Alisa's Old Milk Scale is so cool and what a wonderful tone of color!

Alisa has some pretty cool stuff in her space. I love this industrial chic antique table and how about that old drafting stool - it swivels!!!

Fabulous old photography parts and pieces! 

Here's Alisa's antique Royal typewriter - with just the right look! This would be a cool piece to add to Dad's Study!

Like me, Alisa is attracted to those unusual finds, of architecture, nature and even that discarded industrial treasure for that unique look!

vintage containers

 Nature - tortoise shell, feathers and antlers - now Alisa just needs some nests! You should see some of them she has found in the past!!! TDF!

This just in.....literally! 

Alisa was just here and switched out her yellow dresser to paint it for a customer (cream)

and has brought in a nice teal short Armoire!

This armories has two doors and when you open it there are shelves on the right side from top to bottom inside and on the left a full wide open space. I think this would be a great piece to put a television on and has space inside for you DVDs, tapes, etc. and on the other side some blankets, pillows or whatever! Very cool piece. Alisa has so many more items for you to check out so

please come by Cottage Panache and check out Alisa's new~old digs.

Thanks for stopping by my blog, keep calm & carry on,

stay cool and be sure to drink plenty of cool water!

OH MYGoodness! Random!!! Etsy pic

Back up close

full back

Oh my goodness - I haven't been able to do hardly anything online. If it weren't for my iphone, I would have gone really crazy. Anyhoo - right before all this started happening I had decided to sell on Etsy after much coaching, poking and proding to some of my friends to do so themselves, I finally bit the bullet! Soooo, after listing a few items (four at one time!!!) Woohoo! Then right after that, the internet on my dell 6400 Inspiron laptop started acting up. If it weren't for my phone with internet I would have lost it! The only thing is that I can't seem to get my contacts to come up on it so I can respond to emails. It is slow to load emails also. When an email finally comes up to read it - it 's a day later. I haven't been able to blog, list more things on Etsy, or even update my website! Going Bonkers with it all!!! Called Dell and after hours on technical support they sent me a new wireless card but it was a GIGAbit - HUGE!!! Didn't fit - sent it back - bought 3 more parts didn't fit! So I finally gave up and bought a new laptop at Sam's!!! It doesn't have the full version of Microsoft Word on it and so I am struggling to edit the pixels on my pics for Etsy. They are just too large for Etsy's format so I am going to put a random picture for a convo on Etsy. So only this person will understand but here they are.

And I can't seem to get the pictures at the end where I am trying to put them! Oh well, hope this helps and that it's not too late!

p.s.

It is now a day later because when I pushed the publish post button, nothing happens. So now a day later after enabling the javascript, let's see if it works. I am crossing my fingers!!! Okay this feels so pointless for I am clearly just typing to air, cause it didn't work. When I push the publish post javascript:void (0) shows up down in the left corner of the screen!
Oh hurrah - hurrah! I figured out what was wrong in the forum! I was using the old editor in blogger!
Now I will convo with the Etsy customer in Sydney who is was and hopefully hasn't totally lost interest in this vintage chalkware statue!

FYI! shoppybag SCAM!!!

Lately, I have been getting an email from, what looks like is from friends! The first actually was about a month ago. I called Shirley when I saw this email about shoppybag and inquired what it was - this shoppybag ~ and she said don't open it ~ it's a scam and they were sending to her peeps!  So if you get an emil from a friend asking you to join shobbybag.com. Don't click on this link or open it ~ delete it immediately for it is some sort of a bug where the get into you computer and does who knows what with your info but will surely reek havoc on your pc! The emails first came to my spam but today I got one in my regular in box. DELETE! Just wanted to share this with everyone that hasn't dealt with it yet.

Here are some pics I would like to share of new merch in the cottage, fabulous finds, and some that I am trying to decide whether or not to release from  my  greedy little hoardin hands stash and pickin collections!

My Third Anniversary Cottage Sale and Antique Flea was a success! We were so busy that we forgot to take pictures AWWW! Everyone braved the winds that came on a warm sunny day.

These are pics of some of the treasures that I picked from my GREAT Pickers,

antiquers/collector that joined me for the day.

I love these cards!!!

In these, which I picked from Alisa's booth, I am seeing a future project/workshop!

Got these clay pots from Alisa! Put them in a section of my new/old! chicken coop I got from Ally!

 

Not sure if I will sell these by the piece, a game hand, by pairs or what, I just know I must keep one hand for myself unless someone is able to pry them from my greedy little hoarding hands! Just let me say it again ~ I LOVE THESE CARDS!

If you really know me, then you know I have a weakness for old postcards, shells and creamy white ironstone dishes. But when I found these ironstone shell dishes I begged the Lord to hold me back!

Too late, they now reside at Cottage Panache.

I just fell in love with this antique photo album, but haven't done anything with it yet. The photo pages are not all perfect,

but some are in good shape. The latch even works (which I hardly ever find one that does). The cover is celluloid and in pretty mint condition along with the brass working latch (oh I already said that it works didn't I!) It's good to re-iterate some things! I will either have this for sale at the cottage (priced firm!) Perhaps I will try it on ETSY also!

From my hoard STASH!!!

Eenie Minie Moe, what will I let go! Well the ring box is actually a consignment item so definately that will be for sale. They don't make them like this anymore. I had a red one that was almost identical but it sold from the Valentine display. The customer was going to put her beloved parents rings in it for display I think!

I don't know if you can read them but the two heart pins say Nannie on them.

Well, you know I am in the business to sell and I can't keep everything so it's in the cottage for these treasures. More to come soon and I'm now off to price some lace and linens and some wonderful vintage jewelry for Mother's day gifting!

Thanks for stopping by.
