Delicious radishes from the cottage garden! This is about half of what I picked this past weekend!

Mom's whiskey barrel planter. Great idea! The lettuce is looking lovely! She already cut it back once so this is the second round. Fantastic fresh salads are on the menu! She has a few others, one with spinach and herbs, and a few with blueberry bushes in them.

One of the gardens at my house. 5 types of lettuce this year, swiss chard, onions, broccoli, leeks, and celery fill up this one.

The smaller of the two beds. This one has onions, garlic, kale, the token tomato plant, pak choi, basil, and a huge fennel plant. I like to use fennel leaf in salad but if anybody has a great recipe for the leaves let me know!

You'll find me under the VintageGoodies banner! The booth is filled with great green goodies at the moment! Including this table and 5 chair set, includes leaf, it's dated 1969. Besides great vintage housewares you'll find things like little handmade barkcloth pillows!

The front porch, one entrance to our space. It was pretty cool being under the big top and we were really lucky to have a nice cross breeze with the sun and heat at this show.

Part of our office area.

Inside the shop, I loved the look of the bigger pieces meshing with the smaller ones. But I have to be honest and say that after moving furniture all week I think I"ll stick with my one true love, housewares.

The kitchen area continues and meshes into the garden area!

And finally, the back porch, with laundry area to the left.

This is what our booth looked like at the end of setup day. Still a bit of work to do but working by flashlight wasn't happening. Sleep needed here.

Friday night we got Mr. Truck towed to a nearby shop. Bummertown.

The truck is fixed! Wait a minute, after dinner it stalled on us. Lisa B. mobile mechanic to the rescue here. These are the kind of gals I like to roll with. The truck seemed to start fine most of the rest of the time and we were able to pack it up and get outta there. However, on the way up North in Michigan to reset a booth in Elk Rapids we discovered a leak. Turns out it was brake fluid. We spent 4 hours at the truck mechanic shop getting the master brake line redone. I said goodbye to Lisa B probably 4 times as the truck started and stalled on the way out of my driveway. I was much relieved to know she made it back home last night. You never know what can happen on the road. I'd say we were pretty lucky we didn't have bad problems in the middle of nowhere or lose the brakes altogether!

Loadin up the truck, long way to go in this pic! The garage behind me still looks totally full.

Voila! DONE! You can barely close the door but we got it all in minus a chair! I give us 5 stars for being the packing geniuses that we are.

So many favorite pieces this month! The blue melmac is fantastic, the aqua plastic doily placemat, the glassware, the fired on aqua milk glass mugs, the newly acquired aqua dust pan, the aqua owl with home saying, the birdie planter, and finally the leaf vase. Do you know if the leaf vase is McCoy? I can't find it in my books, but it seems like an earlier one perhaps.

This melmac with tree design is amazing. I just love how it goes with the vintage tablecloth! More vintage napkins, and some Mackinac Bridge glasses make this a lovely table setting indeed!
