A wonderful collection of necklaces made 

with vintage trinkets. It will be hard to choose

just one! She'll be bringing other vintage & 

primitive goods as well! 

One woman's junk... well we know it's always 

a treasure with Daffadowndilly's! Cammie Methany

has just returned from the Nebraska Junk Jaunt.

I'm sure some of these treasures will be heading

to Shopkeeper & Friends this Saturday! 

These pictures of Paula Conner's wares 

are from our June Shopkeeper & Friends market.

 I can't wait to see what she's bringing this time! 

You can always expect wonderful primitives from 

Red Door Primitives! 

Poverty Hills will be here with

more PUMPKINS! ... and I'm 

sure a few treasures from the farm as well! 

These are just a few of the vendors that will be

joining us on Saturday! More introductions to come tomorrow!

 We’re doin’ it again!

Grab your friends & come spend the day at 

The "SToP"!

of the W.S. with primitives, jewelry, antiques 

handcrafted & repurposed goods! 

fun, food & friends

what more could you ask for!

neighbors driveways or park on the city's

Apologies from the 

Candy Corn Fairy... 

... no candy corn stakes or sitters this week.

We did get a new band saw and I haven't 

even had time to play with it yet! 

I will have them done for next Saturday the 24th! 

Lot's of Halloween stakes on the list

for our Shopkeeper & Friends Vendor Show 

on October 1st.  Mark you calendars

you won't want to miss this one! 

Wedding Reception... vintage style!

I was lucky enough to have a son (that used to say

he's never going to have that old stuff!) and   

daughter-in-law that likes vintage!

They had a destination wedding and 

then we had a party!

The reception was very casual... which I loved.

I'm not a fancy dress kind of girl! 

Stenciled signs guided guests to the reception

site in the country.

On each side of the entrance hung two banners 

made from burlap & stenciled read

All we need is love

Love is all we need

An old turquoise wheelbarrow filled with greens and

a hanging ball jar welcomed guests at the door.

A friend from the Whistle Stop did our flowers 

for us. Thanks Linda! They were just perfect!

Their guest book was a hand drawn tree.

Every guest stamped a thumb print and signed their name. 

Got Wisdom?

Friends & family were encouraged to share advise.

The tags were then dropped in the vintage birdcage.

Little old drawers held the tags.
The birdcage came from Simply Bungalow
in Lincoln, NE. 

Two love birds topped the birch frosting cake.

I found them on ETSY after the kids got engaged.

The forks were stamped with Mr. & Mrs. 

from Jill Ruth & Co. 

This vintage three tier table was repurposed

for a dessert stand. We made 125 mini peach

and apple pies!

Old porch posts were repurposed by the "Mr." 

for a clothesline to hold a time line of pictures.

A friend of the bride wood burned tree 

branch rounds that read

happy together

The food table was up on stage. To keep anyone

from falling off we used an old chicken feeder 

filled with ferns, daisies, ribbons and hanging

ball jars with floating candles. 

The old flash cards read...

she said yes

Another old drawer held hand stamped bags

filled with cookies!

The galvanized bucket was stenciled with birds

to hold ice cream cups.

Was tubs held pop, water & spirits!

We had games out on the lawn for everyone to play.

One of my favorite little people. 

An antique chalkboard for the kids

to draw. 

Guests received blue & green rock 

candies as a favor.  The sign read

You "rock" for sharing in our day! 

FALL MARKET...
