Last Week's Find: Cheese grinder to Fairies.

 Some Junkin', Thriftin', and Craft Show Finds

 Last week was very busy, but everytime I was out, I went to a thrift shop or garage sale, on the hunt for OLD, NEW, GREEN, to REDO.

Sunday, E and I went to a craft show...more on that later.

 You have already seen my Fall Fairy---she was hanging 

in a chandelier at a thrift store...

she is quite at home here.

Now here is my OLD ChiPPy-SHaBBy buy from last June. 

I didn't buy it at the Elkhorn Flea, but 

emailed Jeanine and paid her for it afterwards.

Saturday, I schlepped up to Wisconsin to pick it up. 

She had a lovely show in her garage, in the midst of cold temps, rain, and a fierce winds. 

The buying locusts had already descended...but you can see some of her show(s) Here.

 This will be going in my master bedroom redo...sometime this winter. I'm excited---it works, but I will be softening the green and yellow somehow...a REDO but can't wait.

 I bought this OLD cheese grater for my husband. The blades looked like it had been barely used.

The wood block fits tight...so I think it just sat on someone's shelf for a long time.

We will sand it down and use it. I will do some more

research on it.

 I think the green metal is so interesting...apparently a bit of 

manufacturing advertising also with the "V". 

The grater blades are actually two---one for each direction, 

this is for hard cheese or super fine shredding of vegetables.

 Here is the NEW second fairy---a bit of felted delight purchased at the craft show...adorable. 

I have ordered a matching gnome.

 I'm crafty but realize some things I will just not get around to making, and I purchase those.

My husband went to an Antique Mall without me...?????

and purchased these OLD small dollhouse furnishings for the 

1950's Marx Metal Dollhouse we have downstairs for Grandbaby to play with. 

The drawers all work on the little bed, mark on bottom says 1994, my gosh that's vintage now.

The stove is wood and I don't know if it will fit in as I do have some Remark furniture, otherwise it will end up in my Etsy shop.

 I found this gorgeous white throw----Twin size...rayon and cotton. It's perfect with minimal wear...and so textured and lovely. I'm tempted to make a coat of it as a REDO, but we will see.

Hubby bought the doll chairs set in a bag with the checkered chair and pink set below.

 It's really cute...a little garish...but then that dollhouse needs some color anyway.
One set will go on the patio.

Hubby again  found this table and chair set BARBIE sized... for the Barbie House (Xmas).

 It was 17.99 but I have seen the same for $45.00 on line +postage. 

This will be the largest purchase for the Barbie house

 as I have been collecting from thriftstores and garage sales since March.
PS...hubby is cutting the dollhouse out today, I have to get out there and photograph it.

And since we are talking about Christmas....

Smiley Snowman here, may become a smiley ghost for Halloween. 

Found him at the craft show. He is a REDO kettle lid...painted so sweet.

 And oh my gosh, ALL the holdiays are just around the corner.
