Merry Christmas

Dear Friends, 

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and hoping that 2014 brings you many blessings and wonderful junking adventures! Thank you for visiting here and for all the great conversations I've had with my fellow lovers of all things vintage, weathered, timeworn, and wonderful!

Aqua and White Christmas Decor

I finally got around to decorating the shelf in my mudroom. It was so cold last week, I just couldn't stand to be out there for very long. I've really been enjoying using the free version of Picmonkey for editing my photos. I am a little embarrassed to admit that I never bothered to use the crop feature until recently though. Duh!!

Winter Wonderland

We usually don't get much snow here in the Willamette Valley in Oregon, so when it arrived 2 days ago, it was a big deal! We also don't get single digit temps very often either. Brrrrr!! I braved the cold a couple of times to snap a few pics in front of the store and in the backyard...

Stay warm and have a great week everyone!

Holiday Marketplace Whites and Neutrals

I'm so glad I remembered to take before pics of our First Annual Holiday Marketplace at the Vintage 541 shop this past weekend. We were pleasantly surprised at how busy we were and so many items went home with very happy shoppers! 

Of course, the shop looks nothing like this now, and I definitely have my work cut out for me over the next few days to get the store in shape! 

I'm only including pics of whites/neutrals for this post. You can find some of our more colorful items in our Facebook album by clicking on the link on the sidebar to the right.

I was so happy to have two very talented vendors who handcraft their own jewelry join us for this sale. Both have decided to keep their items in the shop through the holidays too!

Vintage Flea Market

Last Saturday was so much fun! This was my first try at holding a Vintage Market and it was a huge success! Earlier in the week, the forecast was calling for lots of rain and possible thunder showers. Fortunately, the weather was decent for about 3/4 of the day and all the outdoor vendors were well prepared for the worst. 

Here are a few pics I was able to get. Many of them were taken the day before right after vendors set up. I am kicking myself for not getting pics of all the vendors on the day of the market. It was so busy!

I can't wait until the next one, less than two weeks away...
