Mirror Mirror On The Wall and Found Cottage Mercantile Market

 


Hard to believe summer is over and fall is coming.  I am a summer girl and love the heat and sunshine.  Fall is usually great here in the midwest but I would love to hold onto summer a little longer.

Terry and I spent the weekend in Michigan and went to
The Found Cottage Mercantile Market.  It is all outdoors market and is every Labor Day Weekend.

Here are a few pictures of all the treasures to be found at the Mercantile.



I saw this witch made out of vintage things and an old mannequin.

I have an upcoming girlfriend party where we are all going to be witches.  I have an old mannequin similar to this one so I am going to use things I have to make her up for the party.  I will show you that in a latter post.

As you can see the wallpaper is gone and new paintable textured wallpaper is going up.  We also got crown molding to hang so stay tuned for another post with all of this accomplished.
The long mirror now sits in my dining room and reflects the chandelier and lets in a lot of light.



These antique mirrors of all sizes and shapes have been collected and will be added to the wall after the paper and crown is finished.  I will have that in a future post.

Here is an inspiration picture of gallery wall mirrors.  Mirrors very similar to the ones I have.



Remember the last post when I showed you those pesky bud worms that ate a lot of my beautiful flowers.  Well I have taken care of that problem and was worries with it being the end of the season I might not be able to get the bags to bloom.


Well with a little bit of TLC and the help of bloom booster they are coming back around.  Not as beautiful as they were but they are trying to hang on a little longer.

Hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend.  It was so nice to get away to the Mercantile Market and see my little grandson that lives in Michigan now.  We got him an electric guitar so he is a rock star now.
