More "Hearts"


Hello Everyone, Yesterday a friend brought me this beautiful little heart basket filled with succulents . I used some twine to tie it onto my old shabby chic back porch chair. I love how cute it looks! Of course, you can't sit on the chair now, but usually I have some decoration in the seat anyway.

Here are some of the stuffed felt hearts I made for my antique booth to spruce it up a little. I will try to take some photos this week of the shop and what is happening there. It is well stocked for the winter as that is the busy season in Florida. Some of the items that I have sold recently are garden related things, granite ware, ceramic birds, old doll parts, clocks and a very nice steamer trunk. Old keys sell well. I think instead of collecting antiques, younger folks are re-purposing them and painting them! I will show you some of the neat things the owner of the shop has done with bits and pieces of this and that. 
So keep watching and soon I will give you a tour of The Rustic Star Antiques. You can check it out on Facebook, too.
