From Jeanine Chippy Shabby I always find the best stuff. I went right to her booth when the market opened. She always sells out quickly. Her stuff is so full of charm and chippiness.
First score from her is this chippy architectural piece.
 |
| I think I may make this into a candle holder. Not sure yet. I just love the chippy vibe it gave off in her booth and I had to have it. |
 |
| Next little chippy I found in her booth was this skinny bench. Ohhhh so cute. |
 |
| I have been playing around with putting things on it in my dining room. Not sure what will end up on it yet but it is fun trying different things. I don't know what it is about chippy little benches and me but this one is super cute. |
 |
| Ahhhhhh big time score. The minute I laid eyes on this candle chandelier I knew I had to have it. Jeanine told me this was from her personal collection and she was having a hard time parting with it. I can see why it is so gorgeous and vintage. Jeanine knew she was going to a good home so she let me have her. SCORE!!!!! I hung her over my mantel in my dining room for now. She may end up in my bedroom because of the romance vibe she gives off but for now I like her in front of the mirror over the mantel.

| Then it was on to another sweet and favorite vendor. Carol and her vintage potted plants. Carol takes unusual vintage things and plants them with flowers. She had a vintage golf bag today all planted, a couple of tool boxes, some old vintage food cans, old vintage wire baskets, well you get the picture fun things she plants up and makes them so so cute. I wish I had taken some pictures of the unique vintage things she uses to plant her flowers to sell. Next month I have to remember to take some pictures!!!! Carol is the person I got that great chippy blue door garden table from. I saw this picket fence box with the little garden fairy in Carol's booth. Loved this she came home with me . |
 |
| Look at the sweet little garden fairy. |
 |
 |
| Found a cute old Borden's Cheese box to sit my black cow on!!!! Super sweet. |
 |
| Since I bought the one box the sweet lady in this booth gave me this one too. Since I live outside Chicago in the burbs, I love that it had the Chicago address on it. Well my friends me and the hubs had a nice day to walk around the flea market. It was 75 and sunny and so beautiful. Just perfect to shop the flea market. It is always fun to chat with Jeanine and see all the other sweet vendors. I also found a few pieces of white iron stone. It was a great day. Have a great rest of the week end. Kris :) |

Great finds - I love your cow sitting on the cheese box!
ReplyDeleteEverything is so beautiful. I look forward to seeing where you will put everything in your home. I also love the little bench! I do miss yard sales here in the mountains - but, it does seem like lovely things come my way regardless. Your home is incredible. I appreciate all the white and light colors. A bit of my home is more shabby, but I think I am drawn to color - especially vintage colors. Anyway - I just love your blog and your pretty style!
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful things you found! Lucky you! I do like the little bench - and your home is just so lovely!
ReplyDeleteWow! Great finds! My favorites are the chippy bench, candle chandelier and the picket fence box!!! The chandelier definitely goes in the bedroom! Nancy

You found some fantastic finds, Kris. I love that chandy....and would have arm wrestled you for it-even though I don't know where I would put it...lol
ReplyDeleteI can remember getting cheese in those Borden boxes when I was a kid in Pennsylvania. There were several of them on the cellar shelf that my mother kept filled with assorted screws and bolts and nails, etc. What a fun day-glad it was nice weather, too. xo Diana
Hi Kris

You got some great things, Kris! I just love that planter. I love the first tote pictured, too, with the flowers. I was going to ask if she sells the items with the flowers, but you answered that for me. : )
ReplyDeleteWhat spectacular finds!! I am loving all of it but that architectural piece is so neat. The planter is adorable!
ReplyDeleteCynthia
Kris,
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous that y'all have so many wonderful vintage/flea markets to shop at (we have none). Looks like this was a good day for you....you sure did load up on some charming items to add to your already charming home.

I love everything you find. Can't wait to get there myself.
ReplyDeleteWhat luvly finds. I am having bench and chandelier envy!!! How perfect are they?!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday Kris. Ours started off great. Miss Bella chose to have her 5th birthday breakfast with GG and Papa and requested waffles with home made strawberry sauce, sliced strawberries and whipped cream. YUM!!! She said her GG ( she chose to call me that when she got comfy with us last year) makes the bestest waffles :-) Warms my heart!!!
Hugs, Gee

ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful finds! I would have taken them all home too! Love that architectural piece! It looks like dainty little vases or something!
