The witches the witches, they're on their way... That means you too, I dare say. It's so exciting and wonderful and magical too. To get to celebrate such fun each year with you. I hope you are wearing your best pointy hat and fluffiest bloomers, because... Your transportation has arrived. ...

The Shed Project: Part One
Hello, My Friends!~~ Down in our little corner of Virginia's northern neck we have a vacant lot across the road from the waterfront Great Wicomico River cottage. In late July we decided that it was time we did something with it. The lot had been vacant for thirty years and was used for disposing...

Happy New Year Wishes & Lots of Holiday Pics ♥
I am dragging my holiday feet. Oh yes I am. A little snow in the desert made it linger. I'd love a few more days to veg out, wouldn't you? I am over the hustle and bustle of the holidays, but a vacation. Oh yes, that's what I need, you? It did snow a few days ago, but today it was sunny and de...
Oh to have those prices now! The graphics are fantastic. Wouldn't they be fun to frame and hang in a kitchen or dining room.

Collection Challenge #238 - Vintage Children's Menus
Small collection today. Children's menus. I have 4, so that is over the magic number of 3, that makes a collection. There is something about the darling graphics, the interesting food choices (with their cheap prices) that makes these appealing to me. This menu is from Yellowstone and is dated...
Fabulous! Well done. Bravo, bravo!!

Our Holiday Home--Who Is De-Decorating Our House???
Hello, My Friends!~~ Yesterday we decorated the outside of our house for the holiday season. I cribbed this idea from facebook and gave it our own twist. I drew the images on plywood, hubby used his excellent woodworking skills to cut them out, and then I painted them. As you can see this villia...
I'm sure you will sell out!! Best wishes and congratulations on the article.

Crafty Wonderland Weekend
Wow. It is here...the last show of my holiday season. The truck is packed. Actually it all didn't quite fit in, so Ben will load some in his Subaru when he comes to help me load in later today. Lucky for me I am fairly small as there is not much room for a driver. I also got my fifteen minut...
Love it! The owl adds the perfect touch!

Fun & Easy Fall Wreath from Dollar Store Goodies
Hello, My Friends!~~ Our front door needed some sort of autumnal sprucing up. I challeged myself to make a wreath using only goods from the dollar store. My shiopping list included: 4 bunches of artificial flowers, glittery owl, gingham scarf, wire wreath form, and 3 bunches of artificial leaves...
A dream come true! Your own private vintage Christmas sale. I dream of such things!! Good for you!

Estate Sale Adventures: Private
Hello, My Friends!~~~ Just a couple of minutes from my house, I popped into a fun family run estate sale. They had orginally advertised the sale beginning tomorrow (Saturday) but their sign advertised the sale starting today. I only saw it because the house was on the way to the post office wher...

Hello, My Friends!~~ I took a quick trip from our vacation home to White Stone, VA (and thrifted along the way, of course) to a wonderful shop called FARM. FARM is run by Emily, the neice, of Mary Randolph Carter who was there signing her new book, but more about the book in a minute. If you lov...
You did well despite watching other vintage Christmas treasures being dragged away.

Hello, My Friends!~~~ Heartbreak, oh, heartbreak! OK, too dramatic, but at the time...well the drama in my mind was so real. I'm better now, but you may want to know what happened to me on an estate sale adventure today. Let's start at the beginning... This morning I headed out to an estate sale...
A trip down memory lane. What fun. Best wishes with the Vintage Home market.

Hanging Around The Attic
Hello, My Friends!~~ This past weekend we visited my parents who have lived in the same house, designed by my architect father, for 52 years. It was time for me to hopise myself up through the hole in the ceiling and to access the tiny attic and unburden my parents with stuff they don't want. Mo...

Hello, My Friends!~~ I found the CUTEST vintage Valentine planters recently and had to turn them into fun, whimsical decorations for you! Just listed in Dime Store Chic! This vintage Napcoware planter from the late 50's is SO cute! I love the pixie with paintbrush and mushrooms adorned with he...
Love it all! Your home looks so festive! How wonderful to your Grandmother's aluminum tree too! I loved those mini shadowbox ornaments so much from Elizabeth's swap, that I keep mine up year-round on my pink feather tree in my craft room. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas From Our Holiday Home!
Hello, My Friends!~~ We have pulled out the tree and the bins full of holiday cheer and have decorated our home! I thought you might like to see what we have done. Nothing spectacular like the Griswolds, but our holiday home is cozy enough and doesn't take more than half a day to put up. The mos...

Hello, My Friends!~~ I have been MIA from blogland. No real reason. Just that I didn't think I had anything to share that you might find particularly interesting. I am crafting like a mad woman for the sale in 5 weeks (gasp!) in Williamsburg, VA on the campus of The College of William and Mary ...
Love your herd of reindeer. Easter is so hard to find. Good for you. Love the plastic Santa too. Treat bags!!! Yippee. It was a good day in estate sale land.

Estate Sale Friday and Saturday..Back in the Groove
It has been almost a month since I hit a good estate sale. Aunt Tillie's crawl space was my last vintage foray. The estate sale season is slowing down and I have been crazy busy with holiday show stuff. I did make time this weekend to hit two sales as well as a big antique show at our Expo cent...
I absolutely adore that children's menu. The graphics are amazing. I'm always amazed at what things are saved over the years. How nice that you get to rescue them! Love those over-sized matches too. I see lots of crafting potential with most of your lovely treasures. Good for you! Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Estate Sale Friday and Saturday..Sweeping in Some Good Stuff
I hit two sales yesterday and one today. I found some good stuff. It is crazy rainy and stormy here so I am not venturing outside to take photos of my loot. My loaded up kitchen table. The fabric covering the table is an old duvet cover, so there is lots of yardage. A box of old sight phra...
Love those black and white photos. Those flower clusters are pretty neat too. A nice little haul. Chris came home with a box full of putz houses. A nice way to end a very long work week.

HI GANG..It is Estate Sale Friday
Hi Gang! I hit one estate sale today (there were not many listed). I also hit a couple of garage sales as I was hunting for a dresser for Ben to take back to college with him. I usually don't hit garage sales so was glad it paid off by finding a dresser. Most of these items came from the e...

Hello, My Friends!~~~ I keep the stash of vintage goodies that I use in Dime Store Chic creations in the basement hallway that leads to my studio which is tucked away in the corner of the basement. It's a real room and I do love my creative space so much. But you may (or may not) be interested t...

Hello, My Friends!~~ My blog has been tidied up a bit and given a new name! I have always loved the title "Dime Store Chic" that I chose for my vintage etsy shop and decided that it described what I do, what I shop for, and my style very well. I am working on other consolidations as well. I am g...
Love your mini stove and that red tea pot is very sweet. Patch makes a fine model. I'm glad she is feeling better. I've been known to buy Josie doll beds and then end up playing with them more than her. Happy soon to be weekend!!

Vintage toys and other playthings
I found this little metal stove at last week's estate sale. My teapot is a little big for it, but I like the look nonetheless. I found this wicker cradle on my fourth or fifth pass through the house. I can't imagine why it hadn't been snapped up - maybe because it was filled with hideous s...
You are one dedicated shopper and it really paid off. I'm glad all your anxiety produced so many lovely treasures. Good for you.

The list of what could go wrong
Do you worry about everything? I do. Friday night, I was worried specifically about a sale I wanted to go to Saturday morning. Would I find it? Would I get there on time? How early should I get up? If I got up too early, would I be so tired the rest of the day I wouldn't get anything done? At...
Love that chalkboard!!! Polka dots. Does it get any better? Sweet little case too. Of course, I love those bunny shoes. So very darling. Of course, your haul of Christmas/Easter is simply perfect. Glad the temps finally warmed up on this shopping day. Yea-Haw!

Hello, My Friends!~~ This past Friday, I attended an estate advertised only on Craigslist. The ad was written in a very high-strung manner, the author repeating several time in all caps: NO EARLY BIRDS. The cryptic directions to the sale indicated it was in the neighborhood next to mine, but the...
