a found treasure

For years I've admired Rachel Ashwell and her Shabby Chic style, so along with that came an infatuation for this chunky wood rosary that I found on her website.

I love it, but I don't love the price tag...$188 is a bit out of my range no matter how much I love it.

But lo and behold, last week when I was busy stocking my little booth at the Seneca Cannery, I came across this...

It was marked $20, not to mention the booth where I found it was having a 40% off sale, so I snatched it up for a whopping $12.  I was so tickled! Granted, it's not identical to the Shabby Chic one, but I love it just the same.  I haven't found the perfect spot for it yet, but I'm thinking it will end up in the living room or our bedroom at some point.  Right now, it's resting comfortably on the farmhouse cabinet in the kitchen.

I even love the little heart detail on this version.

Junque Jubilee!

For anyone that didn't get a chance to make it to our June event, I wanted to make sure you got to at least see some pics of our Junque Jubilee!  I must say, it was a fabulous weekend!  Thank you to all of our customers for all of your support!!

I'll let the pictures do most of the talking.

This 19th century European bench was to die for!  I'm happy to say that it sold, but was sad to see it go.

We had some really great pieces in the shoppe this month.  Look at the fabulous dress form and old mail bag.  Love!

Perfectly chippy garden balls and succulents mixed with tarnished silver.  One of my favorite combinations.

The french grey sideboard was an old dresser with two non-working drawers, so I knocked them out and created an area for basket storage.  Perfect for an entryway or as a resting place for those lovely 50" TV's that our husbands love ;)  This one went to a new home on Sunday.

Seashells and silver.  Another great combo.

And what's a Junque Jubilee without a square dancing crinoline?!

We're already planning and prepping for next month's event. It's going to be a good one.  Hope to see you all July 6-8!
