This upcoming Saturday is the Flea Market at Art Angels in Orlando, go over to Suebee and the Butterflies for details because she will be there with her spectacular booth (along with Kathy aka Southern Charm).
I had a lot of things left over from the wedding decorations as well as things that have accumulated around Boston Manor over the years. My friend, CG, said she would like to share a booth with me, so we are in!
I've been working on some painted projects. You may remember this little secretary desk.
I painted it and it looked a little too perfect,
so I took a page from Suebee and Kathy's book and fired up my sander and gave this sweet little desk an aged look.
Thank goodness for the electric sander because my fingers would have been down to nubs without it. Still have to finish it off with wax, so my fingers have some work ahead of them yet.
Also painted and distressed my little thrift shop stool and covered the seat with some of that found burlap. I actually distressed the stool a little more after this picture was taken. It looks quite nice along with the desk. Maybe they will go together to a new home.
My dining room table is covered with, well, everything for the sale too.
If you look closely at the mirror you will see I still haven't erased the writing from the wedding reception. I'm in denial the fun is over!
An old traincase, 1940s thermos, glassware.... of course, another white frame. Lots of those still. Want some? Stop by next Saturday!
And I have these pretty green-bottomed glasses along with a 1960s relish tray.
Old dictionaries... suitcase in the background.
An old type-setter's drawer...
My table top swivel mirror turned chalkboard...
I won't be too broken up if this doesn't sell - I want it! But if you do too, I will step away...
Lots more on top of the refrigerator!
Just a little peek.
CG and I have our work cut out for us this week. Pricing, hauling the stuff, setting up, staging and PLEASE! ...selling some!
Wish us luck and stay tuned...
