It was a gorgeous day on Sunday so Terry and I took a drive to Elkhorn Wisconsin for the final Flea Market of the Season.
Elkhorn Wisconsin is only about 45 minute drive over the border to Wisconsin just out side Lake Geneva.
They have in my opinion the best flea market around. I always find so many fabulous things.
Here are some of my finds from the week end.
 |
| Got these two chippy posts to add some fabric pumpkins too. |
 |
| Diner prices tray to hang in my kitchen. |
 |
| Old vintage rolling pins and a silver tray and little pumpkins. |
 |
| While digging through one vendors booth I found this old cast iron fireplace log piece. |
 |
| It was dirty and filled with junk but I fell deeply in love. |
 |
| Yep, I think it was her cute legs that grabbed my attention. |
 |
| Just a super sweet old crusty and rusty piece. Perfect for the opening of my fireplace mantel. |
 |
| Terry added some white paint to her to fit more in my decor. |
 |
| Added my sweet pumpkins from the pumpkin farm. |
 |
| Got this old white chippy bucket so I added some dried hydrangea's to it. |
 |
| Had this old chippy birdcage so added some white pumpkins and fall flowers. |
 |
| So until it cools down and I can add some of this decor to the outside front porch it will be fall in my dining room. |
 |
| This was my favorite find of the day. This wreath made out of old tree branches and corn stalks. The turning leaves still attached to the branches. |
 |
| I cannot leave well enough alone so I added some fall flowers to give her a little bling and a white pumpkin. |
 |
I have her hanging on my french doors out to the back patio for now but she will eventually go on my front door when my impatiens are done. It is still beautiful weather but they are saying by Wednesday we will be getting cold temps moving in and lots of rain on Thursday with cooler temps maybe only 60 on Thursday. So fall is trying to arrive in the Chicago land area.
I am excited to have Susan (Must Love Junk) and her hubby Keith come in on Thursday. Just wish the weather was going to be a little better. Hopefully with our junkin trips we will not notice the rain predicted for Thursday. Hopefully on Friday for the little town of Morris it will be cooler temps but sunny.
Have a great rest of the week. Some back on Saturday Susan and I will have another couple of wonderful bloggers in Spotlight.
Happy Week

Kris you hit the jackpot!! I love that pretty wreath too along with all the other goodies you brought home!! The vignette you created on your kitchen counter is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds Kris! I thought the weather was going to be nice Wed and Thurs but bad the rest of the week.But who knows you cannot rely on any forecast around here that's for sure! I am sure you will all have a fabulous time no matter what the weather is.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! Love the way you've styled everything (what else is new??) You are so clever!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds, Kris! It's always fun to go home and "play" after shopping for goodies!!

What beauty you find in things! I wish you could help me decorate and wish I had your eye!

Kris,
ReplyDeleteThat fireplace piece was a super duper find and it looks great in your home. I'm jealous of all of your Fall décor. I have been just too busy with my business, to do any fall decorating in my home. I guess I will just enjoy it at the shows that I will be a part of. Enjoy your visit with Susan, I know y'all will have a lot of fun, with or without rain.
Blessings,
Linda
Love all your vintage finds Kris... that old fireplace log grate is fabulous!... and your kitchen is so pretty!... you have such a way of arranging things to look just perfect... and your tree branch and cornstalk wreath is gorgeous... love the look of it at your window, and also love your gingham curtains... (notice I use the word "love" alot"???)... have fun when Susan and her husband arrive... xoxo... Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteI like all of your new finds. Those little white fabric pumpkins with the stick stems are adorable! I bet you and Susan will have so much fun that you won't care about the weather. We are having beautiful sunny cool weather this week after having had a rainy weekend. But rain will return by the end of the week here too. Could be worse. Have you seen what the weather looks like in CO? Awful!
ReplyDeleteYou found some wonderful goodies! My absolute favorite of your finds though is the cast iron log holder....LOVE that!!
ReplyDelete~Des
What wonderful finds, Kris. Love that log holder. I would have fallen deeply in love, too. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteOoohhhh, lots of goodies! Luv the wreath and yes, the log holder is a sweet find. I would have snagged it up as well.
ReplyDeleteYou found some great items! I was just at 3 French Hens and loved it! Cant wait to go back for the holiday show.
ReplyDeleteKris,
ReplyDeleteI can almost feel your excitement felt in anticipation on that 45 minute drive to Elkhorns last flea of the season. What fun to be with Terry as you both search for new found treasures experiencing the thrill of the hunt! Then the joy of creating new vignettes - which are always lovely.
I love the simplistic twisting of branches and leaves to form an organic wreath. I know it will give John and I am afternoon of seeking branches to create some free form twisted wreaths.
Enjoy your visit with Susan and Keith I am sure whether the sky is cloudy, sunny or it rains the joy of being together will become a cherished memory.
XOXO,
Vera
WOW, you found some great pieces Kris! I think my favorite is the fireplace log holder, perfect with the white paint! Enjoy and have a super fun time with Susan (and Keith)! Shop smart and LOTS so we can live vicariously through your great items :) Blessings, Cindy
