Shabby Chic Vintage Fair Trophies


The County Fair is in full swing here in Eastern New Mexico and the State Fair will begin in a few weeks.  Just for fun,   I wanted to add a few Fair touches to the existing decor in the kitchen.     I had picked up some vintage trophies at yard sales this summer .......cheap....and wanted to use them in  my vignettes.     The trophy in the photo above is an Oklahoma three chicken derby trophy...whatever that is...lol!


2001 Grand Champion Gelding


This is how the trophies looked before I  gave them their shabby makeover.....


Here's my County Livestock Barn vignette.......


The trophy above is a 2000 Open Junior Horse Show award.....


I added a pink ribbon to my vignette.....


This side of the kitchen is for the County Fair roosters and chickens.


The ribbons and trophies can be easily removed from the vignettes when the Fairs are over.....


My roses won blue ribbons....lol!


I haven't decorated for the Fair in years past,  but I am really enjoying my County Fair Kitchen decor and will probably decorate this way in years to come.


If you missed the Fair vignettes on the other kitchen counters....click here to be directed to that post....http://penny-pennystreasures.blogspot.com/2016/08/county-fair-kitchen.html

  1. I love all the little extra touches you add to your found treasures to give them that shabby chic Penny look! Everything is so cute. Love how you transformed the trophies with just a bit of fabric or maybe it's paper but either way they look great.

  2. Penny,
    Your transformation of those trophies is simply amazing!! I never would have thought of it in a million years!! I have been busy giving the house a "good" cleaning. Since I am stuck in the house because of heat and awful humidity ( close to what the tropics have according to the weather guys), I figure it is an opportunity to do some serious cleaning before I start to decorate for Fall. I am SO looking forward to Fall!!
    Hugs,

  6. I love the revamped trophies Penny! I found a box full of horse trophies a few years ago at a friends home and used the tops in bales of hay for my Kentucky Derby tablescape. I think a have a few full trophies left over and will cover for my Derby decorations next year. Thanks for sharing the fabulous idea!
