Meet Amy from Whisper Wood Cottage and Junkologie…

I recently went to Oronoco Gold Rush Days…where 1200 vendors gather to display their wares. I stopped by to see Amy from Whisper Wood Cottage and checked out her Junkologie booth. It was as fabulously merchandised as I expected it would be. Lanette from Cottage Elements was at the booth, but I missed seeing Candy from Junk Sophisticate and Kathy from Sylvia’s Vintage Daughter. Here are a few pics of Amy and her Junkologie booth.

Weigh in…

Spotted this scale at one of my favorite shops…LeAnntiques and drooled over the blue. If you ever get a chance stop by LeAnntiques.

Northwoods Boutique…

 

 

Yesterday I went to the Northwoods Boutique, a travelling art, craft, antique and gift show, with my friends Kate and Connie. We were greeted by lively, metal sunflowers, and an incredibly friendly older gentleman. I wanted to share what they have to offer and the organizers were kind enough to let me take some pictures to show you. I am in awe of the talent of the vendors. Information on location, dates, and times can be found at the end of the post or by clicking here.

Our tour begins with this camper birdhouse!

I had two of the shelves below in my childhood bedroom and they held my dolls.

The red chair would be great on a porch.

The picture below doesn’t do justice to the mirror. It was fabulous.

Here is a close up of the mirror…beautiful…wish it could have come home with me.

These Easter bunny table runners were adorable.

I am addicted to rag rugs and have been shopping for a new black/white rag rug…the b/w one in the picture below was 4 x 2 and I need a 6 x 2…so I am hoping that the person who makes these will make one to fit my kitchen floor.

The fish shaped license plate is perfect for the Land of 10,000 Lakes.

I thought these round pillows made of embroidered towels were so charming.
