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.

Some finds last Friday

My bff Kim Johnson and her husband are moving to Yucca Valley very soon -- [[[so sad]]]!!  Friday they had a pre-sale at their house to clean out stuff that needs to go.  I found some treasures to put in my Merchant Square booth next week.

Black velvet floppy hat 

Black felt hat with netting and feather

Off white child's hat

I love each of these old vintage hats.  I had to do a little brushing and steaming to get them back into shape.  Don't they look great??

Silver clothes brushes

Vintage purse

Old porcelain wall hook and shabby door plates 

Shabby purse close up

This wonderful old purse is very shabby.  But it sparkles in the right light!  Just too bad I can't capture that with the camera.  It is covered with rhinestones and you can see where tiny red stones used to be in the purse frame.  It is lined with sheer pink silk.

Small old trunk

Don't you love this shabby old trunk?  And what a surprise to find that wonderful paper lining!  Way cute for doll clothes, vintage treasures, etc.

Old shutters (before)

These six shutters are pretty dirty.  But they are sage green on one side and white on the other.  Plenty of water and a scrub brush cleaned these up nicely.  Here's the result:

Much better!!  I think they will make great decorator or display pieces.
