More Country Living, Austin

Happy Wednesday!

I still have a ridonkulous amount of

photos to share from the Country Living Fair

in Austin, Texas last month,

so here's another handful to satiate your hunger

for fab vintage junque.

Here we go!

 Suitcases...

....Suitcases...

...Glorious Beautiful Suitcases!

 And who could resist that jaunty little fellow above?

Gotta love a man in tights.

Off to price some items for the shop

and get prepped for Friday's photo shoot.

Happy Trails!

Happy Monday!

I've got a lot of irons in the fire these days,

so I'm running a little behind 

in getting my photos posted

from my trip to the most excellent

Country Living Fair in Austin last month.

But where better to start than with the

fabulously talented folks from

The Red Door Antiques,

Tricia and Jerry.

Based out of Eddyville, Kentucky,

they describe themselves as

" Antiques & Uniques: 

A blend of Country, Urban, Industrial, 

Architectural, Garden & Quirky! "

Me?

I just call them plain old wonderful!

Their collection of vintage ephemera is

pretty much unrivaled anywhere,

at least to my mind.

A little of this,

a darlin' little bit of that...

And then there are 

the flash cards.

Lawdy Mercy, did I mention 

flash cards ???

Uh yeah, they've got a few.

Pretty much any and every 

word under the sun, no doubt.

And not just words, no sirree,

they've got vintage pricing cards...

old political propaganda...

pretty much something for everyone,

to my mind!

And all styled with finesse and grace

by the beautiful Tricia...

Along with the always smiling,

word wrangler supreme, Jerry.

Great folks, and I can guarantee you that this

talented team hasn't seen the last of me!

I'm a fan for life now!

Nesting...and the Laboratoire

I find a lot of interesting curiosities

in my treasure hunts, but I simply could not

pass this delicate beauty by...

It's an actual birds nest with unhatched eggs.

So lovely, and so perfectly at home on my kitchen scale.

It also represents quite adeptly what has been going on

here at the homestead.

Nesting.

Finally getting things arranged and pulled together

and ready for photos. I realize how patient

all of you have been with me as I get this old home

styled, and primped and foofed.

It won't be much longer, promise.

In the meantime, I have a handful of lovely images

to share with you from my recent visit to my friend Carol's shop,  

Carol Hicks Bolton Antiquites, Laboratoire de Design.

 Lots more new photos to share from the Laboratoire,

and also from Smitten, the new shop where

I am honored to be a dealer.
