The owner of the consignment store where I bought the aqua chest said I could not take photos with my Rebel camera. Her reason was she has two bloggers with booths there. I believe she lacks understanding of the generosity of bloggers. It felt like the time the man got mad at me for taking a picture of eggplants at the farmers market. When I decided to buy the aqua chest the booth owner said I could take photos with my iPhone.
Glory be.

The olive bucket.
I want it but it is not priced for me.
I had no idea how large they are.
If I cannot have it, I at least wanted photos of it.
This display was in a hallway and particularly soft and pretty with the different shades of green.
This is the four drawer aqua chest we put in our bedroom.
I have bought a couple of funeral baskets from this vendor before.
I like her style.
You can see the aqua chest in the previous post in our dark cave of a room.

I'd never heard of an olive bucket before! Beautiful photos. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the olive bucket. I keep seeing them at the flea market but have yet to get one. It seems like by the time I see them, I am out of money.
ReplyDeleteLooks like this shop has some great stuff!
I look forward to your posts. I feel like I've been shopping and drooling over the most beautiful and unusual things.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to a consignment shop with booths. The one I go to is just packed full of stuff everyone drops off, like me. Then they sell it and I get 50%. Can't believe she wouldn't let you use your camera.
ReplyDeleteNice chest.
You did just fine with your photos, Olive. Nice shots. So, you can't use your camera, but you can use your iPhone? Hmmm, same difference to me.
ReplyDeleteWow the color of the chest really is aqua. I just painted a small piece of furniture that color ~ love it. So why do olive buckets have vents? I've never seen one before either.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of an olive bucket. Great photos with the iPhone. I like the display with all the green.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful chest. Wonder why she was worried about you taking pictures? Good price on it as well.
ReplyDeleteI have one of those olive bucket and they are a little pricey. I collect sticks in it and use it by our fire pit. Love the chest and people can be strange about taking photos. Laura
ReplyDeleteI would just Love a shop like that around here!!! Saw lots of fab ViNTaGe F*I*N*D*S...

Olive,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great chest. And it looks great in your cozy inviting bedroom. Also, your vintage linens from a recent post are terrific!
And the olive bucket? Never heard of an olive bucket, but now I want one. Oh well.
Have a great week!
I LOVE the bucket! I would have been crying if I couldn't take it home with me! It would be great for magazines, etc.
ReplyDeleteI always ask if I can take pictures and I get really embarrassed if I'm told no!! But what is with the guy and his eggplant?!!
XO,
Jane
Miserable so and so I would want to find out who the other bloggers are, they may be friends of yours :)
ReplyDeleteOlive, That lady would have said "no photos period," if she could see how well these turned out. LOL. I do not understand people...is everything a secret?:):) Smiles to you, Susie
ReplyDeleteThe first time I saw an olive bucket I was surprised by its size also. You'd think lugging around that many olives would be heavy.
ReplyDeleteGreat consignment shop, and your iphone pictures are terrific. I'm curious what she's asking for her olive bucket because someone sells them at an antique store here. Love to comparison shop!
ReplyDeleteMary Alice
$60.00 Mary Alice which is more than I want to pay.
DeleteI would love to have those creels!!!
ReplyDeleteI've only been turned down once for photos. I keep trying when I am there, though.
Would like to know the eggplant reasoning.;-)
I would love an olive bucket to Olive but I'm not willing to pay the asking price. Love your new aqua chest!! Enjoy your evening, Gail
ReplyDeleteOlive, this post makes me want to go shopping. I see so many things I would love to bring home with me. Love your chest and I see how you would love the olive bucket. Maybe you'll get lucky and go back and find it marked down. Great pics……..

loving your aqua chest......she should have given you the olive bucket since your blog features the name olive too...just saying..
ReplyDeleteMona
Love your aqua chest and I have never seen nor heard of a olive bucket but I sure do like it!! Thanks so much for sharing and have a great night!
ReplyDeleteAledia
The olive bucket is cool looking, hope it goes on clearance soon! Folks are just wiggy about the picture thing, I'll never forget the woman freaking out at HomeGoods of all places:@)
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to see where you are shopping and what you feature in your posts. Thanks for taking me along.
ReplyDeleteI had never even heard of olive buckets until Kim at Savvy Southern Style got one. Then I saw them in Pottery Barn or some catalog I get! Are they a new decorating item?
ReplyDeleteThey are really to collect olives in Europe but I could certainly use one to decorate with Carlene. They have that partly industrial look.
DeleteLots of fun goodies there...but I like the chest the best! It looks lovely in your room on the last post, too!
ReplyDeleteJust you wait my pretty. You'll find one at a price you can live with. They're fun pieces, but are showing up more and more. Patience my friend.
ReplyDeleteDeb
P.S. The chest is cool!
Where is this place?
ReplyDeleteLOVE the aqua chest! I have been searching for a dresser or chest for my folded clothing for about nine months.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
It's the typewriter that is catching my eye. Would love to own an old one just for a hallway display. Glad you got the chest your heart desired. That's always nice when that happens. :-)
ReplyDeleteI am glad to know what an olive bucket looks like. Like your chest too. Glad you shared this.
ReplyDeleteI feel your picture taking pain. Can you believe one lonely vendor at Brimfield told me "no pics". Hello? I am showcasing your fabulous stuff on my blog! Oh well, you managed to capture the beauty of that booth - and I too now want an olive bucket!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Clovis reminds me of my childhood cat - Casey O'Toole!

I love that second pictured vignette, Olive! The colors and all the display items, too. I know how strange people can be and I've taken to asking when I go into an antique mall here if it is okay if I take pictures. What's one more person taking pictures even if booth owners are bloggers ~ it is more publicity for them.
ReplyDeleteOne of those buckets is on my wish list (if I can find one at a good price). This looks like a great shop...glad you had photos to share!
ReplyDeleteMy sis and I were at the Alameda Antique Fair (best in the West) and they were $60 for one and $80 for two. We each got one! Yippee. Hers is next to her fireplace for wood and mine is by my front door with a shabby looking tree. I've always loved them! Great as a hanging light fixture also. Get one!
