More work on getting ready for Vintage Treasures Market

This is Frannie among the items we are setting up in our retro section on the front porch. She was digging through a box for fabric and guess what she found! So.... she just had to put it on.

After working for several hours painting, arranging and hauling from one location to another

This is where we really wish we were all sitting.

Luckly this is in my front garden and we can at least look at it from time to time

Working on Vintage Treasures Market

Have to show what my front flower garden is doing right now. Hope it has as many blooms next week for our market.

Wine Bottle Fountain

Sister #2 Frannie had a birthday and this was made as a gift for her. The nail keg is one that I did for a college project back in 1969!!! It was made into a stool with storage back then--we have gotten a little more creative since then. Well, we drink wine now too. Keg holds plastic container for water and pump -- black metal tray with bottles, the bottles standing are glued to tray the one laying down has a hole for tube to feed water up. The container at the bottom is filled with small rocks first and then topped off with wine corks. There is another tube running back into the keg so the water recycles
