The market has two floors of shopping, with different vendors and a wonderful, quirky variety of wares, from furniture, to crafts, art, and vintage.

Also, Bunting Online Auctions is a weekly auction of a wild variety of items that you can preview in person.

Fascinating place!

When I see an unusual but damaged wooden bowl at the thrift store, I feel compelled to save it and then repair it to become my "canvas." Stay tuned for what comes next for this piece!

Pieces in progress. Newsprint, tulle, acrylic paint, miscellaneous saved papers, serviettes, images from toy packaging, fabric from a blouse, all on secondhand wood items. Playing!

One thing I love to do: preserve ephemera and "frame" them in unique ways for display and/or practical use. Might be a ripped paper image, might be a piece of fabric from a damaged but meaningful item, might be a drawing by one of my children. So much works!

I love Monet's Rouen Cathedral series. Adore. Significant to me for many reasons. Spotted the series on a newspaper page and saved it. Found the perfect tray at a thrift store. Painted the tray and decoupaged white tulle fabric for the background. Added the newsprint images and more paint to blend the edges. So happy with it. All it needs is to be sealed, then it can be used as a tray, or simply hung on the wall.

What seemingly odd vintage (or not) thing are you drawn to collect?
For me, too many things. One is vintage towels, when I can find them in good condition at a thrift store. They make me happy.
Recent find: a pair of green and white Fieldcrest hand towels. 😍

I am back! The shop is back! Did you miss us?
Since the pandemic began, my online shop and art have been sorely neglected. I am remedying that! Five new original art pieces are finished and listed.
These handmade artworks are on vintage wood boxes, four of them lovely cigar boxes, and are created using various collected papers, fabric, foil, and paint. Each is sealed with layers of cured polyeurethane and can be put to practical use for keepsakes, jewelry, whatever fits that needs a one-of-a-kind container.

Found a pair of these Homco wall hangings in very sorry shape: cracked, gold paint peeling off. I spray painted them with outdoor-grade black and am starting to add details in pink and yellow. I am going to color only the flowers. Depth to come!
