Sneak Peek for Saturday

Okay, it's the day before Collected Treasures Trade Days and I'm still distressing and staining. I ended up catching a cold from my darling children. So with achy bones and sore throat I'm in the garage sanding away up until the last minute. I really wanted to show you what I've been
working on, hopefully luring you to our sale. I didn't get the glass back in the cabinet doors yet, and the cute table is still being stained but this will give you an idea.
I saved those antique robins egg handles for just the right project, and this was it. I have 4 cottage chairs and used 2 different Cath Kidston patterns. Both have the same robins egg color. Are you seeing a theme here?
Cute little patchwork footstool and a covered dish. I love making these dishes, people really like them. And the adorable pint sized floral chair has been sitting in my collection for too long.
Stacks of great pillows to go on the bed that isn't ready. Oh, so much to finish tomorrow. I don't know how you guys who do the 'big' shows do it. I am burned out!!!!!!!!!!!!
Long on tables this time. Chippy, rusty and white.
I made a couple of EAT signs for match the hutch, table and chairs. One is vintagey...
The other is more mod.

I did not stray from my black and neutrals. I have 6 suitcase and a child's humpback trunk(not pictured). I stenciled the numbers on the seats myself.
I love this chair, I used a darker stain to tone it down and the fabric is great.
The funky manni will hold some mixed media supplies I have for sale, and she will also be wearing a price tag.



I couldn't leave out the white. White baby slips, little white jugs, buttons galore (the good kind too), I think I'll have enough White Wednesday pics for a month.
I've been collecting salt & pepper shakers to fill with German glass glitter since I saw it in Stampington last year.
I'm sure I will have some leftover for our Christmas Open House.
Don't know how this slipped in here but check out the dishes, don't you love that pattern?
Pretty little nest of tiny white jugs sitting atop white plates.

White slips, buttons and plates. Pretty.
This is a child's Fire King cup and saucer I filled with white buttons, what a beautiful presentation that would be as a gift.

My friends have been busy too. Here are a few of
Jana's projects, check out her blog Collected Treasures to see more.


And my sweet friend Carolyn has been knee deep in glitter for a month making these amazing Christmas cottages. She will also be selling her one of a kind pillows and other goodies. Check her out at Then and Now to see more of what she's been doing.
We have 30 dealers in all, really good stuff. No socks, sunglasses or travel size toiletries! Also check out Charlene at My Hearts Ease and Pat at My Tattered Elegance for more sneak peeks.
That's it for now, I'm taking my Nyquil and going to bed.

hi Lisa,
this is my first visit to your lovely blog. Wow, I've missed a great deal by hot visiting earlier. but the good part of blogs is that you can scroll down the pages and have it all there!!
Good luck on your Collectd Treasures Trade Days. You have so many treasures I'm sure youl'll just sparkle!!
Too Italy isn't exactly round the corner otherwise I'd be one of your biggest customers: love those white chipped rusty tables, those stashed cushios, those white pitchers but those gorgeous china plates and teacup with the rosey decor ar absolutely my fave. I'd buy them all with no hesitation.
When you are done with your trade days, come and visit my blog at http://ritashabbychicrose.blogspot.com/.
