Thanks for all comments and emails about my last post. Sounds like "what do I do next?" run through a lot of our minds. I'm feeling better healthwise, planned a getaway trip to NYC, and finished up selling at my favorite antique show.
I wore a "new" old nail apron I'd embellished. I love the contrast of the utilitarian lumber yard apron with lace and daisies. I added celluloid pin, a dog license on a bow and, on the right- an 1901 fraternal ribbon. Unfortunatly, the silk of the ribbon was too fragile to hold up to even one antique show- so all that's left is the outline.
Some of my favorite things from the show- hearts made by Ginger Schrader.
Botanical book.
Cork ball- I'm not sure what it is, but I like it.
Old paper.
Haberdashery display.
Sewing basket- with spools- (I BOUGHT this one.)
Pretty spring look vignette.
And of course, high top button baby shoes-in my opinion, a staple at any good antique show.
gorgeous, love your pinny! I so would have cleaned up with my trolley if I had been there! Rachael xo

Hmmm. Just commented, no verification came up so go figure. Will try again -- Love the apron and need to start pulling out old paper to make hearts! Better shows than in Michigan,, at least design-wise!
