Vintage Folding Ruler Star

A Big THANK YOU to everyone that stopped by and saw me at the Craft, Food and Wine show this weekend at Cheel Arena.  I had a great time and got lots of great feedback!

Today I have to share this cute ruler star.  I purchased this ruler for $3.00 at North Country Neighbor in Potsdam a while back and came across it while putting my christmas decorations out.   I was trying to figure out a way to display it b/c it is aged wonderfully.  So as I was unfolding it, I thought it would look  neat as a star, and so it does!

It needs a little more decoration so I'm going to try to make something or maybe I will find something today at North Country Neighbors!

For my last show of the year, I will be at the Christmas Vendor Market at the Old Phil's Florist shop in Massena, this Saturday, Dec 17th from 10 - 2.  Stop by for a unique gift!

Flea Market Finds: Jadite Bowl

Yesterday I visited one of my favorite North Country shops, North Country Neighbors, and found some great finds at incredible prices!  Their Holiday Open House is this Saturday, so stop by and find some great buys!

Vintage Jadite Bowl - Originally $18, one sale for half off only $9.00, similar ones listed on Etsy for $40!

5 Vintage Candy Canes - $1.00 similar ones on Etsy $7.00

This wasn't  a super deal but I have wanted it for weeks so I finally bought it, floral strainer $8.00.

Stop by the Holiday Open House, Saturday December 3 in Downtown Potsdam.  I am going to try to stop by after my show in Downtown Massena from 10 - 2 at the Old Phil's Florist Shop!

Flea Market Finds: Window Panes and Doors

When visiting one of my favorite junk picking spots in Potsdam, where I previously got an old door and old dresser.  I found these wonderful items, all at unbelievable prices.  I am not going to share what I paid for the 6 pane windows, since I'm probably going to resell them after I clean them up a bit.  The 12 pane window will be going in our bedroom and I only paid $5 for that.  I am currently working on cleaning it up, watch for the post!

I also found 2 more old matching doors, that have the knobs still on them.  I paid only $5 a piece for them as well.  I believe they are solid oak. I want to clean them up and make a different head and footboard for our bed.  Please ignore the mattress on the floor if this pic it is waiting for be cut up :).  

Flea Market Finds: Krups Ice Cream Maker & Cake Batter Ice Cream Recipe

Recently at the Best Friends Thrift Store (all proceeds benefit the Potsdam Humane Society) I found a Krups Ice Cream Maker for $20.  I have always wanted an ice cream maker but they can be rather pricey.  Of course this one works wonderfully and is incredibly easy to use.

I love Cake Batter Ice Cream from Cold Stone Creamery so of course my first trial run of my ice cream maker would be to make that.  I found a recipe on Pinterest from the blog Baked Perfection and it is delicious!
