honestly, i just searched google for info on storing (organizing) "junk" until you plan to refurbish it. no, i didn't get far. googles definition of "junk" is waaaaaayyyyy different than mine. lol
i have sooooo many possible fabulous pieces but it's getting over whelming to look at it cluttered here and there EVER.SINGLE.DAY. sigh. if anyone has any enlightening ideas, i would love to hear them. :)
until then.....
while i procrastinate on my bigger projects i will share some great finds i ran across this evening while shopping my local thrift shop.
for just over $10 i scored this!
SIX new handles, sure they were of the rustic brass variety but that can easily be changed with a little Rust oleum paint. they were $2.55 for them all. score! :)
this cream colored urn type piece is from Home Interiors and was $2.55 also! there are a few minor blemishes but nothing a little Rust Oleum can't fix. :) i didn't get a close up of the blue-ish piece there in the background but it's a fun piece too that i can't wait to paint.
these two pedestal type lidded dishes are unique. i can't quite tell if they are just handmade but i am going to re-secure them together (as the pieces are lose and coming apart...if you can see there is clear tape on them) and give them some color. at a buck and a half...i couldn't pass them up!
this tray...i had to pick up because i have a tissue type box that pretty much matches this. they actually had two of them but i just picked up one. i want to sell this as a set with my tissue box. i'm not sure what is going on with the bottom paper, it's got a dripped ink look and i'm going to guess that someone put that in more recently then when it was purchased.
thanks for sharing in my excitement, i will share the "afters" soon.
have a creative day!
it wasn't the busiest of days but i was pleased with the final outcome. would have liked to have moved a couple more larger pieces but they will sell in due time. had many, many comments on my checker table but no sales...yet! :)
that is fine as i do have a few more design ideas to add to it. :)
many people commented on this chair and looked it over but it didn't find a new home either. i understand that it's unqiue design would make it a little more of a selective piece so i am hoping that right customer comes along.
gearing up for another market come November. in the mean time i have photo shoots, a baby shower and halloween costumes to get all figured out and dealt with. :)
was a great success! loved the spot we were given, great people came through...always love chatting with friendly people! :) i was barely able to grab a few shots of our booth before the doors opened. things aren't quite in their places at this moment but you can see the basics of what we had to work with. so wish we could have used the wall for items but there is a "no nail attachement" rule in this building. boo. at any rate, by the close of the first day we had to randomly place things so it didn't look so bare. a little frustrating for the decorator in me but a huge plus for the profit/accomplishment part. :)
fond a few things to add in for tomorrow. hope it's another great day and turn out!
