"Evening in Wonderland"

Hello,

The Shabby House in Boise held a benefit this past Friday for Friends in Action. The theme was an "Evening in Wonderland". The night turned out to be just as wonderful as the dismal Boise weather stalled its raining and blowing long enough to grace us with a perfect spring evening! Whether it was a gift from the Gods for Mother's Day or just because Mother Nature knew it was for a good cause, we didn't care as we sipped on wine and basked in the sunlight. There were fabulous estate sale items, wine, food, and music to enjoy while shopping for the perfect treasure. Here's some pics from the fun event:

Alice in Wonderland display. Love the clocks hanging from the trees.

Uh oh. I see a hole. Should we explore or beware?

Too late-We've headed down the hole for an adventure! Will we ever get home?

The band played on a wooden stage under a crystal chandelier.

A pink chandelier hangs from this tent filled with pastel treasures.



My favorite little hideaway. I wish I had a secret shed in my backyard to daydream in or gossip with my bf while sipping on a chocolate martini.

So inviting.

I'll just lay down for a moment.

Pretty pots in a row.

This magical path leads to fairyland.

If you look close enough, you will see them in the twinkling light of the sunset.

Let's dance.

An upside down light fixture is painted pale pink and held tasty treats-alas I was too late to enjoy any of them!

Inside the Shabby House-so many pretty displays.


More pink prom dresses!


Why go out when you can stay in wearing one of the racy nighties for your love!




You could float away on white clouds of relaxation on this daybed-never to return to the real world again. Please say it could be so!


I don't want to go home!

Take care,
Di

Vintage Party Dresses


Hello,

A new, adorable booth has opened at Antique World Mall filled with frilly, fabulous vintage party and prom dresses, shoes, and sparkly accessories. Who wouldn't feel like a princess dancing the night away with her prince in one of these pretty outfits.

The next time your headed out for a big night on the town, why not stop by and pick-out a swanky vintage dress or even one shimmery bangle to complete your ensemble. I love the black and pink polka dot dress above-if only I was a size 8!




Happy Dancing!

Tonight is the big "Save After Six Sale" again at the Antique World Mall in Boise. Every third Friday of the month, from 6-9pm, dealers participate in additional discounts in their booths (I do 30% off-even on sale items).

I want a pink crown!


Love the black polka-dot chair!

Blankets galore!

Cute vintage baby shower decor
The frogs are pondering their day.

Happy Easter


Hello,
Since the Antique World Mall is closed on Easter Sunday-so all of the great staff there can enjoy Easter with their families-I thought I'd post a few pics of fun Easter displays for you to enjoy as you munch on chocolate eggs and maybe a mimosa!
"Fresh Eggs .25 cents"-The good old days!

Two cute little chicks!

Weathered watering cans sit in an aged wire basket. The eggs are about to hatch!

Porcelain bunnies perch on top of a pretty garden table.

This Easter basket looks like the kind we got as kids-stuffed with plastic grass, chocolate bunnies, and jelly beans. Mom would always hide a "special" treat at the bottom. A small doll when we were little, and as we grew older, a tube of lip gloss or bright blue eyeshadow.

These are all soooo adorable! I want to buy them all.


Every little girl should have a new pretty dress to wear on Easter. Pick one of these!

This basket is filled with delicate doilies.

Happy Easter!
