May Market Recap

First & foremost, I would like to thank Traci & Monica of 3 French Hens & Anne Marie & Jason of Nada Farms for their unfailing dedication to making these markets successful.

May 12th, 2012
3 French Hens
Morris, Illinois


I went with a bright & light look at 3 french hens this month. these great porch posts from the ladies at The Sandwich Antique Mart didn't last very long



lots of great vintage green paint


pendant light that my husband put together, made from a vintage green enamel colander.... I ended up seeing a lot of people walking around with similar colanders, maybe I should have received commission from the dealers selling them :-)



frames, mirrors, frames & more frames


say goodbye to the cutest little pink truck

SEE YOU NEXT MONTH @ 3 FRENCH HENS - JUNE 9TH, 2012

May 18th & 19th
NaDa Farms
Esmond, Illinois


after selling a fantastic old door that my husband added huge horse tack hooks to it, I brought the buggy wheels on the 2nd day to finish the look off. you always have to check back at these sales on the 2nd day for the new items, or the items that vendors are willing to part with for less money.  The great grey farm table in this picture sold just like that...it was not coming home with me.


i love the comments on these cigar box purses!
Thank you Tim for your creativity


call me crazy, but I am in love with this dusty rose paint color.  I matched it perfectly with a wonderful linen/cotton fabric I used to make purses & runners.


no one has taken this pretty pink step-back cupboard home with them yet.  How cute would this thing be... as a cupcake display??


this wonderful oak table found a new home with Anne Marie.  it made a lovely display for my collection of game pieces.
