The show goes on...

The show goes on..but it goes on without Sara's Greenvale Farmers Market sign and my two white chairs as both sold. So how about a wonderful metal clock face. The pumpkins continue to be big sellers and I pick up more tomorrow. Come see us in Monticello Antique Marketplace at 8600 SE Stark Ave in Portland! 

Fall colors at Ferndale Farms

Fall at Ferndale Farms is happening at our booth in Monticello Antique Marketplace on Stark in Portland. The sign was painted by my daughter Sara on an old barn door. It looks old! Amazing job Sara! The old tin sets it off. The pumpkins are all real!

The wooden bench is the perfect entry piece to make a real statement in your home.Almost 10' long!

An old chimney cupboard full of fall color. The cupboards were narrow and sat in front of a chimney to use some of that heat to keep linens dry. 

Greenvale County Farmers Market

The Fall Show at Monticello opens on Friday, September 4 at 8:00 am. Here is our back display - The Greenvale County Farmers Market. Everyone loves the old sign - but it is not very old really. My daughter Sara painted it on an old barn door. Isn't it charming! The words are double sided and slide in and out to advertise what is fresh today. Thank you Sara for making this display happen. She also made the white shelf out of an old door. I love that she left the glass doorknob in place. I found the white chippy kitchen shelf, redid the wicker table and upholstered the two white chairs. So this really is a family affair.



All the white pumkins are real and grown by a wonderful family in Hubbard. I love how this job connects me to all these people. Thank you Dylan and Darren - they are amazing pumkins.



My favorite thing in the show (besides that sign) is this vintage copper egg poacher! A rainy morning with poached eggs and a fresh orange juice - sigh!

Moles and Sales!

Okay so I don't want alot of flack about a dead mole. He did not feel a thing! Really!! Still had a smile on his face after eating all my worms! I like animals - we have two dogs, a cat, an African Grey parrot, two Royal Palm turkeys and a dozen chickens! They are all well cared for and healthy. Moles are vile and secretive. They don't even like the sun! I am tired of going up to the garden and twisting an ankle in a mole tunnel. One down - more to come!  Took in a new kitchen Island to Monti today. The retro green spatter table sold - to Newmans Fish Market here in Portland. We shopped at their Eugene store for years. So the table ( I did crafts on it for years) went to a happy home. Enjoy the last days of summer.... ready for fall myself!

Fruit labels



I bought a large collection of vintage fruit box labels from 1930 - 1940.
Bright, bold graphics and colors.

From sunflowers to Queen Victoria. What a fun collection!

Some labels are framed but there are 50 more unframed! From $14 to $2!

An orange parking meter anyone?

The spool chest on legs will probaly sell fast.

Aprons made out of recyled jeans. Fun but so functional with all those pockets!
So take a break from your summer canning and go to Monticello Antique Marketplace on Stark
in Portland. There may be a label you have to have.

A great show!

I always say "I don't do shows" as I feel everyday is a "show" down at Monticello Antique Marketplace on Stark in Portland. But I love the gal that put this show on with a friend. So a few months ago I said I would do it. The show was in Coburg, Oregon at their farm. A stunning property. My daughter , Sara, helped me so that made it fun. We sold a ton of stuff and got lots of hugs from old customers. It did not rain on us. The perfect day! So I will warn you next July and you better get to this sale...

The tractors run and every child there had fun climbing up on them.

Our booth with the big clock face!

I made some aprons out of jeans. They were popular.

Sweet Cheeks winery was there with lots of places to sit and relax.
