(click to enlarge...)

FaB Patina...  & Lacey cut-out edging...

 The Pot and Saucer's FORM matched perfectly - but I found it odd that the saucer showed strong signs of old "apple-green" paint, while the Pot showed AQUA-BLUE...

 As I was shopping for dinner at the Grocery Store ~ I spotted these GoRgeOuS Fresh Flowers and knew they were the perfect adornment for this chippy-white pot & saucer...

My Seasonal Entry Vignette is now saying: E*A*S*T*E*R...  I love the whimsical look it has!  I've been collecting ViNtaGe Paper Mache Bunny Rabbits for as long as I can remember... Today's market value on these bunnies has hit an all time high!!!

 These vintage bunnies are resting on an old candy box with Easter-Egg graphics...

 

 This is THE PRIZE of my whole collection!!!

~ViNtaGe Easter Bonnet Candy Container~

  First time out - picked it up LAST YEAR - After Easter - Ohio Buying Trip...

 I also LoVe my Antique Glass Bunny Candy Container...  Normally the candy inside would be on a smaller scale...

 

 The INSIDE of the Easter Bonnet/Hat still had it's original Pink Easter Grass!!!  I just love the OLD GRASS...

 The Bunnies are perched on top of an Antique Plant Stand...  An Old Flower Shop Umbrella Planter of Sort anchors the middle ~ "APRIL SHOWERS"...

 "KiSSing Bunnies"...

 

The Bunnies seem to be multiplying...
