Merchant Square sale Oct. 1-3

I was in my booth (C-6) at Merchant's on Monday.  I put in new items, rearranged things to give it a fresh look, vacuumed it out and then took pictures.  Here are just a couple of the pics I want to share with you.

New shabby white dresser

That pretty pink dresser sold last week.  Knew it would go quickly.

Items on top of the white dresser

Pretty clothes

Found these at an estate sale.  The top is a pretty peasant blouse style in pink with blue that matches the skirt.  The blue full skirt feels very silky and needs that plum colored petticoat to make it stand out!  The dark blue item is a pair of ruffled pettipants to be worn under the full skirts.

Vintage shabby items

The shabby shutters are there, lots of vintage frames, old paint brushes, Cinderella home window, and more industrial chic items like door face plates, hinges, and drawer pull face plates.

This is just a sampling of the items in my booth that will be for sale all week as well as at the upcoming mall sale.  I will be taking in a few more items before the sale begins.  Please check my shop Facebook page, Judy B's Shabby Chic for the September 27 picture album of the things I put in on Monday.

No new computer . . .

However, from time to time the screen clears and I can read posts, do emails, and now I am going to do a blog update in spite of this glitch!

This is the desktop screen I see. Colorful, but totally awful! But once I get on the internet, it clears up somewhat but it depends on what I am looking at. Drives me nuts when I want to read something and I have to guess what the words are in the jibberish columns!

Want to show you these two pictures. I bought the frames at a flea market and they contained needlepoint bird pictures. Didn't care for the needlework because it looked grungy and wrinkled in the frames. But the frames were great! Gold, oval and they have convex glass in them!

I love these ladies! The images came in another set of pictures I bought some time ago. I removed them, scanned them in and plan to use them often. The images here are printed out of the computer. I probably won't part with the originals -- at least not yet!I have grown to love these kinds of images and am now collecting them wherever I find them. I generally see pics of ladies in gowns and they are labeled "La Mode Illustree". I plan to do some research on this and see what I can find out.
