I Love Collecting: CHALKWARE

WHY DO I COLLECT?

Why do I collect? That's easy... because it's so much fun! Ever since I can remember I have been going to flea markets, antique shops, yard sales, you name it. Wherever I could find some sort of interesting treasure or cool piece of junk! I love driving around in search of new places or revisiting my favorite spots. I come from a family of collectors and have lived amongst antiques and collectibles my whole life. I have a passion for decorating especially with things that I find in my travels or even things found in the trash... which by the way can be some of the best stuff! But for those who share the same passion, I don't have to tell you... you all know what fun it is and how addicting it can be! Here I will share my collections, interesting finds, decorating tips, photos, projects, friends collections and thoughts and whatever else I may find along the way.

CHALKWARE

I love chalkware! Shown here are some examples of my fruit chalkware that hangs all around my vintage kitchen. It's so colorful and fun! I found the large apple shown in the center at one of my favorite local thrift shops just laying on a shelf mixed in with other junk. I am so glad I spotted it!! And, it was 50 cents!!
