Winter,winter go away!!

Bring me this beautiful patio! Today!!!

Beautiful things!! Beautiful People

If you know me, you know nothing makes me happier than to discover an old piece of ironstone, cream ware, or brown transfer ware while I am out junkin around. Chippy, stained, cracked, discolored or dirty, its all beautiful to me. The best part to me is the awesome markings on the back side. I have not idea what any of the markings mean but I love the markings. If I thought it would not look funny, I would hang or display some of my pieces hanging with the backside showing.

You gotta love this!

Cracked and chipped , but love the marking on bottom.

Love my platters and tureens!!

Brown transfer ware...

thanks to this blogger, this picture made me smile. Speaking of smiling and beautiful thing, I have a couple of beautiful friends.

My best of the best girlfriends came to visit me during the October flea market. Neither one had ever been to the show, so they were so sweet to come and support me and wares. As usual they are the perfect out of town guest and they know what I love. They brought me  a beautiful brown transfer ware platter ( it has two things going for it, it's an ironstone platter and it was brown tranfer . But that was not all, I also received 4 adorable brown transfer ware saucers, all the way from England. But wait that was not the end, a vintage silver plate tea pot tied everything together. Have I mentioned that " I loved this bag of goodies" I'll say it again beautiful things from beautiful people.

Thanks Sue and Carol, I love ya to death!! (do we part) Ha!

Displaying my goodies...

 

 

Look at the border on this platter.

The platter, saucers and teapot look so good together.

 

Where have I been? Busy,Busy,

What a great time of the year!

NASHVILLE FLEA MARKET!

 

Loaded up and ready to go.

I don't know which season I love the best, fall or spring .It's  gotta be the fall. What a beautiful weekend we had here in Nashville this weekend at the flea market. Lots of people and lots of great customers. October is the big extravaganza, so were are already working hard to fill our booth. We   are going to be so busy getting everything ready. I am so excited about the fact that I have two of my girlfriends from Atlanta coming over to visit the flea in October. Hope I don't disappoint! I'll try my best. September show was great, so enjoy the pics.

 

 

 

See you in October!!

   

Back to primitives!! Great for the fall!

Just an update!

Just an update on what I've been up to. Selling at the flea market is just one part of Simply Painted.
Custom paint jobs are always welcomed. This week a sweet couple whom I've painted things for before purchased an old painted buffet on legs. They purchased it because they wanted a unique wine rack for their newly remodeled historical home. So they cut the legs off to make buffet lower to ground and had me take doors off. After I paint it and delivered it back to them ,
they are going to add a wine rack divider where the doors were. Great idea!!Thanks, Katie and Hollis
Enjoy pics!

Before, It was a neat paint job, but not what Katie and Hollis needed.

Layers of paint!!

Ready to go!

Neat details...

Just about ready!!

Finished and delivered!

Hope they send pics when they get wine dividers in..
