Wonderful Wednesdays #20

Happy Wonderful Wednesday! I wanted to do things a little differently this week, so I am picking three amazing recipe features from the first 19 linky parties, and featuring them today. Also, for a while, we are going to do every other week parties, as I need to focus on some other things (our Antiques business and our Etsy shop) as two examples. We are also getting ready to move our shabby chic booth at the antique mall over to a different location within the mall which is a major overhaul. So busy busy busy!

Let's get onto celebrating a few of the recipe features from the first 19 linky parties. 

At our Wonderful Wednesdays # 5, Stumbling upon Happiness shared their Pinterest review of these yummy Cinnamon Sugar Muffins.   I always love a good Pinterest review, so you know a few people have successfully made the recipe! 

At our Wonderful Wednesdays # 4, The Cottage Diaries yummmy Cinnamon Rolls. 

At our Wonderful Wednesdays #15, Thats My Home shared their Hot Cocoa Cupcakes. Perfect for a winter treat!

Just another junkin' trip

Junkin' is fun. Its addictive, and amazing, and fun. But anything can happen on a junkin trip! From spiders crawling out of something you picked off the yard at the flea market, to getting lost driving there, to getting stopped by the presidential motorcade, anything can happen. You can fill your car to the brim, or you can drive a few hundred miles to barely get a bag full of goodies. Its a gamble every time you go out, but boy is it fun! Whats hard, is not keeping it all! You are obviously drawn to things you like. You can't help it.
We have finally broken out of the house a few times recently (mostly because we were so sick of being snowed in!) and got some great picks we wanted to share with you.


I found this fabulous 1950's hamburger press at an Antique Mall a state over. I just loved the picture of the chef on the front. His patina is slightly chippy, but the hamburger press itself is in wonderful shape.

Anything vintage, rusty, chippy and with a great patina catches my eye. I am instantly drawn to it. This vintage Maxwell House coffee tin was no exception! 

These vintage bakelite keys also caught my eye right away! They are wildly popular with people decorating in the vintage industrial style.

 

 

Found this FB Rogers Silver Co. Carafe and isn't it a beauty!? Can't you just imagine coffee warming in this gorgeous decanter? Love it!  

                                                 

I have a slight obsession with vintage door plates. The beauty of this one - WOW! The beaded border, the slight red coloring, the shape, and the patina - just wow. 

Junkin' is addictive. Its fun, and challenging and wonderful all at the same time. What I can tell you is that I enjoy it, I look forward to it every day, and I can't wait to see what I find next time I go out! 

Antique Booth Tour

As many of you know, we have two antique booths at the local antique mall in our town. One is more of the shabby chic type, and the other we call a more primitive style.  This month, with the help of a fellow dealer/friend, who is amazing at display work, we have been working on revamping our primitive style booth. So here it is!

Sometimes, just moving things around can give the customer a different feel, and they stop in to see things they weren't able to see before!

We hoped you enjoyed the tour of our new look!

Wonderful Wednesdays Linky Party #19

When I woke up today (at 10am), it was -6. -6! That is without the windchill! It is a day where you only go outside if you 100% absolutely have to. So today, I am working from my couch a lot. The blog, My Etsy shop, and other parts of our business need some random maintaining, so I might as well take today to do it!

Lets get to the features from our last party!

Ever evolving life shared their beautiful house decor. I gathered a lot of good tips and inspiration here from my own house decor which is still evolving!

Want to know how to make real popcorn for the movie night you have planned with the kids this weekend? Or for your next snow day? Coconut Head Survival Guide shared their easy tactics for this fun treat!

Isn't this trunk redo by Iris Abby beautiful?! I have a trunk in my basement I need to work on, and this gives me the motivation!

Our Favorite (Gardening) Pinterest things

It has been dangerously cold here in Michigan. As in -30 below wind chill, and it has been that way more days than I care to think about. It has become very hard to do much of anything. I have been spending a lot of time lately daydreaming of warmer weather. In the spring, there is just nothing like seeing overflowing gardens, of pink, yellow and purple flowers everywhere.
I couldn't get over the last "Our favorite Pinterest things #4" post, where we showcased some amazing vintage, chippy mantels, so be sure to check that out. A while back, we also shared some of our most favorite Pinterest recipes, which we have made over and over in the past few months! Lately, I have been looking endlessly at Pinterest for gardening inspiration, and today, I want to share some that I have found with you! These come from my personal Pinterest page, which you are welcome to follow. And you can also see what we have going on, at our Wonderful at Home Pinterest page.


Finding a wheelbarrow (of course a vintage/shabby chic/chippy one) to plant some flowers in is something I will be looking to do! This gets you in the spring spirit doesn't it!?

                                                           *This pin went no where. If anyone knows the owner, I would love                                                                 to source them! I can't wait to try their idea!

I always seem to have a collection of galvanized buckets that I am selling in my Antique Booth, so maybe I will grab some when I am out hunting and fix this right up!

A vintage bike with a bucket full of flowers on the back? Yes please!

We don't have a tree stump in our yard as of now, but we may in the future, and I think this is a beautiful way to camouflage it!

Lets all keep daydreaming of spring, gardening and flowers. It will be here before we know it.... right?!
