Willow's Nest at Marburger Farms

The Willow's Nest at Marburger Farms was one of my favorite venues.
They craft their own items & they're amazing.

Pillows & Bedding:








(I hate that this picture is blurry but the next day, the doile garland
was gone and I couldn't get another picture, but it was one of my favorites)

Paper Crafts:





Cloches & Bottles:


Matchbox


Pearls of Wisdom



Misc:


Wood collanders

Galvanized pots w/ printed burlap


Notice the cloche w/ just old bottles


French Finds at Marburger Farms

Mom & I ended up going on Preview Day and again the next day.  It was amazing 
how many items (even some I wanted to go back and purchase) were already sold.
Even though it's more expensive to go the first day, I definitely think it was worth it.

 This was one of my favorite venues.  They had amazing pieces.


Antique French Urns ($650 each)
In the urns are paper flowers made out of vintage dress
patterns.  I did take a few home with me.


I love how they put king size pillows in antique grain sacks on this iron day bed



My only purchase regret was these.  I should've purchased one but mom & I
were laughing about our commitment issues. (These were gone the second day)

The next booth had amazing pieces. Loved it all.



French Settee - ready to be upholstered

This lady had antique French architectural pieces. 
They were all amazing and amazingly expensive; however,
the color of blue in these pieces is what captured my attention. 



This venue had beautiful grain sacks and this Postes France sack,
which I wanted badly...







Mom & I each purchased one of these French baskets.
They would put moss in the bottom & flowers in them & hang
the baskets along bridges in the spring and fall. 
Definitely my favorite purchase this time.

French Garden House


I found a cute new place to shop with French finds. 
French Garden House.com.  She carries furniture, antiques
Paris boudoir, Holiday decor, & other fabulous things.
Her French linens are amazing, she even has vintage
French floral and fashion prints.
I agree with Libby that antique finds have more character to your home.
Check out my favorites from her store.

Vintage Ritz Carlton Hotel Silver Butter Dishes:


All of her silver pieces are amazing.  From the antique hotel silver bowls to the silver 
flatware with the mother of pearl handles....

She has the Shabby Ruffled Romance White Cotton Tablecloth as seen in Southern Living. 

 

I bought this Vintage Union Ceramique Hotel Limgoes Tip Tray.  It was used in a French
Hotel and was made in the early 1900's.  It has a black crest with an S topped with a croyal crown.



This settee is amazing - I love most all the furniture she has....
It gives me great ideas of things to look for - especially since
Round Top is coming up soon.
