Grayslake Antique Flea Market

Day one is over, and it was a fantastic day, thanks to so many of you who came out and shopped on this beautiful day!  Don't worry, though, if you didn't get there today; the show goes on from 8-3 on tomorrow, (Sunday).  
Look who I caught sharing the joy of junk!  It's Diane Passi and Jeanine (ChiPPy!-SHaBBy!).  Both have beautiful spaces this weekend, as usual. 

There was a most unfortunate incident when I unloaded for the show last night. I opened the back of my vehicle and five beautifully aged clay pots jumped out. 
Did you know that clay pots don't have a clue about "stop, drop & roll".  They got the "drop" part right, followed immediately by "shatter".  Instead of being lovely containers for a bit of greenery, they became 'filler' for a planter box.  Ya saw it here first, folks.  I suspect that before you know it, Pottery Barn will be showcasing "shattered pots" in the catalog.  If they do, do not, I repeat, do not purchase them.  Give me a holler and I'll set up a little tutorial so you can make your own.  On that happy note, I'm dragging my sleep-deprived self to bed. 

Come on out to Grayslake...we'd love to see you!

  5. I hate it when that happens and vintage clay pots are something serious. I do use broken clay pots in the bottom of other pots to promote drainage.
