Baraboo and Barrington Sneak Peek
It's was just past 8 a.m. and I ran out to pull items from the garage for the shows this weekend. I was out there for all of 10 minutes...the sweat is dripping off my red face. I don't do summer gracefully! Kathy will be with me at both shows and of course you'll find our usual assortment of prims, shabby, industrial, ephemera, and just plain fun stuff. Here are a few of the items that will be with me at Baraboo on Saturday or The Arboretum of S Barrington on Sunday.
The little white cabinet was a Door County find, as was the sweet round lunch pail. The old bucket is a favorite of mine - it's lived!
This small canvas-covered foot locker would look great as a base for your suitcase collection; but there's more than meets the eye here...
Faintly stenciled on the lid is 'Greenfield Police'. This was an evidence collection kit; all the small parts are gone, leaving a perfect case to repurpose into a 'secret' office or artist kit.
There's a place to stash everything you might need here, from pencils & brushes to paper & laptop.
We've got a small collection of farm-stand signs...
To remind you to eat fresh home-grown foods!
Hope to see YOU this weekend!
We're linking up with Faded Charm for White Wednesday. Put on your sunscreen, grab a lemonade and follow me over to see the inspirational posts this week!

ReplyDeleteHi Jan, I thought I was the only one who liked farm stand signs! Glad I am not. There are so many of them on the roadsides here in the south. My favorite is "Fresh Eggs" I think. Have a great show! ♥O

ReplyDeleteHoping you have a "light load" when you're headed HOME...
