Temperature's Rising!

It's time to go....

Flea Marketing!!

Yes...we are scheduled up to four months...to go our favorite Flea Markets....the excitement of Spring being near has all of us itching to get there.

Here are some of our favorites we like to share with you... if ever in the area.

The Best That we Enjoy~~~


New Egypt Flea Market's

Great spot to find those unusual items..that are hard to find...when you get there your not looking for anything in particular...until it hits you...I must say "Prepare Yourself"  it's a place where you should wear your old jeans and sneakers and get  yourself ready for a small adventure...a quick hello to all our vendors out there..see you soon..

Located in
933 Rt 537
New Egypt, New Jersey

Ahhhh...Good Ole Columbus Flea Market...we've been visiting them since 1991...great place to find your antiques and vintage items...we have had the pleasure of taking our family and friends.... and of course other acquaintances  who like to make claim to this great spot ... ..but that doesn't stop us from going...
Stop by and check out this great market.  Hey Joe!! see ya soon.

Just Trying To Stay Warm...

Well its official!  Our little Ground Hog declared 6 more weeks of winter....sigh...Winter Blues...trying to stay as busy as possible to forget the Bitter Cold...

Lets See???

Can't Paint in our Work Shop/Garage is there a slang name for garage studio???? hmmmm.... temperature is about 28 degrees...much to cold, the paint won't spread well...least to say how long we would last....





So...We officially made our kitchen table our little Mini Studio for now...where we pretty much paint smaller items...mostly Jewelry Boxes...while cooking dinner, washing clothes, folding clothes you know...all the things that needs to be done..




sometimes we enjoy an occasional warm and toasty fire...mmmmm.... like this much better.






Here's our Jewelry Boxes for this week.

                              Vintage Cottage Chic Tan Jewelry Box

                                                     


Truly looking forward to warmer days..where we can catch up with the larger items....

Hope you enjoyed our little projects of this week..


Stay warm and happy!!!
