jus' got back from a fun two-day stay in the Georgetown (mostly) and Lexington area. Honey-hunk had an eye doc appointment in Lexington .. and Twigsy had told me to check out the Peddlar's Mall in Georgetown. i got a mos' wunnerful antique doll hutch .. about 4 or 5 dolly chairs .. some vintage sewies .. books (ALWAYS books!) .. and some other treasures that i can't even remember right now! will take some pics and post them soon!
what fun! we headed straight for Georgetown, i shopped PM .. then we had a yummy dinner at Ruby Tuesday's and spent the night in a nearby hotel (within walking distance of Peddlar's Mall .. cuz' i wanted to go back the next morning!) honey hunk went to work out at the hotel gym .. and i crashed and burned!!! got up early this morning .. took a wonderful long walk .. sat on a bench and read one of the FANTASTIC books i got .. ALL creative women should own this book .. i'll write more about it later .. then i shopped peddlar's mall some more (that's when i found the doll step-back cupboard!) it was only $75. but i asked if they could take any less .. they called and left a message .. we went to lunch at at 'cracker barrel' .. i called .. and OH YAY!!!!!!!! .. they only wanted $55. for it .. (i was going to pay the $75. if they didn't want to come down .. heck! i woulda' paid $150. for it!!!! LOVE IT!!!!
NOW .. THAT WAS A 'COUP DE TA'!!!
then we went to the 'antique district in georgetown .. and i found some more dolly chairs (for all the rag chillun arriving at the foundling home!)
then honey h's eye appointment .. now home .. and .. i gotta' go downstairs and UNPACK and REPACK!!!
gonna' hit town tomorrow to do some Art in the Alley errands and Kentucky Quilt Trail errands (oh yay! we've started ours in our county .. and i'm on the 'board' .. ha! and will proably also be a volunteer painter!)
THEN .. OH HAPPY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!! THURSDAY MORNING .. I HEAD FOR TOLEDO AND THOSE GRANDES!

e-mail to get on my Kentucky Ramblings TRUE FRIENDS list to see these wunnerful photos!
MY 'COUP' AT PEDDLAR'S MALL
IT IS WONDERFULLY 'CHILD-SIZE'
AND .. IT IS MADE FROM OLDE "PICKLE" BOXES
FROM A COMPANY IN LOUISVILLE!!!
(WRITING IS ON THE BOTTOM)
A FEW 'DOLLY CHAIRS'
THIS ONE GOES GREAT WITH THE DOLL HOUSE I GOT AT CINNAMON CREEK!
I'M GOING TO PUT ONE OF THOSE 'QUILTIE' COVERS
ON THIS ONE!
I DREAMED ABOUT THIS ONE (I HAD LEFT IT AT THE MALL .. AND IS THE REASON I WANTED TO GO BACK AND GET IT.) THE 'OLDE-TIMEY' PHOTO IS MY OWN PRECIOUS DAUGHTERS .. KRISTEN AND WEDNESDAY .. WHEN WE LIVED IN COLORADO!
THE 'GREY' IS ACTUALLY PAPER
WRAPPED AROUND WOOD!
I ALREADY HAD THIS .. BUT IT IS ON THE FIREPLACE MANTLE
NEXT TO WHERE I PUT THE LITTLE GREY CHAIR
CUU-UUU-TE!
HAD THE CHAIR .. GOT THE HOOKED CHAIR PAD!
A CUTE LITTLE WHITE TWIGGY CHAIR
.. GOING TO MAKE ONE OF THOSE 'PADDED CHAIR COVERS'
(LIKE THE BLUE CALICOE STOOL CHAIR)
WITH VINTAGE TATTERED FLAG
GOT THE RAG RUG ON THE BOTTOM AT CINNAMON CREEK
THE BRAIDED ON ON TOP .. AT PEDDLAR'S MALL!

p.s. a few treasures that i got at the Cinnamon Creek Show ...
got this from dolly club friend debby
.. i need another dollhouse like i need
another hole in my head!
loved this very cool olde peely green paint bench .. ha!
it mataches these 'tattered floors'! will put the bench on
the porch of the 'schoolhouse' after we get a tin roof over
the porch.
added the two little suitcases on the left
on top of the trunk .. one is full of dolly clothes!
THREADBEAR sez good mornin'!
dolly clothes in that little trunk!
up close
and more ...
oh .. i so wonder about the little girls that played with
these and the momma's who made these little dresses
for their daughter's dollies!
the adorable little dolly chair made from
an olde wooden stool!
i will make a different chair cushion.
might try to find time to put these on photobucket and transfer them here .. but not for a coupla' weeks.
