The Big Fish & A Little Sewing

Happy Tuesday!!!

Thought I would share my beautiful whites with you.

This chair I received in a trade from my friend Debbie.

It is down wrapped and the most comfortable chair I have ever sat in.

She made this wonderful slipcover for it which makes it even more special.

I have added some down pillows to make it oh so soft!!!

Ok, so you all know sewing isn't my cup of tea. It's not that I don't know how. I am a former quilter, its just I cant find the time. With soap & lotion making, working full time, being a mom of three girls and my junkin fun there is just no time.....However, I had this problem with a pillow cover that just wouldn't stay closed. The pillow kept falling out driving my little mind crazy...

Sew I Sewed two little buttons with ties and ta da.....Problem solved.

Very Pretty!!!!

Saturday night Christopher caught the biggest Chinook Salmon I have ever seen.

It weighted 45lbs. I have never seen one up close.

Boy are they ugly and some serious sharp teeth.

This fish took Mike over an hour to cut it up and two batches of brine to soak it.

It turned out sooo good!!!

Be sure to come by Saturday and say "Hi" at the Camas Vintage Street Fair.

Check out the Kindred Roses Blog for more info.

Also, I will be taking over some new treasures to Monticello so be sure to come check it out.

Have a great week

Vashon Beach Cottage

Mike, Sidney and I headed to Vashon Island, WA to participate in Island Thyme's 2nd Annual Antiques & Collectible Flea Market.

We had a really great time. Our beach cottage was very relaxing. Hot tubing on the Sound as we watched the ferry's float by drink in hand!!!! AAAHHHHHH

We ran into my friend Erin, from "Rickety Picket". She surprised us as a participating vendor.

She makes the best barn wood signs and is the sweetest person ever!

A Trip to Long Beach and Some Recent Finds

It's beginning to look like Spring at our Beach Property in Long Beach, WA.

We made the trek Friday night, only to be welcomed by a long Saturday of RAIN!!! Actually not just Rain, but NON STOP POURING RAIN.

I did get out and do some junkin and take these wonderful pictures.

My plants are awakening from a long Winter's nap.

I found these wicker chairs, and wooden shelf at a garage sale on Friday. The chairs will find a new home on my patio. You can come by and try them out at the
Whimsical Wishes Show
April 25th at my home in Camas, WA.



Here is the Tiffany lamp I also got at that same sale. Can you say STEAL @ $2.00!!!


This Pink Shabby Chic Coffee Table I found at the Antique Mall in Long Beach. I love it!!! It will be making the trip to Redmond for the JBUGS Sale this Saturday.


And this little Green Stool definitely said "TAKE ME HOME."
I am not quite sure what to do with the color. Do I leave it as is or paint and distress it???
What do you think?
Be sure to check out the Vendor Spotlight #2 "Surprised by Joy" on the Kindred Roses Blog.
Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Fantastic Show at Expo

Expo was a big blur, just like this picture.....

This is how it went down. Thursday morning Marci from Cottage Lights picked me up at 8am. We were off to Carson for some last minute junkin. What was I thinking?????? We went through 9 outbuildings...Oh my. I was a little overwhelmed. Purchased our incredible finds, load up the truck (boy was it loaded) head back to Camas, unload the truck, load the truck for expo, head to expo, unload the expedition, unload the truck, Christa comes, unload her expedition.

Friday, up early head to expo (after Starbucks of course) we start setting up, half way done, Marco ( a dealer from Japan) comes and buys most of our furniture, now we need a new layout and MORE STUFF!!! Set up number 2 almost done when another dealer bumps my upper cabinet and tips it over breaking a bunch of vintage perfume bottles, set up again......Needless to say it was a scary, awesome and a exciting experience and we can't wait to do it again in July. This time we will be outside sharing two spots with Marci. Monday I spent the entire day junkin, those pictures will be posted soon.

We met some fantastic new friends and signed up some great vendors for the Whimsical Wishes show in April. Kay from Surprised by Joy will be at our show and Marci from Cottage Lights will also be a vendor.

Sure to be stocked full of fabulous finds.

I did manage to get a few pictures of our booth, between the waves of customers.
