Featuring Our Friends Friday #4

Yes, I do realize it's Monday.....not Friday. :)

I'm just a little slow getting this post out. We've been having issues uploading photos but I think I've figured out a temporary solution so let's get on with

Featuring Our Friends Friday #4!!

Woohooo!!

Here's a great big GGJ shout out to Kelly @ Iron Willow!!

Kelly is a super talented metal artist and her colorful, over the top style is just fabulous!!

She designs and creates each piece and even takes custom orders. In fact, she has comissioned several pieces for our own booth. If you've seen the heart with wings on our check out counter or Brenda's "Whimsy Love" sign in her area of the booth, then you have seen Kelly's handywork. She is AMAZING!

Her funky little vintage camper's are SO cool!

A rockin turquoise guitar, angel wings and roses......what more could a "Country Soul" want?? Love it!!

And how CUTE would this mermaid and starfish be on a pool house or patio??

More summer FUN!

More of her precious signs and who doesn't need a deer with a tiara?? Kinda reminds me of our Clyde!

Her metal Roses are AWESOME!

They're even magnetic so you can add them to one of her signs, your fridge or wherever. I have on on a lamp in  my studio!

Funky letters, stars, and Sweet Gypsy Rose......I love that sign!

She also makes super cute picture frames. You can see a few of them on the hutch in the background of this pic.

Iron Willow is located at the opposite end of Row 46 from our Girls Gone Junkin booth. You can't miss it!

Be sure to stop in and say hello to Kelly and the rest of the ladies next time you're at First Monday and tell 'em we said HI!! :)

Featuring Our Friends Friday No. 3

Goodmorning Friends!

Yes, I know it's actually Saturday....... but I took off yesterday to recover from our vacation to the beach....isn't it crazy how that happens. You go on vacation to get away, relax and rest. Then you come home exhausted! Oh well, we had a blast and it was much needed family time. While we were gone my oldest turned 17......SEVENTEEN!! This is the second year we've celebrated his birthday at the beach and I think he's getting a little spoiled to it :)

Ok, enough rambling about me.....onto Featuring Our Friends Friday No. 3!!

This week it's all about Caron's Cottage, owned by Caron Cable!

She is located at the south west end of Row 46, about three doors down from GGJ, and carries mostly vintage and antique furniture ranging from fine victorian antiques and rustic farm  pieces to shabby chippy garden inspired decor. I LOVE stopping in and checking out her space. I don't know how she finds so much cool stuff but let me tell you, she does!

Check out the scalloped top cabinet and the shabby pink screen door!

Wish I'd gotten a better shot of this table. The rustic base with scalloped skirting and the metal top are such a cool combination.

The detailing on this vanity is nothing short of amazing. And it's in mint condition.

And these longhorns in front of the turquoise door makes my Texas heart skip a beat. That black shelf is pretty sweet too!!

Carol always has a great selection of vintage garden accessories too!

Well, that's all for today. Blogger is being a booger and giving me fits when I try to upload pictures. Ugh!

Next time you're in Canton make sure you drop in at Carol's Cottage and tell her GGJ sent ya!

You can also find her wares at Antique Company Mall in McKinney, Texas.

Thanx so much for stopping by!

Featuring Our Friends Friday No.1

Hey Yall!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

I'm so excited as today is the unveiling of our new

FEATURING OUR FRIENDS FRIDAY!!

There are so many amazing vendors at Canton and even if you've been coming for years, there's no way to see every one of them in a single trip. My goal with this little feature is to highlight some of our old favs and also a few cool new vendors that we come across......which is exactly what we are doing today!

Our first feature is Amber from Gipsy Bridge. This is only her third month at Canton but her business is already rockin! Every time I went by her booth (which is quite frequently because she is just up Row 46 from us and right next to the air conditioned bathrooms...excellent location!) it was packed!! Amber and her boyfriend Jose are the cutest, sweetest and most talented couple.

She designs and makes gorgeous jewelry and pillows, he designs and creates all her funky cool display pieces and they also carry super cute clothing.

Amber was sweet enough to email me a little background info on her fabulous new business:

Hi Jenny! Here's a little info about Gipsy Bridge....

Everyone always thinks I spelled "Gipsy" wrong, but Gipsy is actually the name of the tiny little town where I grew up in Southeast Missouri. The Gipsy Bridge logo is a picture of the actual bridge where I grew up. I spent many summers jumping off that bridge into the river with my family and friends. So, I was able to bring a little piece of my country home, the Missouri Bootheel, to Texas. :)

The decorations, and most of my jewelry pieces, are made from old doors. I have always had a fascination with old doors; they are way cooler than new ones! The older and chippier, the better! (My friends like to tease me and say that you have to have a tetanus shot before coming into my apartment!) It's the story of the old door that makes it so special and interesting....what kind of house did it belong to, how many colors has it been painted, what sort of people turned its knob, and what things went on behind it when it closed......so, when my boyfriend, Jose, builds my displays, he always finds the most interesting doors and finds a way to really display the character of it, as well as feeding my "old door fetish!" :)

Such a sweet story....

I can definately identify with her "old door fetish"! haha.....I seem to have one myself :)

Thanx so much Amber & Jose for being our first feature!
