PICTURES Found, these goes to my brag book...






First Pics are from my table , pretty in Pink..
Ok I went crazy looking in my files for this pictures and I finally found them, let me tell you the story behind these pics,  I participate in the Petticoats and Parasols as a vendor  last April in Savannah, we spent the weekend  there, we came home and I went on a crazy frenzy trying to finish some projects at home, I  download these pics and store them I "lost" them in my hubby's computer, so I coulnd't blog  this event on time, today cleaning my files I found the pictures and let me tell you I enjoyed so much looking at them, so I'm not going to edit them I'm just gonna show them to you as I found them, and I will attempt to tell you what is what...


Back in The Day banners and decoration, lovely bakery and awesome ambience,I  enjoyed their great cupcakes so much that I took my kids next morning to find our that their cup cakes fly off very early in the morning, Cheryl is a great bakerhowever the most sweetest thing about her is her bubbly personality, I talked to her and her husband, you can tell they make a wonderful couple and team. I vote Back in the Day the best red velvet cupcakes in the world, in my opinion...Jo Packman was the host speaker for the event so I had the chance to meet her, she was chatting all afternoon with vendors and guests, let me tell you  she has some great anergy about her, very friendly very and down to earth, at the end of the event when everybody was picking up their wares she was right there offering a hand. I was really excited to meet her because she is the thread that unites so many creative women and she attends to so many events no matter where they are, she is truly inspirational
Her artist name is Dollybelle, gorgeous girl, really nice, great artist, beautiful blog http://www.dollybellespeepshow.typepad.com/




Amada was just across from my table, she is a awesome artist, here you can see her with a costumer at the event... her eye candy blog
 
 
 
Paper Goodies, I can't remeber the vendor name, need to do some research...and the very talented and lovely Cathy Scalise in pink fairy,  
The hostess who made it possible, the gorgeous Jennifer Hayslip, she was so gracious and hospitable, she is also a great artist in all she touches, thanks you Ms Jen!

Junking and Treasures

This weeks show and tell, I score a huge Flour canister, perfect for my vintage kitchen, a tiny iron belly stove toy, I fell in love with this little stove because I had the little scale that compliments the set, I hope to find in the future some other pieces like the iron and such, another fav find was the electrical coffee maker, almost brand new, definetely in awesome condition, and a gilded chandelier.
 
This is my fisrttime joining some parties so I'm really exited to show you  another "lot" of stuff what I have score recently, since we are now stationed in the south I've been looking for southern stuff, I score big with this two iron banks, the super cute tools caddy, a plant stand and a tin red star.
I plan to use all this stuff so I gave to my children a piggy bank to start saving some coins and I plan to use the caddy on holding the catsup, mustard, salt, napkins and such, that will be a fun and easy way to keep it together when grilling.

Vintage Hats Vignette

I wanted to share my little vintage hats vignette, I collect all types of hats, I specially love the children's hats .
The bonnets and wedding hats seems to find me, I had wished for a top hat to decorate with feathers.
I found masculine hats very romantic, this androginous face is like a reminder for me that I need to balance things.

Savannah's Paris Market and Brocantes

One of my favorite displays of white dinerware,  crystal, and probably hotel silverware and many trays and tier stands on a farm table holding everything together. The smaller industrial table can be used as a bench as well.
 I have always wished for the apothecary beverage server with brass spingot.
 Great display on the back of  huge provencal baskets 

.

Hotel key/ messages holder cubicles, I can think of many ways to use this one.
Love love love this store, it's romantic, has great vignetes, and I absolutely adore the way they display botanicals and curiosities, a mix between romantic with a touch of masculinity


I like the idea of converting a basket into a cart with wheels, perfect for a table. great piece of conversation.


I went completely nuts downstairs, literally, my kids were misbehaving and trying to touch, my husband is no good at stores and I was in completely awe so see many goodies, I love apothecary  amber glass, the smell of old leather covered books, I'm a collector what can I say. This twig mirror is very appealling, upcycled  and I guess not difficult to make. Pew or bench gorgeous in person, big heavy and sturdy, however you need a big room to place it.
This corner was definetely very gothic, I'm still looking at the pictures for "orbs". The ones that appears on pics when spirits manifests, my kid in the other hand was having a blast playing with antiques, I don't recommend to bring your kids with you but in my case it was not up for discussion.

 I plan to post much more pictures of this store in the upcomming days
