French Antiques for White Wednesday!

For White Wednesday today I thought I would share another trip up to the antique mall that isn't too far from my daughter's house. You can bet that I will visit this place every time we head up that way just for this booth alone! Remember this post and Leslie's booth?  This is her booth again that I visited on Friday. Isn't this European telephone neat? Love it!

Fell in love with this sign too!

Many, many wonderful items in Leslie's booth!

I don't know for sure , but I am guessing that she made these wonderful totes.

Love what she has done with these old architectural pieces too.

Does it get any better than chippy iron and WHITE?? I think not! :)

Smallest corbels I have ever seen.

Overall shot of the booth

Just pure beauty everywhere I looked!

I would have loved to brought this home with me, but I can't buy everything. My wallet just won't allow it. :)


I noticed that she put one of her french enamel numbers on this basket . Neat idea!


Love how Leslie displayed her business cards in the little clay pot.

Three little Belgium seed pots.
This  was my purchase and I was thrilled to find them for a price that I could afford!
I have more photos, but it would take forever to upload them all in one post on dial-up internet so I will do a follow-up post soon.  I sure wish her booth was closer to where I live, but maybe that would not be a good thing because I would be tempted to spend more money than I should. With that in mind,  I will be happy just to visit once in awhile and then it will  be that much more special . Happy White Wednesday a little early. Be sure and visit Kathleen over at Faded Charm again tomorrow to browse more beautiful whites.

My booth and wandering Gypsy

Remember when I gave up my booth to take a break from whatever it was that I was doing? I recommended that my friend Marian take it. {Remember I met her at her store in Blissfield ,Michigan and she knew who I was from reading my blog ...she grabbed me and hugged me} It was a great day!! Well anyhow...she now has my the booth {why I keep calling it MY booth I have no idea because it really isn’t mine anymore} and I wanted to show you how fabulous she has it all set up. I intended to get back up and get some more pictures and that has not happened.

                                      Love all these goodies and how she has them displayed.

                                            I am thinking I need this sign for my kitchen!

                                                            Gorgeous chandelier!!

                                                     In L.O.V.E. with this chalkboard.
                          I stole her idea and came home and wrote the same thing on  mine.
                                                             shh...don't tell her! :)
                                                         
                                              Can't have too many pillows!

LOVE...LOVE...LOVE this basket too!!

I just love everything about how she has it all set up and I hope she stays
there for a long time because it is the best booth in the whole mall!!!


I am so tired today , but wanted to get this post up since it has been several days since I posted. I have just plain ran out of steam from shopping today so I will be resting tomorrow. {that is the plan anyways}   *Smile*


Now for some sad news regarding my kitty Gyspy...she has wandered off and we have not seen her since Sunday.  Remember hubby found her in the middle of the road and brought her home? I think she was born to wander.  We really think that she went to church with us or my daughter's family underneath
the car and then made her home in the town that our church is in. Several of us were standing inside the
church foyer Sunday and noticed this kitty walking around underneath cars and someone made the remark that it probably rode to church underneath someones car. We now think it
was Gyspy because we haven't seen her since!! Little stinker! We put out the word and drove through town looking for her, but so far nothing. I have a feeling if she did come back that she would just do it again.
She obviously has a wandering spirit and just can't stay too long in one place.
Darling gd Annika just loved her to pieces and played with her last time she was here... I haven't told her yet.
I am not planning on replacing Gyspy, but I will keep her memory in my heart.

Amazing french antique mall booth

I sure have been doing a lot of blog posts lately
haven't I? I go from one or two a week to several,
but I have just had a couple of very interesting
weekends that I had to share with you.

On the way up to visit with our
daughter and her family we stopped at an
antique mall that I found on our last visit.
I was in awe when I found a french
booth this time around. I loved everything
about it...all the goodies and the displays so let
me take you along with me today. I know
you will love it too!
This is the cutest ever vintage french water glass
and carrier. I opened it up and inside is a small
clear glass that says, "made in france" on
the bottom. I had never seen anything like it
before. So cute!!

Neat french style pillow in an old bed.

I also adore old gates! someday...*sigh* Can you say french seltzer bottles? I also thought this wire plant stand was a keeper.
I reallyyyy wanted the papers underneath the french
pharmacy boxes with the french writing, but they were
for display only. I looked and looked for a price and could
not find any. Bummer.
French cemetary urn...very small compared
to what I see here.
I love enamel number signs.
I am thinking of doing something like this
to an oval frame I have and using it for
a wreath. I think I can figure something out
along those lines. :)

{the linens you see in the middle of it are not part
of this booth. They are showing through the window
from another booth}

Truthfully I could have just bought the whole booth
if my pocketbook would have allowed.ha!

Loved these doorknobs too , but a girl can only have
so much stuff right?? I am already cleaning out stuff
and donating it to the church garage sale so I need to
be really choosy with what I bring home. If I still
had a booth I would not be so choosy because I could
just schlep it up there eventually.
Neat little zinc trays...I looked at these for a long time
as well.

I wish I had gotten a better photo of this darling
vintage french lunchpail. It was light blue enamel
with white speckles and it had a little removable
tray underneath the lid. So, so cute!

I know there were a lot of photos and I hope you enjoyed
your tour of the french booth. I took so many photos in
it that I am surprised they didn't chase me out! :)
Blessings~

Taking you along...

with me to Memories Antique Mall/Garden Art Emporium
in Michigan while visiting my daughter this past weekend.

I think I will always love a touch of pink
somewhere in my home.

Love these jars with the pale roses.

This table was only $36.

cute vintage lampshade
This was a neat space and I loved many of
the items.

This booth had a lot of great bottles.

I always love finding* new to me* antique places and this was no exception. I will definitely be
making a stop here each time I visit my daughter. Happy Monday! Blessings~
