SHE SAID YES!!!!

What a fabulous day of junking!



We began at a rarely visited haunt and found amazing lamp parts and,(be still my heart), a 1920's Pendleton blanket. I made a ridiculous offer and SHE SAID YES. I found the perfect spot for it when I got home.



Next, we found a vintage sconce at another place and A SOLID WOODEN WIGMAKERS STAND.



It has a deliciously rusty clamp on the bottom!

We started home, but I pulled over at a pile of junk on the curb, made inquiries, and we were invited to pick a hidden basement....AND BOUGHT AN ENTIRE BOX OF VINTAGE CHANDELIERS!



We unloaded at home and Glen hung the chandeliers and went in to order parts.



and THEN HE MADE THIS AMAZING LAMP FROM THE BASE AND PIECES WE FOUND AT THE FIRST STORE.



We picked up a few other vintage rusties along the way for our spot at Camas Antiques.
Does junkin' get better then this?

Camas Antiques spot

Wow, we did GREAT at the Camas Plant Fair! What seemed to be an out-of-the-way spot was actually wonderful.
Sold almost all of the birdhouses and feeders and here are a few at Camas Antiques, now.




Have to admit, my little spot needs a theme. Though we've done well, it's a bit of a mish-mash with only 3 shelves to really work with. SO.....stay tuned for a transformation soon.
