Christmas Shopping LOCAL Junk Style

pintrest

Christmas shopping was not looking like this.....

so I decided I need to try something new....SHOP LOCAL-because a gift should really be something that You are HANDPICKING, and should be something you really would  love the person to have...PLUS Christmas shopping should be enjoyable, right? So I headed out to the quaint little main street town that we live near, Osceola, Wis.-this is what I found!  I think my mom will LOVE it-she's been looking for some new pieces for her kitchen!

 When you shop with local merchants, more of your money stays close to home; supporting the parks, recreation centers, libraries and other things that make your community a great place to live!

I grew up in a big farmhouse alongside a creek and sparkling pond, I have so many wonderful memories, but one of the very best is when my dad surprised me with my very own red playhouse, complete with a dutch door and window boxes, I would spend my days making it beautiful, picking fresh flowers, rearranging furniture, and "shopping" around the farm for new pieces.... I am forever CHASING JUNK~Obsessed with decorating and making everything around me beautiful. I am a wife, mother, sister, friend, and PICKER. I love to shop at estate and garage sales, flea markets and auctions~hunting for funky, whimsical and unique treasures. I love mixing and old and new, junky and fancy to make fresh fun new pieces. Beautifully decorated homes or the most pulled together looks are ones with a mix of old and new-collected over time. I love the idea for re-using, and re-purposing-being creative and thinking outside the box!
