The Garden Show!

Rieger begonia hanging baskets and the new Mad Hare cement rabbits! Let the show begin...

The new Mad Hare rabbits on the right and the sweet cement bunnies on the left.
Ever garden needs one... or both????

Sara is our sign painter but I actually did the Star garden seeds clock. I was glad to
finally find something to do with that big round of plywood.

Sara's signs above the oak hutch and to the left. She has quite a following
and a special order list to do too!

Spicy Apple, Anjou Pear and Apricot Rose candles. Oh the smells!

Bunny vases, metal post boxes and a card holder made out of a pastry cutter.

The Mad Hare is my favorite garden piece this year! Yes I kept one!

Look at that rusty garden cart that the McGregor sign is on. It is long
and beautiful and may need to live on your porch....

Sara signs - these are only $60 each. Don't they look old!

A  garden bell to call everyone to dinner.

An old enamel sink on a sewing machine base. There are two black porcelain door handles where the
faucets would have been. Ready for your porch..
So get down to Monticello Antique Marketplace for their Garden Show! You will be amazed at the
creative displays and wonderful merchandise for sale. 

Spring is knocking...

With the arrival of Spring comes softer colors. This display with the hand made blue and white quilt is a breath of fresh air! Welcome Spring at Monticello with our new display! Even cows and roosters come in Spring colors!

The blue barn door is a great backdrop for any room. I painted and dark waxed one side in the blue but the other side is the original color white/soft grey. Use it on both sides for two totally different looks. 

Sara has painted another sign on old wood and you have an instant "antique". She does a great job with the graphics and colors. She has a new puppy, Juneau, that is taking time away from her painting! I will keep her focused.... we love Juneau too though. Smart and my first grand dog. 

A vintage French wire birdcage made in Tunisia. Beautiful! 

Little wire and glass picture frames with vintage postcards in them. A nice thank you or birthday gift for anyone. The white enamel soap dishes are so practical you may need a few.

German grain canisters in blue and white. Two have lids and two do not. Priced well.

German Roe deer mounts. Love these! So come help welcome Spring - we are so glad it is here! See you at Monticello!

New Signs

Things sell. Yup they sell! When they do you have to take in new stuff. This is a new "old" sign that Sara painted. It is large and in charge. Looks old but the only one old one  here is me. This is a large sign - love the colors! $295.00 

Another sign painted by Sara! Light blue and smaller. $185.00

A chapel shaped mirror. Love the shape!  What is that a professional photographer in the mirror?  Was in a hurry to go order the black drawer pulls for my new white kitchen. I am not a professional! Love....

Indians and teepees

Told you - Indians and teepees! The folk art Indian is all hand made - from a wooden feather headdress to bottlecap eyes. One of a kind! The teepee I made (and had to convince my cat it was NOT for her).  It has beads and some of my turkey feathers tied on as charms. So a handmade and folk art theme this month.

The Indian woman oil painting on the right wall has no signature but is a wonderful painting with the right colors and lighting.

All ready for story time with a plaid blanket and a handmade cross stitch pillow! The teepee folds up for easy moving or storage too.

A beautiful white birch giclee painting. Peaceful... The lamp is made by hand out of river rocks. 

Bottle cap eyes and war paint - oh my!

The old quilt and a crock full of arrows. So get down to Monticello Antique Marketplace for an hour of shopping for your home. They are open 7 days a week. 

A New "old" Sign

Sara has been painting again - this time on an old cupboard door. "Chicks for Sale" how cute is that! This one really looks old but we make sure the tag says "New" on it. A nice one Sara!

You have to love the chippy paint. Looks like it sat in the weather for years. Come down to Monticello Antique Marketplace in Portland to see it and all the other amazing displays! 

Hello 2016!

A fresh new display to start the New Year. The quilt is a real Amish made black sateen piece with a great graphic to it. Sara took the wooden cubbie that I had bought because it needed a complete re-do and she made it amazing. She replaced the bottom of all 48 drawers and put new knobs on them. She stained it and painted the "Edgar & Sons sign on top in gold paint. It is an amazing piece now and for sale for $295.00 (I told her she could not get $2,295.00 to cover the cost of her time and supplies). 

Each drawer still has it's brass holder so you can label your supplies.

Kokodama - literally translates to "Moss ball" in Japanese. You can plant them with orchids and lady slippers as we did or choose any plant you wish.  We stuffed them with wet spaghnum moss to make those orchids happy. They have hangers but look good sitting on a pretty saucer too. Green and growing! Love them.

Another sign by Sara - Bakery. Lots of wire racks and plate holders to get your kitchen organized.

So get down to Monticello Antique Marketplace on Stark in Portland and see all the new displays including ours. Maybe I will see you there.... Mary

New furniture today

As furniture sells in our booth we must replace it. Sometimes it is hard to find the right size piece to fit the spot. Sara just finished building this vintage suitcase table.She used some old table legs we have had for awhile. She put a nice clean sheet of plywood inside so you can store anything you want - even linens! It turned out very nice Sara. While I was setting up the display several customers asked questions about it. Soooo- I have begun looking for another piece that size in our warehouse as I do not think this one will last long! Good job Sara!

A Hunter's Dream is a 1904 Lithograph that just glows.

A Christmas house on the granite top fern stand. The pinecone votives are lovely when lite. So the Christmas show goes on - come see what is new at Monticello Antique Marketplace in Portland.
