And the winner is …
Will I win?
Will I trip on my way to the stage?
Will I have a trail of tp stuck to my shoe as I wave to my adoring fans?
What am I doing, you ask.
I’m in a pageant – and I’d love you to join me.
It’s for all of us gals (and the occasional guy who drops by) who deserve recognition for all of our fabulousness!
So go ahead and strut your stuff on the catwalk, break out your little (virtual) red bikini, twirl a baton or belt out a tune in the talent category.
Because I am awarding all of you who stop by and read my ramblings the
All That and a Bag of Chips award.
You see, if we don’t believe we are fabulous, who will?
So grasp that trophy by both handles,
raise it high over your head and
start your acceptance speech.
Special thanks for my fabulous vintage trophy collection goes to Sara of Simplify by Sara
I spotted these beauties on her blog and begged and groveled (ok, just asked) her to sell them to me.
Sara, please take a bow because you just won the
All That and a Big Bag of Barbecue Chips award!
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need my beauty rest if I’m going to keep
The Money Maker in tip top condition!
They look so beautiful! All shiny and pretty ,,, Thanks for the shout out, so happy that they are being enjoyed, and Uncle Joe would be too.
Was this whole collection Uncle Joe’s? A man with good taste indeed!
Pretty! These would be great filled with greenery.
Great idea – a fabulous centerpiece filled with greenery!
Awesome! You deserve a trophy for all the cool things you do. What’s a single single though??? Or is that not what the trophy has printed on it?? I love the tarnished metal, it looks so ancient!
Have a great day!
I was trying to figure out what a single single was myself! It’s a yacht club trophy – does that give any clues? Oh well, it’s cool anyway!!
I think you have far too many…and I have none…soooo…do the math! lol!
Can never have enough of these babies! Hope I don’t catch you breaking and entering!!
Oh my goodness, I didn’t even write a speech. I’m so surprised to have won. I need to start by thanking my fellow nominees. And, I have to ask, can I pick my flavor of chips? 🙂
What flavor chip goes best with beach-side margaritas?
well, sara does know how to simplify- sell you her collections! 🙂 LOVE the trophies! i won i won!!!!!!
Congrats – don’t let it go to your head!
I’ve always loved loving cups(the trophies with the handles) used in displays and vignettes. Yours are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
You’ve probably got dozens of lax trophies all over your house! (not the same, I know)!!
Which one of those is the Awesome Blogger award?
~Bliss~
That one is in the mail to you as we speak!
Cooooool…..
How did you know my talent was shuffle board in a red bikini? You are too funny! And I’m thinking that your “Impossibilities” challenge for 2013 may be cleaning out the basement … oh, wait, that was 2012!
🙂

I may had begged/groveled too! For that first one alone. It’s pretty freaking fabulous!!!! I love it.
Now, go rest your money maker 😉
i accept with a simple wave (like that would ever happen — my mouth never SHUTS UP : ) i love that collection — it is AWESOME!!!!! WOW!!!!! by the way — your kitchen should NEVER feel inferior — that place ROCKS!!!! sending hugs and wishes for sun for the girls of jersey!!!! hugs…
I like the chips, but I LOVE the trophies! Remember, I am looking for some JUST like that for my kitchen? I would buy them from you at a mark-up even!! C’mon, you could make a tidy little profit here! 😉 I know I’m the budget design girl, but I know splurge-worthy when I see it!!
Seriously AMAZING trophies!! What an awesome collection!
-And, um, I won’t be doing anything in a little red bikini without some kind of juice fast, and fat melting herbal spa wraps, followed by weeks and weeks of torture from the most chiseled, handsome personal trainer at the gym. (Whom I’ve gaze at from afar all starry eyed but have never spoken too, and after weeks of his relentless training methods, I will grow to LOATHE as he tries to get this 45 year old body bikini ready. Have I thought about this too much?) Maybe I should just do the baton thing…
Have a great day! 🙂

Gotta let me live with my finds before I can consider parting with them – but you never know!! Yes, I do think you’ve given way too much thought to your fantasy personal trainer – but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to train right along side you!
Thanks for making me laugh!!
Kelly
Haha!! Enjoy the trophies! I knew you wouldn’t part with them! They are perfect for you! SCORE!!
xo-Lisa
Ummmmmmmmmm….. NO YOU DIDN’T!
You deserve each and every one!

I think the moneymaker should take it on the road. And support you in your old age 🙂
You already know how much I adore your tropies!
🙂 me
How do you get all the good stuff! Love them!
I shove and push everyone out of my way!!
I tilt my crown to you and the trophies,too. I actually think the trophies should be awarded to those who comment on your blog. They are the most entertaining comments I have read. Sometimes I just come over to read the comment page!
I do believe I have the world’s best commenters too! I know I’m always in for a good laugh whenever I sit down to read them! Loved your comment so much, I shared it on my FB page!
thank you Kelly, thank you very much! “they love me, they really do love me”)!
We do Sally – I mean Debbie – we do!
I would like to thank my family for looking the other way and not saying a word when I bring home, yet one more piece of junk to “redoux”. I would like to thank all the people who cast off their unloved stuff and leave it for me. I would like to thank my car for not minding that there is no way it will be anywhere near parking in the garage this summer because my garage is so full of other people’s junk. And most of all, I would like to thank you for this fabulous post. I have a congratulatory golf cup to someone named Roger that I proudly display as part of my “junk” silver collection. I love old trophies too.
Feeling the love! We need a real awards ceremony – with gowns, a red carpet, 10 lb. gold trophies … That would be a great departure from our cluttered junk filled garages and paint splattered clothes!
oooo! Love these!
These are all so beautiful! Lucky girl!
What a beautiful collection! You deserve each and every single one 🙂
Perfect, just perfect! I can’t wait to see what you do with them!
xo Becca
What a great collection. Sooooo many possibilities for uses.

Angie @ Knick of Time

Kelly, this is so cute! I think the trophy collection is fabulous. What a buy! Totally in awe of W H Simpson’s trophy. ~ Sarah
Your begging and pleading paid dividends, what a fabulous Collection of Loving Cups these are… I’m green with envy in fact! *LOL* But I’ll still take my walk down the catwalk… Your Post made me smile and drool at the same time and I’m so glad I discovered your Blog!
Blessings from the Arizona Desert… Dawn… The Bohemian
Kelly, your trophy collection is fabulous. I am so jealous!
