Bottlecap crochet was a thing? How did I miss that?

Grape hot mats. Big aluminum tray in a grape leaf pattern. Some things are just made to go together!
I thought they were made of crocheted puffs that were stuffed with fiberfill or something. And then I picked one up.
They’re heavy!
Find out how they’re made-it’s easy!

Last weekend’s “Of Autumns Past” show at Sage Farm was all-out beautiful. Lots of natural wood, harvest colors, and sparkling lights. Here are a few of my favorite things.
Curves & color & BIG PRESENCE—this green rush-seated bench has it all. Somebody else thought so, too, and snapped it up on the first day of the show.
I loved this shapely green bench! The dealer said he’d got it from the elderly original owners. It was Hitchcock or Hitchcock-style when it was new, and after the black paint wore off they painted it green, and after the green wore off it they didn’t do a thing more. Genius.
Come see us at Sage Farm this weekend!

Color, color everywhere at The Vintage Bazaar

(On second thought, maybe I just ignored all the safe, neutral stuff!) It’s chock full of fun and colorful treasures. I didn’t have a lot of time for shopping, but I did grab a few snapshots.
First, the furniture…
My dining room chairs are this exact style, but I never thought of doing this with them. Adding slatted seats has got to be easier than messing with new upholstery.
Green Siamese dining room chairs forever joined at the seat. And what a cool Tom Thumb typewriter!
You meet the greatest people at the Vintage Bazaar

We sold loads of vintage goodness, but my favorite part of the weekend is meeting so many fun and wonderful people. This year I got brave and asked some of them if I could take their pictures.
Rocking a fabulous outfit and Frida Kahlo floral head band.
She said I could take her photo only if her dog got in on the action. Why, certainly!
