My thoughts have been split on whether or not to continue my Gifty Chix blog for the coming year. I know that some of you have followed me for a long time and I appreciate that, however, maybe you are not aware that I also blog under my business name of Brocanteur Vintage? No? Well, it seems sometimes that my blogs are abit repetitive and, actually, uninteresting so I will no longer have this Gifty Chix blog after today. If you wish to become a follower of mine please go to Brocanteur Vintage to keep track of my activities. It has been fun jotting down my thoughts but it is time to focus on one blog at a time. I hope that you follow me over at Brocanteur Vintage. See you there.</td></tr>

This wonderful little puppy is an American Red Nose Bull Terrier, yes, a pitbull. He is 9 weeks old and male.<br />
<br />
For those of you who are not familiar with pitbulls other than by reputation, let me tell you that they are loyal, kind, sweet and probably the best friend a family could have.<br />
<br />
This baby has been orphaned, as it will, by his owner due to an emergency and now needs a new situation. Poor thing.....<br />
<br />
This cutie can be had for $250 delivered to you if you live in the Portland area OR $200 if you live in Seattle. Please help me find a home for this little guy because he deserves one. You can call my son Erik at 360 355-6022 if you can help.<br />

In the midst of all the holiday chaos, the best place to unwind is at the beach. I cannot think of anywhere else I would rather be than sitting by an outdoor fire on a sandy shore somewhere.</div>
<div align="center">
I have traveled many places but there is no prettier place that the Oregon coast beaches. Beautiful.</div>
<div align="center">
I hope you can all get away this season and enjoy alittle "me" time. Time to refresh and reenergize yourselves.</div>

Some great, some not so great but all of them taught me something about myself. This, it itself, is the greatest thing in the world. </span><br />

Sound familiar? Well, I came up with this piece that made an absolutely wonderful tree topper. What I made was an accordian pleated star burst, or whatever you call them, then I glued a 1 1/2" circle to both the back and the front to stablize it. I then hot glued an old vintage earring into the middle and then put clear glitter around the entire center circle.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">It was such an easy project and it took me no time at all. Even folding the pleats took about 10 minutes total for me to do. I finished it with a small piece of satin ribbon on the back side to tie it to the tree top. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Currently this topper is on my white Christmas tree in my booth in Monticello Antique Marketplace where I sell under the name of Brocanteur Vintage. Please stop by and take a look at this topper and maybe you'll get inspired to make one of your own for this year's Christmas tree.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

<br />
Vintage Christmas decorations will be available in my booth in all colors. If you like pink and blue, along with very old glass bulbs, this is the place to obtain them. Get them early before they all sell out.<br />
<br />
The holidays at Camas Antiques is the most fun you can have this side of the river. All the booths will be decked out in their Christmas finest for all to enjoy. There will be lots of sales going on and it is a great chance to pickup a Christmas gift or two before the rush.<br />
<br />
So make a plan to come on out and see me at Camas Antiques. Don't forget to visit my other booth, Brocanteur Vintage, at Camas Antiques, too.</div>Gifty Chixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07077795073099443618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3151242016606751279.post-61287503549892464172011-10-27T09:35:00.000-07:002011-10-27T09:35:43.753-07:00Doll Heads.....My New Love<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZomCk3jwVMcEw6pN1M5qs2TGLElacAkdC_eoXh6oZ6AopgxihUVFt9Go7YDXONta32HwBrTBPbwWelzLep0v-MnVhkduanSlS9xS9LIGAQerZVITZ3vSnLhMYY4tglHXSw0pAmuUW7xSo/s1600/008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZomCk3jwVMcEw6pN1M5qs2TGLElacAkdC_eoXh6oZ6AopgxihUVFt9Go7YDXONta32HwBrTBPbwWelzLep0v-MnVhkduanSlS9xS9LIGAQerZVITZ3vSnLhMYY4tglHXSw0pAmuUW7xSo/s200/008.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>Now I know it is kinda creepy to collect old doll heads but I gotta tell you that it has been fun shopping for them. However, I have found that it is getting increasingly more difficult due to the fact that people are buying them up just to remove the EYES. Must be a collectible currently as I have been told by many people. Weird, huh?<br />
<br />
<br />
Not only that but with Halloween around the corner it isn't difficult to see why dolls heads....and eyes, would be in demand. But I do have some heads that I will be taking out to Monticello this week. So if you are in need, please stop by my Brocanteur Vintage booth and have a look see.</div>Gifty Chixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07077795073099443618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3151242016606751279.post-25989181080775697452011-10-03T14:23:00.000-07:002011-10-03T14:25:23.902-07:00Fall In The Pacific Northwest<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsYRgFzXkHujrbZ8brwQja0olqAtmZRsQSKcFnOVNl7R2agYO8tZ4c78pYHDjHnQgPEvzGxzqWHzsry3ZCXZSdugQgRocmZwJDSs54VBXKdej6gfU59wkjUsXiOJKeeXLAIKi8OmXnNvAe/s1600/IMAG0074.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsYRgFzXkHujrbZ8brwQja0olqAtmZRsQSKcFnOVNl7R2agYO8tZ4c78pYHDjHnQgPEvzGxzqWHzsry3ZCXZSdugQgRocmZwJDSs54VBXKdej6gfU59wkjUsXiOJKeeXLAIKi8OmXnNvAe/s200/IMAG0074.jpg" width="119" /></a>Fall in the Northwest....is there anything better!? Personally, I really like the change in season. Leaves changing colors, pumpkins of all shapes and sizes and, of course, the Fall Harvest at the Pumpkin Patch on Suavie Island in Oregon. Now if you have not been to Sauvie Island you must go. It is a great place for fruits and vegetable, especially this time of the year. This last weekend, they had their Fall Harvest festivities and it was a great time to take the kids out for a hay ride, cow caravan train and to eat lots of really great food. The one item that we go there to get is the peaches and cream corn. This has got all other varieties beat by a long shot. Sweet and crisp, this is a DON'T MISS item in my book. They sell it 4 ears for $1.00, can't beat the price. Stock up and freeze an ear or two for later.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I made corn succotash with 5 ears of our bunch and it was fabulous. Corn, red pepper, onion, herbs and whatever you like in the way of vegetables really. Makes a healthy and seasonal dish. You should give it a try.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So, if you get a chance to make it to Suavie Island over the next few weekends I encourage you to do so. Don't miss this opportunity to get some great produce and have a fun time in the outdoors as well. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

out.<br />
<br />
There was so much great stuff that it was hard not to blow a bunch <br />
of money before it even opened. I had to buy something for myself<br />
that will make its way into my home that's for sure.<br />
<br />
Being that this show has been done now for 3 years and just gets bigger and better is a tribute to the hard work that Debbie and Laurie of Worthy Goods and JoAnn Taylor of Camas Antiques do in order to make it run so smoothly. I thank them all for their dedication to this really great show.<br />

So, again, if you missed it well, make sure next year you don't. We missed you all and hope to see you soon at the next show.</div>Gifty Chixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07077795073099443618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3151242016606751279.post-81032607886582947072011-08-26T18:13:00.000-07:002011-08-26T18:13:39.616-07:00Bunnies, Bunnies Everywhere<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjBSZLsJ3PWVLulwdq879oIBnA_KXZyB5tvj0TWh5Mfm7ZqBwET_r7dcyQ7ie-Za5U-LFunwIeX5HARcr1DejZaVQ2mDRZWIk1wVRWTGSZ5zdyPZ9FAuGuvUERZznoDDUkztDKPpx6n3vo/s1600/001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" qaa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjBSZLsJ3PWVLulwdq879oIBnA_KXZyB5tvj0TWh5Mfm7ZqBwET_r7dcyQ7ie-Za5U-LFunwIeX5HARcr1DejZaVQ2mDRZWIk1wVRWTGSZ5zdyPZ9FAuGuvUERZznoDDUkztDKPpx6n3vo/s320/001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>There was a family who lived in our neighborhood not too long ago who let loose into the wild 2 domestic grey rabbits.<br />
<br />
Here it is almost two years later and now there are about 50 rabbits running all around our house, in the alley, in the field and everywhere.<br />
<br />
Did you know that they prefer apples to carrots on any given day, too. I feed them daily (almost daily) and they are soooo cute when they come over and feed as a family and eat right out of my hands.<br />
<br />
The one in the photo I think is a mother rabbit so she brings over her hubby and babies and eat our grass and lay in the shade under our trees. The passing people who are on their walks bring food for them so there is no doubt that they will all be fat and happy while they slumber this upcoming winter.</div>Gifty Chixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07077795073099443618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3151242016606751279.post-21448032591319412532011-08-11T18:24:00.000-07:002011-08-11T18:24:33.710-07:00Adult ADD......I Think<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSf_Ezi0xO2LcN40WsIVMo9fIVVZc4tRV4cu1yYgiM8FKwDZTTwWnVS-cxq6Bviz56aXHakK8Cwh1tpBfqwhKcyyWLhA1qoG3NaZ4oHxvfuJHgpR2lRK9sDHFAaAL4XslvS_upzKvAizED/s1600/burlap+bags+small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" naa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSf_Ezi0xO2LcN40WsIVMo9fIVVZc4tRV4cu1yYgiM8FKwDZTTwWnVS-cxq6Bviz56aXHakK8Cwh1tpBfqwhKcyyWLhA1qoG3NaZ4oHxvfuJHgpR2lRK9sDHFAaAL4XslvS_upzKvAizED/s1600/burlap+bags+small.jpg" /></a></div><div closure_uid_pou24e="242">I'm thinking of changing my tickets......again.

</div><div closure_uid_smvxtr="264">This wood pulley was exactly one of those items.

</div><div closure_uid_smvxtr="264">You see, he was a collector. Not only of this type of item but of fireman's axes. All types. Big ones and small ones. Also, animal traps. Kinda yucky but.....and also, irons. The type you iron your clothing with. He must have had 50 of them dating back to who knows when. Great stuff.</div><div closure_uid_smvxtr="264"><br />
</div><div closure_uid_smvxtr="264">Anyway, I settled on this pulley, some duck decoys, galvanized pans and a bunch of other smaller items.

Take this blue cubby for instance; couldn't you see this colorful piece somewhere in your home? Better yet, your studio? I could.<br />
<br />
There are such great colors that easily mix in with the greys and whites that we all have. Are you brave enough to mix in a bit of color? I know I am.<br />
<br />
Lately, I have been playing with a few color pieces that I am selling at Camas Antiques. Blues, greens and greys. At the upcoming BarnHouse July Marketplace I will actually have wood pieces that are not painted white but dark and beautiful. Time to start mixing it up going into Fall.<br />
<br />
So don't miss the BarnHouse sale in July and drop by and say HI and take a look at all my goodies. I'll be there under my Brocanteur Vintage name.<br />

So much so that I will be planted in front of my television for 22 days until the race is finished. Even if this means getting up at 5:00 AM or even, sometimes, 3:00 AM to partake in the excitement of each days race.<br />
<br />
This year looks to be the hardest tour ever but they say that every year...don't they? It started this morning and I was there at 5:00 am with my Tour De France cap on (I know, what an idiot). But oh what fun.<br />
<br />
So, if you have never watched the coverage, try and take a peek at it. It's very exciting and what a great way to see the beautiful countryside of France.<br />
<br />

<br />
There have been so many shows that I have committed to that I am having a hard time keeping up with all the merchandise that I need. Between Camas Antique sales and these various shows my inventory is looking rather "soft" about now.<br />
<br />
Never fear, I do have things, lots a big things, lurking around Oregon and Washington that I need to pick up and put into my inventory as soon as possible. I think you will all like what you are going to see from both Gifty Chix and Brocanteur Vintage (my other business). So keep visiting and shopping with me. I'm sure you too will find a piece that speaks to you.</div>Gifty Chixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07077795073099443618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3151242016606751279.post-83826737973023526362011-06-22T11:53:00.000-07:002011-06-22T11:54:33.487-07:00Recycled or Repurposed...You'll Find It This Weekend In Vancouver<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <br />

Saturday and Sunday will be packed with lots and lots of interesting items being offered in the booths that will be positioned all over Esther Short Park. If you have not been there lately, then this is the weekend to come. The Vancouver Farmer's Market, as well as, the Recycle Arts Fair will be happening both days and the weather, thus far, plans to cooperate with us. <br />

So, come on out and I hope to see you all this weekend.</div></div>Gifty Chixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07077795073099443618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3151242016606751279.post-51397042341556176212011-06-22T09:48:00.000-07:002011-06-22T09:48:30.896-07:00Blogger Problems....Again<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Every now and again I encounter a problem with getting photos over to my blog post page. Does anyone else have these issues?<br />
<br />
If Blogger is suppose to be soooooo easy to use then why does it have this stupid issue alot of the time? Now I do NOT claim to be a super techie but come on now, this is a ridiculous problem to have, don't you think ?<br />
<br />
In bloggerland if there is anyone who can tell me how to fix this problem I would really appreciate your feedback. <br />

So, of course, I had to make some scrabble tile pendants out of them.<br />
<br />
This has got to be the cutest stuff that I've seen in a long time and after putting them on the scrabble tiles and making the pendants, it only got cuter.<br />
<br />
These will be available in my Gifty Chix space at Camas Antiques. The are $12 for the pendant/chain (30") combinations.<br />
<br />
Those of you who shoot pictures need to have at least one of these around your neck.</div>Gifty Chixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07077795073099443618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3151242016606751279.post-29842660069787945792011-06-12T11:22:00.000-07:002011-06-12T11:22:00.722-07:00Am I Dreaming or Is It Sunny Outside<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkq9XmeoN8YrQIie9zgI2Ux58grNMI572x0-2vLaGtF_2bBsvn1ap8U2WNwptjB_2WBNXrWepCNtvJCHbU4QSi1dIOIxytNX_eQrS2WPbm346HiQUQXVexObsn1RhIWXuNmVQi6u24o3LM/s1600/022.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkq9XmeoN8YrQIie9zgI2Ux58grNMI572x0-2vLaGtF_2bBsvn1ap8U2WNwptjB_2WBNXrWepCNtvJCHbU4QSi1dIOIxytNX_eQrS2WPbm346HiQUQXVexObsn1RhIWXuNmVQi6u24o3LM/s320/022.JPG" t8="true" width="320" /></a></div>Don't look now but the sun's out....again.<br />
<br />
I really would be sad if I jinxed it by saying that but really, I've had to wear my sunglasses 2 days in a row, do you believe it ?!<br />
<br />
We were up north yesterday picking up some stuff for my booth and it was cloudy and kinda dark but it never did rain. On the drive home it was getting more and more sunny the closer we got to Vancouver and I missed out on a great sunny day in my own part of the state. Oh well, today is making me very happy.<br />
<br />
How about you ?......Get outside and do something fun !</div>Gifty Chixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07077795073099443618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3151242016606751279.post-82823402298542785142011-06-02T07:34:00.000-07:002011-06-02T07:34:22.890-07:00Camas Recycled Art Festival<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJHQmx8Dco8oBAMiT6XAR6nlOJX_eL4xTnecPEAdDIBcxi3PB5i5m1HvPJexBc-YP-nCFXFAzN7E-MaEF233xKYH0oGR7Cf__Wsnrh1IjJT0IJQ2c1JAy7RWZZAzlRUyNkDkmY1ZHLlfcG/s1600/221.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJHQmx8Dco8oBAMiT6XAR6nlOJX_eL4xTnecPEAdDIBcxi3PB5i5m1HvPJexBc-YP-nCFXFAzN7E-MaEF233xKYH0oGR7Cf__Wsnrh1IjJT0IJQ2c1JAy7RWZZAzlRUyNkDkmY1ZHLlfcG/s320/221.JPG" t8="true" width="320" /></a></div>Friday night marks the first annual Camas Recycled Art Festival.<br />
<br />
Held in downtown Camas, this surely will prove to be a fun and interesting night for everyone. There are many talented vendors who will be offering recycled jewelry, along with other items, depending on their speciality.<br />
<br />
Please be sure to drop by my booth where I will be selling my scrabble pendants along with some spoon pendants as well.<br />
<br />
There will be a ballot that you can fill in to vote as you peruse the various booths and ultimately win prizes for doing so. So please make this a great send off for a new festival in Camas and join us at 5 PM downtown for the Camas Recycled Art Festival and First Friday, too !<br />
<br />
See you there..................................</div>Gifty Chixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07077795073099443618noreply@blogger.com0
