wonderful Stores in Astoria

 These are pics of a cute little store in Astoria,

Farmhouse Funk.    The owner, Denise, was delightful.

In addition to the store she has an event with extra vendors.

 She had alot of different areas in the store,

but I loved the red....

 

cute, cute, cute, kitchen area.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 This is a booth at another antique mall.

Loved this cute idea of the books over the entrance.

 This gal, Ambiance Vintage, had lots of great ideas,

and such cute displays. I could have taken pictures of every inch of it,

but I'm never sure how others feel about their spaces being shared.

so I am just sharing this couple of photos,

but if you are ever n Astoria,

you do not want to miss this store.

And this is what we saw in the window of a store

 that was not open till the next day..=(  (Yankee Trader)

So cute, and I could not get inside.

Can you believe all the stuff they have in just that one small area?

And don't miss that there is a car in the middle of it. 

so cute.

Thanks for coming by.

have a super day.

Pink Piggy Saturday

 In no particular order......

My pink pigs.

 This was taken outside a restaurant on the coast a couple of weeks ago.

 cuuuute!! Look at those eyelashes!!

and the rust!!!

Figured out after we took pics it was actually a Bar-B-Q.

 and saw this at a garage sale where they were

selling the decor from their wedding.

See the little crown???

 

And here is a bit of bright pink.

No, not a pig, just my first blooms on my hydrangea plant.

Joining Beverly and all the other pink lovers for

 

Blessings everyone, 

and have a wonderful, and safe weekend.

I love old crusty, rusty anything....

 This scale is about as rusty as it gets....

and still have any white left on it.

Only one I have ever seen like it.

 close up of numbers..

can you see them??

 this scale is smaller than usual.

 kitchen scale...

 another perfectly rusty old scale..

white are my faves....

 This scale is black, but love the rusty white face on it.

 and the lettering on the side. (white) =)

Very unique.

 Most scales, no matter what color,

have a white face on them.

 LOVE this big old scale....

 Postage scale.....

PS Did I ever tell you I have a FB page?

Fun Fan Frenzy

 I just found 2 more fans to add to the two

 I already have at the store.

You are going to love these!!!

This one does not have a metal base

like they usually do....

 but instead just sits up with this wire piece.

 and look at the motor!!!

That perfect rusty green!!!

I might even display it backwards!!! =)

 and I love this fan....

the cool swirly wire around the blades....

and look at the  great name part on it.....

Will show my other fans another day....

Tiny Little Kitchen Treasures

 Look what I bought today.

It is the tiniest little kitchen set I have ever seen.

I'll say sorry now, cause I will just keep saying "tiny" over and over. =)

This is all soooo cute!!

not sure what the little pot is....maybe a water pitcher??

 the tiny, tiny, tiniest sifter/strainer ever.....

and cookie cutters....

 That tiny beater really beats......

and see the tiny scoop??

 and tiny cookie cutters......

aren't they cute???

 And look at these tiny, tiny graters.....

aren't they cute?

And they really grate....

(just being cute. did not try them) =)

 Not sure what these are supposed to be.

Reminds me of a flower basket.

What do you think??

and this tiny grinder....and the handle really turns,

 and the tiny little part inside even really goes around.

So, I'm so lovin' this whole thing...

Thanks for ocming by.
