Happy Independence Day to all! Thank you to all the men and women (and their families) in our armed forces who give and have gave of themselves so generously so that each American enjoys the freedoms we hold so dear.
A vintage French Provincial pink velvet settee, brought in Thursday night, sold Saturday morning. 
Great old iron full size bed with brass ball finials, several old chairs with original paint, vintage curvy, beveled edge mirror, old primitive bench
piles of quilts perfect for the porch or for making pillows, great prices on these!
A tufted love seat in an ivory linen, wonderful size for smaller rooms, a French inspired 4 foot tall birdcage, 100% cotton pillows with red stripes and floral
The French Provincial pink velvet sofa, pitcher and bowl set with darling pink and yellow flowers
You could easily seat 6-7 people on this couch! Love the rattan inserts.
a vintage concrete garden fountain
Old wicker with make-do linen cushion cover, more cotton pillows with tie-ons.
The wicker again, tiered wire stand with votive cups, the perfect centerpiece for outdoor entertaining as it does double duty as a serving piece too, put bread sticks in the "crow's nest" top and fill the bottom with buns for burgers and brats, with napkins, condiments, etc. When the meal is over put a couple of potted plants on the tiers, lights the candles and voila!, your guests will "ooh & ahh" at you just like at the fireworks.
Another faded quilt used as a tablecloth on our red/white/blue table, 4 cottage style chairs
Cafe glass holder (great for waffle cones too!), a pile of napkins with a pastoral embroidery, new French styled cutting boards, great wedding gift (attention chefs: one for vegetables and a separate for onions)
The red, white & blue table set with vintage metal trays that feature an anchor in the middle, wavy salad or cheese plates, red embroidered napkins, starfish place card holders, boxed sets of tea towels, a perfect gift for the hostess
A Kramer Brothers Campagna urn on plinth, a vintage wicker table (this is one to buy and have forever...so many uses, you will never tire of it), an insulated metal tea storage box, the birdcage
Another cottage style dresser in "as found" paint, great curvy little legs and bowed front
A chandelier repurposed into a tabletop candelabra, awesome patina!

The entry to our garden area was flanked by two large, round porch columns I brought from the shop. Creating an imaginary fence to either side were ball topiary forms with lush baskets of licorice vine. I sold out of the forms on Saturday and started taking orders for more. There are a few back in stock at the shop now so if you were one of the ones who didn't grab one fast enough hurry in and claim yours now! Available in black and weathered rusty steel. (See larger photo below.)
A fantastic fountain, newly painted "Nocturnal Forest"...don't groan because I painted it, it was fire engine red when I found it! If I painted it white you wouldn't have been able to look at it when the sun is out, so a creamy, easy on the eye black green it was. One piece of the fence sold, one small and 2 large are available. But hey...is anyone seeing that Victorian fence post? I can't believe that came home (to the shop) with me but it did. It is a fabulous piece and would look stunning in a garden. There are four holes on the bottom that are perfect for anchoring it into the earth. You really should see it in person, this picture just doesn't do it justice.
Angel boy made the trip with us and did not fly away in the wind, I did hear one comment about "angels wear thongs?" Well, this little guy is a modest angel. The wicker settee on the left sold, the pigs on the left sold. The fernery is an amazing piece with it's original tin planter inserts and metal bottom rattan birdcage. The rounded out area in between the planters was for a large fishbowl! How fun would that be?
The church pew and four scrolly wire French plant stands in fantastic apple green paint.
A close up of the topiary ball stands. The top closes over your plant/hanging basket and you simply push the stand into the ground or it is a perfect topper for a large urn creating two levels of showy blooms.
Wicker was snapped up right and left, as were gorgeous, impeccable vintage garden pieces like the McCoy pedestal and hand-blown, mercury glass, Victorian gazing ball (between chair on right and sofa) and a c. 1910 Brush McCoy jardiniere with it's matching pedestal (not pictured as it was sold before photo).
Garden chairs, bird baths, trellis' and screens all found new homes
Janet's boot drying rack on the table and the four French door windows all sold. Her fantastic field table sports old robin's egg blue paint and looks so cute with her set of four blue folding chairs!
This 3-tiered plant stand has gorgeous old grey paint with bits of aqua showing through, a great find by Janet. The lightening rods are also a wonderful garden element. One white and one hard-to-find blue with it's original weather vane arrow.
Lot's of interest in the pair of 19th century Kramer Bros. cast iron "Beauty" urns (two on table, one is in shadow). They may be taking a trip to a fine home in Alabama. A true southern gentleman dealer from South Carolina who was inquiring about two of the urns at the show (there is another urn, a five piece set of vintage lawn furniture and lots of iron architectural fragments) asked me in his lilting southern drawl..."Are you the Iron Lady?" After days of prepping, loading, packing and unpacking...my arms were feeling as heavy as iron so I said "Yes, I guess I am" 
By Saturday afternoon our entryway had been wiped out as all the topiary basket holders had sold. So late Saturday evening I made a call and my favorite "Emporium" came through for me. On our way back to Granville early Sunday morning we stopped and picked up two pieces of Victorian fencing and re-created our entryway. Janet had some tea-stained patriotic banners on hand to complete the look. I think the other dealers thought we just recreated groupings all the time just for fun! I even had one say "Well, this is your first 3-day show, that explains why you keep moving stuff around" HA! No, it's because we know what our customers want and we spend lots of time making sure they get it. We believe, as we always have, that shopping is so much more then just going out and "getting something". It's special and should be treated as such. We know that sometimes there are items that just make your heart pitter-patter and we try to do just that for as many as possible. After all, isn't that what a weekend such as this is all about? Don't you want to feel and know that vendors did their all for you? I know I do when I am the customer.
See...there is so much more than white painted furniture at White Cottage. 
Another urn, this one a classic Kramer Bros. Campagna style with squared handles on plinth, old wood corbels, a darling wicker footstool with pink paint showing through brown, some funky metal half round elements that would make unique covers for candles strategically placed in garden beds around your patio, also, a smattering of mushrooms and dogwood branches.
Cast iron stove base with a collection of items found around the grounds. A lichen covered stick, an elephant ear fungus, dried moss and our concrete mushrooms. This looked wonderful under one of the glass cloches but it sold prior to this picture.
And lastly, one of the four scrolly green plant stands. These could be used in a variety of ways other than plants. Use as a serving piece for muffins at a brunch or to stylishly hold napkins, plates or cups for a backyard alfresco dinner, or a pillar candle with a large glass hurricane fitted just perfectly to keep the wind from blowing out your fun. We didn't let it blow out ours! 
Fantastic green scrolly wire planters on legs, old green paint, four available.
Five piece set of cast iron lawn furniture with a perfect patina, you can't recreate this finish!
Fancy cast iron grill work, would be wonderful hanging on a wall in a garden, mounted to a bedroom wall for a headboard or attach legs and lay piece of glass on top for a one of a kind table.
Two 19th century Kramer Brothers urns WITH the arms!! These are getting hard to find and I almost always have to sit on someone at an auction so they go home with me!
A very funky and unusual piece of architecture, top of a garden fence or arbor? Hand made and paint as found...THAT was time consuming to assemble, lots of patience.
A wonderful Victorian peacock, this is a grand lady and a couple of times she has tried to get in my car to go home with me.
A new soy candle I recently started carrying. These are hand poured into recycled wine bottles and make the most unique gift for that hard to by for person (Mom?). Five yummy fragrances; Amber Musk, Red Currant, French Pear, Lemon Verbena and Casablanca Lily
I don't know why but I love beds restyled into benches, this one has a great look as the cutouts on the high back mirror the skirt on the front. Would be a wonderful piece inside your door as a place to sit and remove those muddy Wellingtons.
I'm always searching for architectural items. This is one of the largest brackets I have seen in a while. Sports old grey paint.
Another Kramer Brothers urn.
Jewelry handmade by us. These are fashioned out of Victorian shoe buckles and sash holders.
Our dress form had a costome change!
These just arrived last week. They are stands with grapevine nests that hold glass cups. You can use them for candles, to serve condiments at a cookout or on a mantle with moss and eggs as we have it here. So different!
A cast iron Victorian cherub mirror. At one point in it's life it would have been freestanding but we thing it would be lovely propped up or hanging.
An old carpenter's tote with original red paint. Perfect for your Memorial Day weekend parties.
Another new arrival, these standing bird candleabras are perfect on a porch or patio as they have mini hurricanes for each candle.
An assortment of old boxes for blankets, flowers, etc.
A wonderful old trunk with the best mix of old paint and rusty handles. What a great coffee table!
A darling dresser with yellow and green paint, quintessential old cottage.
