Wanna Go Shopping and Look At These Yard Decorations!!

Beautiful vintage dishes and fun handpainted signs, furniture and look at this door!!!
Isn't this just the cutest tea cart? This can be found in Denise's space.
Denise also makes these adorable clothespin holders and has them displayed on a vintage laundry basket.
Lots of vintage pottery dishes.
I love this old coffee jar.

Wonderful old feedsack quilt. The price you ask? Just 65.00....
Some treats in Kerri's kitchen room. Cute little bunnies there!
Lovely fall goodies in Jeannie and Karen's fun space!



You will find all kinds of vintage kitsch in Sandy's section.


A lovely new seller has a lot of primitive pieces for sale. Love this little red chair and how she uses old shudders for display. Great decorating idea here!

One of the newest additions is an area with vintage hats and shoes for sale.
Great old red tote. It is an authentic oldie, too.
Below are photos that my husband and I took whilst driving around one afternoon. There were some lovely homes all decorated for the season.

A lovely front porch and below is an adorable cottage that I just love.


Be afraid, be very afraid!!!! Watch out!
Beware? How can you miss him!!??
Arachnaphobia anyone?
This is a little more friendly....what is behind the gate? Look below! The most fabulous PUMPKIN TOPIARY made out of hay! Now this one takes first place in my book!!! I just hope they don't light the pumpkins! ;)
It has been some time ago that I did a little post on my friend Kerri's shop, Remember When, but I thought I'd take you there again to see what she has been up to. Her adorable Antique and Collectible shop is located here in town. She just recently expanded the shop into the space next door so now there are more sellers there and that just means more goodies! If you are in town, try to stop by for a visit. Kerri is delightful and goes out of her way to help you out and answer any questions that you might have. Here is the information for the shop:

Remember When is located at:

3012 McHenry Avenue, Suite C,

Modesto, Ca. 95350

phone: (209) 872-8682 hours: Tuesday through Sunday, 10 AM - 6 PM

If any of you need some really BIG ideas for goolish and fall decorations, I snapped some pics to spark your imagination.....a really BIG imagination, too! When driving around we spotted some really adorable homes that had some great fall frills added to their homes. Just thought I'd share them with y'all!

Have a great weekend everyone and go RED SOX (huh Robin!!). Oh, one more thing...I have been toying around with the blog..trying to make it visually more appealing...do you like the background colour? Be honest now...or should I leave it white? Do tell...

These are great pictures...so many little precious things to see!
But the very best object is the frog - I love him, I wish I could have the same for our garden...I've never seen before a big one like this!
Love, Anja

Anita said...

Oh my, so many pretty things! I really regret that we don't have those kind of yard sales here in Germany, I would go there every week-end! ;-))

Heidi said...

The new color gives a cozy and warm glow to your blog. I want that feedsack quilt. Too bad I don't live closer.

Things are getting exciting around here. On Monday, the first part of our renovations start. We will start upstairs and I will be posting before and after photos on my CTS blog if you want to follow it....

I had to ask my young niece to translate your abbreviation on my comments. I have been in Holland far too long and am not up on those things. Of course, she knew what it was right away. LOL! My mother says I need to tease you and abbreviate a Dutch sentence so here goes.....IWJEGW! :)

Hi Becky,

Your photos are always such eye candy, and these are no exception. I really love that door! And, the Autumn decorations are wonderful.

I like your new background color. It is much more soothing to the eyes than stark white.

Have a nice weekend!

I love seeing all your photos.

I like both colors, however while the new color is soothing to the eyes, I do think the photos pop against the clean white background more.

Becky: The shopping trip was amazing! I saw many things that I would consider purchasing. But my absolute favorite thing of the post is the "attack frog" with the orange hat....way cool! Thanks for taking me along on the fun trip.

Natasha Burns said...

Hi Becky!
Such a feast for the eyes. Love everything you shared!! That tree in the yard is so cool!
And the cottage is so sweet.
I like the background colour, it's soft and easy to read the text, I'd suggest to keep it!
