Last weekend I went to an estate sale held by a lady that has a booth at one of the flea markets I’m associated with. She was having a sale on her mother’s estate, and had these fabulous wicker chairs and rockers. I bought all four for a great price! They are in mint condition….but they are grayish in color. I am going to spray paint them either white or possibly black so they will blend in better on the front porch. Then I plan to look for fabric and have the cushions recovered. We have a long narrow front porch, and they fit perfectly!

 

We did have wood rockers on the front porch, and sold them over a year ago, and I’ve been on the lookout for porch furniture since then.  Hopefully this new purchase will inspire me to fix up the porch so we can enjoy our beautiful lake view!

2nd Time Around: Pink Nellie-new Vintage Shop in Town!

I am always looking for new places to shop for vintage and antique items, and we have a great new place in Meridian called Pink Nellie! Actually, I met Linda (her real name) at the 45 Flea Market and Antiques over a year ago where she had a booth when she first moved to Meridian. She has been doing this all her life and inherited her love of old things from her mother, Nellie. Linda loves pink so the logical name for her new shop was “Pink Nellie!”

Recently a house became available on 23rd avenue in Meridian right behind Ed Chaney Tires and one block off 22nd Avenue…and you guessed it the house was pink! Linda had been considering her own shop for a while and this seemed to be the perfect time and place.

So, with the help of her husband they moved her massive inventory to the new shop- Pink Nellie!

I visited there recently with my friend Karen and took some pictures to show you how adorable her shop is!

The pink house…complete with a wrap around porch…..

A temporary sign………….

The new sign soon to be hung and painted by Darcy…..(that’s Linda in the blue shirt.)

An interior wall……….

 

An adorable chair covered with chenille fabric and a beautiful quilt….

Just a tiny bit of her large collection of vintage jewelry…..

Vintage baby clothes……

Upcycled items like this painted mirror…..

My friend Karen modeling a vintage hat……

And so much more! If you live anywhere near Meridian, hope you will go by and check out Pink Nellie! She is located at 302 23rd Avenue in Meridian, Ms. and open Thurs., Fri., and Sat. from 10-6!

I love plant stands, and have always wanted an old oak one! I finally found one at one of the antique malls that I shop at. Problem is I did not have a decent plant to place on it for the photo-so I used this pineapple from the thrift store! Maybe I’ll get one soon!
