The Hanky Dress Lady at the Checkered Corner June Marketplace

Here are a few photos from my booth and and my lovely neighbor vendor, Diane at the Checkered Corner Marketplace. We had good weather and it turned out to be a wonderful day.

Early morning set up.

A little closer look.

Hanky Cottage Pillow Covers - made from upcycled vintage hankies.

This is my lovely next door booth vendor, Diane.

June Marketplace at the Checkered Corner

I will be a vendor here on Friday, June 20th only. Hope you'll mark your calendar and stop by to see what's new. I'll have some great vintage items, some special handmade home decor items, and a new line up of Hanky Dresses to choose from.

Scenes from Old Glory Antiques Fair - June 2014

This is going to be one of my longer posts - so many fun things to share. Old Glory this year was spent renewing old acquaintances and making new ones. So here goes - I hope you will enjoy the things that caught my eye.

First Stop - Genna Morrow Antiques

Patriotic Flags

I love Genna's stuff !!!

The Old Glory Booth

This is me and Fifi O'Neill - an extremely gracious and talented lady. I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet her. She is the founder and editor in chief of Romantic Country Magazine, French Country Style magazine and Prairie Style Magazine. Author of Romantic Prairie Style, The Romantic Prairie Cookbook and Prairie Style Weddings.

Another new acquaintance - Co-Co Nichole Bush, founder of REVISED Handmade Jewelry and author of Vintage Revised Jewelry. Such a lovely young woman with so much talent.

Wow! what a bed......and, don't you just love the paint job on that patio glider.

Sweet doll and chair!

Which one do you like the best?

Another one of my favorite vendors.....Terry of East of LA. She is a beautiful lady who sells beautiful home decor items.

Time to cool those toes - from left to right is Sonia, Terry and Jill.

Just loved this plant stand in
Pine Needle Creek's booth.

The other half of Pine Needle Creek - Donnie.

Sonia - the creative half of Pine Needle Creek.

June at the Paris Street Market

Following are a few of my favorite scenes from the June Paris Street Market in Littleton, Colorado.

It is early morning at the market and the walkways are still relatively open. My favorite time to shop.

Such a unique vase these bed springs and test tubes make!

Isn't she so precious!!! You can't see it, but she has a pretty pink collar. She is seeing the Paris Market in style in her "Load Master Wagon".

Just loved this ladder shelf idea!

Notice the girl's expression. Then take a look at the sign on the table.
This was just a fluke of photography and  I did not even notice it until I went to edit this picture.  How funny is that!

Shopping Alert !!!

Spring has arrived !!! 
How do I know?... because the first Paris Street Market of 2014 will be this Saturday - May 3.

If you have never been - you are really missing out. I rarely miss a market. Each one has new treasures to be found.

Prairie Style is Coming Back

I fell in love with the first issue of this magazine by Fifi in 2012 and am so happy to know that it is returning. You should be able to find it on the news stands in just a few days *** May 1, 2014 ***.  Here is some other great news - Fifi will be a guest at the Old Glory Antiques Fair in Clement Park this year. I know you'll want to mark your calendar....so I've posted the details about it as well.

Little Girl's Pink Bedroom

This is a photo of a little girl's bedroom that I found online at Houzz.com. I just love it. But I couldn't help but think...that this sweet room could be even sweeter if it had a touch of my Hanky Art.  Perhaps a framed Hanky Dress or a few of my Hanky Cottage pillows.



Traditional Kid

I call this one - Little Princess

I created these Hanky Cottages using bits and pieces of vintage handkerchiefs. They are slip covers that fit an 18-in pillow form.

You can find these items and others in my Etsy Shop.
