annie, fannie , and abigail in white...

I discovered this booth a few years back

at my most favorite place to shop

evah.

Monticello Antique Mall

in Portland, Oregon.

It is run by twin sisters

Donna and Diana,

their business

name

is

Annie, Fannie, and Abigail.

Is that not the most adorable name?

I stand in absolute awe of their wonderful spaces.

They definitely  have the art of presentation

and 

 the coolest stuff.

How do they part with it?

My daughter says...

hmmm....

that may just be our problem here.

I'm not sure if the  inspiration is for my home

or for my business.

Maybe both?

Not too much white here

justa dolly head

whatcha think about those?

Me, not so sure.

I'm always sad to leave .

(Just ask my family-they have to drag me out)

I feel such a kinship

It could be all of those bloggy-friends that sell there.

like Debbie

(my shabby roses)

and Julie

(Kindred Roses)

and Kathy

(Colby Cottage Happenings)

and don't forget Lisa (A thing for roses) and Isabell (Maison Douce).

then there is Bella Shabby, Calamity Jane, 

and so many more.

there is a lot of talent under that roof.

I didn't buy much

just came home

itchin'

to re-decorate.

and uncover all of that junk I've been stashing.

Happy White Wednesday to y'all.

the art of...

Junque'

This was the final leg of our trip back in March.

I had forgotten that I had never shown these pics.

It was a great place to poke around

to find all sorts of treasures.

I love how their everyday product

becomes displays of art.

(and organized, too!)

Got tubs?

Even my husband enjoyed shopping here.

This is what I brought home.

It was intended for the opening in my parlor

but somehow it ended up here

in the space between the kitchen and family room.

It just fit-

no cuts needed.

I don't know if it will stay there or not-

the range is below and I'm thinkin' it will get pretty grimy,

we'll see...

Thank you all so much for your sweet words.

I'm almost finished with my project...things always take longer!

But here's a sneak peek.

Have a wonderful Sunday,

Rene'
