Hi, everyone!
Last time I showed you this apple picking bag filled with cotton, which was my favorite Country Living Fair find.
(To see more of my back stoop go here.)
Today I'm going to show you a few more things that I got in Columbus. Like I mentioned before, I tried to be more careful regarding what I bought this year so I didn't get a ton of things. But what I got, I love!
Like these 2 shutters. Perfect size and chippiness!
Right now I have them leaning against the wall on top of a little barn wood shelving unit. Eventually I might hang them separately. It's good to have options! :)
This architectural piece was a winner!
I added a few tiny faux pumpkins and a glass cloche to make it complete!
I already had this wheat arrangement so I placed it beside the base and cloche for a little fall vignette.
I haven't quite decided what to do with this long weathered wooden box yet, but I had to have it!
I think it would look great filled with pumpkins and gourds...or dried hydrangeas...or pinecones and greens at Christmas...the possibilities are endless! For now it's on my dining room table, but who knows where it will end up?
This sweet wire basket wasn't from Country Living, but another shop from my Columbus trip.
It's the perfect size to hold my 3 fabric pumpkins that I bought last year in Columbus...
...on this sweet white bench that I recently got...
And here's another wire basket (from Country Living) that I couldn't pass up! It's a fun size, kind of tall and narrow.
My friend Suzanne knows that I adore hydrangeas so she gifted me with these from her yard!
Aren't they gorgeous?
I placed them in this basket as an easy way to dry them, then just left them. I'll probably use some burlap as a 'liner' to hide the stems, or use the basket for magazines. But for now I placed the arrangement on top of a bench with another pumpkin that I got in Columbus last year, and created another simple fall vignette.
So that's about it for my new Columbus finds! Notice a theme here? (Hint: mostly chippy and white!) But what can I say? They make me happy :)
Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a fantastic week!

ReplyDeleteyou found some really great finds.....I'm a big fan of chippy and white!!
ReplyDeleteYou find the greatest things Susan...love all of your wonderful chippy finds!!!
ReplyDeleteLove all the treasures you came up with. :)
ReplyDeletei like your old treasures. :) thanks for stopping by today!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the apple-picking bag. I sold mine several years ago in a giant purge and have regretted it. Love the white tones and all the textures.
ReplyDeleteI love the pumpkins in the cloche. I love just about anything in a cloche. Such a great way to display. I also love your wire baskets. I've had so many and then I sell and then I get mad at myself. Did you make the fabric pumpkins? Love them. You have displayed so many of my favorites including the enamel pitcher. I used to collect enamel and had everything you can imagine. I wish I had kept a piece or two, especially my pitchers. Beautiful post!
ReplyDeleteChippy and white makes me happy too Susan! All of your must haves are fantastic! And what a sweet gift of hydrangeas. They're beautiful. Have fun playing :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Susan, I love your finds and the fabric pumpkins are really nice and perfect for fall. I really love the way dried hydrangeas look! Wishing you a nice week.
ReplyDeleteJulie

ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I want it all lol.
ReplyDeleteYou found some great items! My dream come true is to have a Country Living Fair close to me. UTAH. ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteOh Susan,
ReplyDeleteI am in love with every photo, I want the wire baskets, the white bench stool, the side table with the old chippy shutters and the whole arrangement everything in this post could move right into my home comfortable and I would welcome each piece. I have some wire baskets, and sweet benches and a wall unit much to your feel here, yet yours being different really draws me in for a closer look at your added finds.
See you soon beautiful, all is well with your Mother I hope and pray for her continued clean bill of health.
See u and all you inspire soon.
Xx

Oh you bought all the best of rusty and shabby.....You're one of the cool ones....I buy old hats and buttons, I wish I had an eye for old wire baskets and boxes. Your groupings are perfect and the pictures are gorgeous!!! We can't grow hydrangeas here in Orlando, I guess it is to humid...I love them!
