Mother's Day Garden Fair Tommorrow!

The Plant and Garden Fair at the Camas High School starts at 0900 tomorrow morning! With or without the sun, the show must go on! They are calling for scattered showers, so lets hope they scatter elsewhere! I have been going to this show for alot of years, and alittle rain does not keep this crowds away. Remember, this year is in a different location, and Camas High School is NOT in Camas. Be sure and map quest the address, take your GPS, or follow the signs from Lacamas Lake. The address is 26900 SE 15th street, Camas, WA.

This baby is loaded, and ready to roll! It's filled to the brim with vintage wrought iron, concrete goodies, birdcages, benches, and lots of everything else.



The hubs even slapped together a table for me. I found the awesome chippy table base, at a sale last month. It was in a pile of junk, turned upside down, and I could see that it was destined for something much greater. Of course when I drug it home, the hubby just shook his head. After he added some boards to it, I painted it up, and then he then saw it's great potential. I know I am just loving it!























Hope to see you tomorrow, and please bring alittle sunshine our way! And Happy Mother's Day to all you mom's!

P.S. Don't forget that our first Vintage Gathering Flea Market is less than a month away too. Mark your calenders for May 28th.

Getting ready for the Camas plant and garden show

Attention all you plant, and all things for the garden lovers! The 14th annual Mother's Day plant and garden fair is coming up on Saturday, May 7th at the Camas High School. There will be over 80 vendors, and they have moved it to this different location, so there is more room for everyone. The address is 26900 SE 15th St. Camas, WA. My mom, and I go to this every year, but this year, I am a vendor! I am very excited, because I have a ton of stuff that would look great in your yard or garden. I have been making a few signs.
I have been finding alot of neat garden stuff. This picket fence shelf will have to be painted!
I love vintage flower vases, and pots!
I have a pretty good collection of concrete everything, including these vintage Greek urns.
My neighbors think I am collecting birdbaths. I'm sure they think I'm crazy! Crazy for concrete maybe!
And if you are looking for vintage wrought iron furniture, I have ALOT!!! I really do have at least one of everything! Patio table and chairs. loveseat, sidetables, plantstands, ect. I just recovered these two chairs, and they go with a glass topped wrought iron table.
And it wouldn't be a garden fair, without a few plants! I'm glad the sun finally decided to come out yesterday!

I decided this old wagon needed to be painted with a patriotic theme. It would be really cute sitting on some body's porch with a pot of plants in it!
It seems I have collected alot of benches too! A rusty old milk stool anyone?
The picket fence looks sooo much better painted white. The plant show starts at 9:00 am, and goes until 4:pm. We will be waiting for you!

Mad Hatter Tea Party and Sale!

You are invited over for tea tomorrow, March 11th, at Uncovered Ruby's. Everyone has been very busy getting ready, and let me say that our shop is bursting at the seams with Springy goodness!
The shop will be closed from 3-4, and then at 4:00, Queen Ruby, Alice, and the Mad Hatter will all be awaiting your arrival. I wouldn't be too late, but the party will go on until 8:00.

There will be sales, door prizes, a make and take craft project, and yummy treats. Please see Uncovered Ruby's blog, for more details.


I have brought alot of new things in, and I know all the other vendors have too.



I brought this vintage desk in just last week. I gave it a Pottery Barn look, which I just love!
I personally will have all my furniture on sale for 10% off.










I will be taking in this piece of furniture today, and as you can see, this is nice and crackly. All I had to do was put a glaze over the paint to seal the finish.







See you at the party!

I love my space at Uncovered Ruby's!

I have been at Uncovered Ruby's almost 3 years now. I moved to the back of the shop to a bigger space 3 months ago. All I have to say is...........What took me so long?!! It certainly wasn't the lack of stuff , cuz everyone knows, I could probably fill up the entire store! I simply cheaped out, and was afraid to commit. Just let me say, that the last 3 months have been fabulous!! I would like to say a big thank you to all my awesome customers! I really love what I do, and decorating my space, feels like it has become an extension of my home.
My mantel sold last week, and I am both happy, and sad. It was a great focal point, and so much fun to decorate. I know someone else will love it as much as I did. I will have to put a mantel back on my shopping list!

I just took this industrial stainless steel table to the shop.


Took in a few new lamps too! I have noticed that the more lights that I have, the better my space looks. Why have I just discovered that?!



I have this awesome primitive farm table tucked in the back. I would think it should be going to a new home soon. I also just brought in the industrial green cart in the corner. I used it for a bar at Christmas time, and it was a hit!




Cute cubby bookcase filled with vintage goodies!





I love this pink chest/dresser. Calling all pink lovers! If you saw it at the Monticello Christmas show, I have reduced the price for you. I think the concrete cherub would make a nice Valentine's gift for that special someone. Who doesn't love concrete!?? I truly would rather have concrete, than chocolate! Concrete is forever!






I will be heading to the shop today with some more goodies, and I always love to check out what all the other vendors are up to. Every week I go, there is something new going on. If you have not been in to see us in a while, you will be pleasantly surprised! Have a great week-end!

Christmas at Monticello starts now!

Wow! This week has just flown for me! Sleep, get up, work on my Christmas space at Monticello's, go home, and then get up, and do it again! With a final sprinkle of some faux snow, (hey, that rhymes!) I am finished! The show starts tomorrow at 8am. Grab your eggnog lattes, and head on in for some serious Christmas inspiration. Here are a few pictures of what I've been working on all week.
Not only do I love angels at Christmas time, I also love vintage Santa's! They just have a special look.








Don't forget to look up!, because I have filled up my space as high as I can go!
P.S.
Don't forget that Uncovered Ruby is having a girl's night out from 4-8pm tomorrow too.
I'm ready for you there as well. I have spread my Christmas cheer every where! Happy Holiday's!
