 Vintage Waterfall Shabby Dresser  -SOLD

 This is a vintage piece.  The drawers all work well for the age of the dresser, but don't glide on metal sliders or wheels.  It's lovely wood constructed drawers in a wood dresser!

Painted with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Old White with a shabby hand distressed finish and sealed with a furniture wax for that aged finish.  Make sure you take a peek at the caster wheels!

 

Vintage Metal Green Birdcage $34

Fabulous patina!  Door opens and closes, bottom slides open, small wire handle on top.

 17 X 11X 13 tall

Nest with 3 faux eggs $8

 Vintage Bookpage Paper Wreath $26

 Vintage Hat Box $12

Such a sweet pattern!  

Please note, there is an approximate nickel size area on top where the paper was ripped, easily covered by what you wish to stack on top!

 Home Stamp pillow - sale pending

 

 

Thanks!

John's table

My friend asked me to paint and refinish a drop leaf table.  This table - with inventive supports for the leafs - was hand made by her great-grandfather.

I loved this story from the beginning.

The story continues~
Years ago, someone painted the apron the table top sits on, the legs, and one of the leaves.  The table top has also been replaced at some point in time, so it doesn't quite match the leaves.
Taken at first glance, the table didn't seem to be enticing to family members of this generation.  Knowing it had belonged to her grand-father, and built by her great-grandfather, said friend kept the table with her in the family, moving and storing it.  Now with plans to make it more appealing to her everyday use.


While prepping the table,  I came across this….

...written on one of the apron sides that supports the table top, but not easily seen with the leaves either up or down.

John was her grandfather.  

We wondered how old he was when he wrote his name on the table.  Why did he write it?  Did his mom know?

I love the stories an old piece of furniture can tell.

Hi penmanship is still on the table, we'll see just where our refinishing plans take us from here.

Peas & Forks

At least a year ago, I bought a group of 4 silver-plate dessert forks.

I didn't have any idea what I would use them for.  I just liked the bit of tarnish they had, and found them appealing, tied up in a little string.

About 6 weeks ago, I planted some pea seeds.  It was snowy and windy, and I thought a few green sprouts would add a hint of spring to our house and my booth at the last flea market.  (Then I loaded all my stuff into my booth and realized there just wasn't room for a plant!)

Yesterday, the plants were drooping over the sides.  It was obvious the pea plants needed some support and although the sun is out, Idaho weather is not yet kind enough to move these out to the garden beds.

The pea plants will outgrown them soon, sure. 

But I think these dessert forks will be used again as my garden forks.

Peace to you,

My how time flies, I am surprised just how long it has been since the Wildhare Vintage Flea Market, and it has taken me a bit to catch life back up.  Luckily, between soccer games, being a mom, and work, I pulled a few things out of the garage to snap some photos.  There is more to come, and more that I have recently found!  Thank you so much for visiting, feel welcome to scroll and click around!
