Home Sweet Home~

The days are getting hotter, you know what that means....summer is almost here! I can't believe that we will be living in this house for a year in July. Which brings me to the reason I'm doing this post. I still don't have anything on the walls. When we moved in we painted the walls Whole Wheat (Sherwin Williams paint) and I am afraid to damage the walls by putting holes all over them when I'm not sure what to put on them. I have this obsessive compulsive thing about putting holes in the walls.

Here are a few photos of what my living room and dining room look like without anything on the walls and a few special ones as well. So, I would really appreciate some advice on what to do.

I hope you enjoyed the pics and can't wait to hear what ideas you come up with.

Hugs to all!

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~

Featured Item~

I have been working with a local artist who has agreed to make these one of a kind seashell and sea glass crosses. They are made of unique shells that were once part of a seashell collection his father had. Each one is different, no two will be alike.

I will have these for sale in my booth at Warrenton in a few weeks.

You have to see these in person to appreciate~

Stop by and check them out!

Peace, Love and Blessings~
