My Booth In Warrenton~

I guess you can say I wasn't fully prepared for this show....I forgot my camera!  I had to borrow a camera from a friend late in the show....actually it was right before I was getting ready to leave.  So there won't be very many to show you.  I just wanted to share a few pics of my booth at the Spring Show in Warrenton.

Have a Lovely Sunday~

Make Plans~

To attend one of the best antique shows around....

Marburger Farms has some of the most talented dealers you can find.  I know because I'm so honored to know some of them.  For instance, you will get to see Shelley of Sweet Pea, Theresa of Time Worn Interiors, Judy Hill, Linda of Willow Nest, Donna of Curious Goods, Peg of French Vanilla, and new to the show this year is Lauri of 2 Chippys....the list goes on and on and I apoligize for not naming them all but once you arrive you will be in awe! 

So, I'll leave you to be inspired with these random pics of past shows.

See Ya There!!!!

Have a great weekend!

Pillow Talk~

On this Monday, the first day of March, I am happy to report that it is in the 70's here in Texas in my neck of the woods...just gorgeous!  I'm so hoping that this weather is a taste of what we will encounter in a few weeks for the Spring Show in Warrenton/RoundTop. 

I also wanted to give you a little "peek" into what you will encounter in my booth....these pillows that I made myself with love.  I've been sewing like a mad woman trying to make as many different designs for everyone's needs.  After having been separated from my sewing machine for a few years I got the urge to create and now I can't seem to stop! 

I have piles and piles all over the house...

All styles, All sizes....

Big, medium, small.....

So many to choose from....

No two are alike, so you will be getting a "one of a kind" pillow.  I can't wait to set-up shop!

   But wait! There will be lots more to show you in the next few weeks so stay tuned!

I hope this finds everyone having a glorious day!

Have a great Monday~

Warrenton and A Fall Giveaway~

Well, I'm back! Sorry for the delay in posting on the Warrenton Fall show but I decided to take some time off from blogging for awhile to re-coup. As you can imagine when you've been gone for 2 weeks straight things can get very busy around the house. As soon as I got back I had to catch up on all the cleaning, washing, etc. and of course spending time with my family. My daughter showed her pig at the County Fair this week and tonight is the auction. Many great things happening for her and I don't want to miss out on anything. She will be in high school next year and then off to college...where does the time go!

Aside from being almost washed away with all the rain this was a very interesting show. I'm sure that every dealer that was set-up in Warrenton and anyone else that attended the Fall Show for that matter has a story or two to tell about this show. I wanted to do something different to kick the Fall season off right. So, I'm doing a giveaway that involves everyone...not only if you were there or not...tell me your most interesting story during that 2 week span and I will pick my favorite and post about it and send you a gift.

How does that sound! Well...what are you waiting for?

Here's a few pics of my booth....and I do mean a few! I lost most of the pictures on my camera....don't ask me how...they're just gone!

Enjoy!

Can't wait to hear from everyone!

Fall Blessings

White Wednesday~

My White Wednesday consists of what I see when I visit other antique shops, shows, and open houses. I will features talents like Judy Hill, Joyce Shillings, Leftovers, and Past Time. It's always an inspiration to me when I can go back to the photos of such great design and incorporate them into my own home. May you be inspired today and everyday to go white.

Big Red Barn Show~

I had the pleasure of being a part of the Big Red Barn Show this past weekend with my friend Joyce Shillings of Joyce Shillings Antiques. She is a sweet and kind individual who has an amazing talent for making anything look wonderful! It was alot of work but so worth it! I learned so much from her in just the few days I was with her and also got to see many great vendors in the meantime.

If you have never been to the Big Red Barn you should try to make at least one of their shows...you won't be disappointed. The vendors that set-up there are so talented like Theresa Cano of Garden Antqs Vintage, Judy and Bill Hill of Judy Hill Designs, Peg and Jon of French Vanilla, Linda and Ludmil of Willow Nest, Carolyn Westbrook of Carolyn Westbrook Home, Leftovers, and of course my good friend Joyce Shillings. I met so many others but the names have left me at this time.

I will leave you with some pics of Joyce Shillings booth and some others.

A Few Close-Ups~

Things are still not back to normal for me but they're getting better. Doing a show of this magnitude is very exhausting for me anyway and I'm trying to recuperate from it all.

I just wanted to share a few more pics from my booth in Warrenton and also share some things I learned from this experience.

I picked this chicken coup up from a vendor when I landed in Warrenton...needless to say everyone wanted to buy it but it wasn't for sale. Actually, it's just an old crate with some hay, feathers and eggs!

These ceramic eggs sold very well...I was able to keep a few for myself.

Just a bunch of moss....

More eggs and moss on some white dessert plates...

My daughters jazz shoes...I was amazed that these sold right away.

I don't know if you can catch a glimpse of the pom pom garlands that I made...which were a huge hit BTW. They were part of my displays and I ended up selling them at the end. This was not my idea entirely...the ones I saw were made out of coffee filters and they tea stained them. I didn't have filters, so all I did was cut some circles out of old patterns and thread them with twine, and I didn't have to tea stain them either.

I made the birds nest for my displays also and they all sold as well...I guess I was a bird in another life.

Look at the wonderful old column I purchased from Theresa of Garden Antqs Vintage

Anther view of the pom pom garland....

This bird cage broke on me during the trip to Warrenton so I decided to use it on top of the wardrobe. Maybe I will fix it or not...

One of my displays with religious items...

These handmade crosses are gorgeous with the sea glass and shells...I still have some for sale.

A suitcase filled with crosses and candles.... A wonderful smelling candle that I picked up from one of the vendors in my field.

I believe it's called Creme Brulee'....it's heaven and it makes the customers stay a little longer to browse and buy. This candle was so powerful that people could smell it as they walked by my booth.

It's been a pleasure sharing with everyone...hope you enjoyed it!

Blessings~
