Time Flies...


You know the saying..."Time Flies"...and in this case I took it literally :)


A bunch of vintage clocks, twiggy wreaths, shredded paper and cardboard wings.


I just drew the wings freehand and attached them with glue dots.  I didn't want to ruin the clock for a collector.


Little vintage dishes were the final touch to hold it all together.


Here they are all lined up at the Junk Market Under Glass show last weekend.  You can see more photos from our booth through the links below...

You might say I had a bit of a "wing thing" going...

Junk Market Under Glass...photo recap...Day Two...


Hello again :)
I'm still recovering here from last weekend's fun sale...I showed you pics from Day One yesterday.  If you missed it you can see that HERE.
We had a crazy fun first day...sold lots...so we reset, and dare I say I like Day Two better???  It's just a little bit more thinned out and a little bit less "hectic" so I can enjoy displaying a LOT more.  I'm still kind of a "newbie" when it comes to shows...and while displaying in my home is quite a passion for me...it opens up a whole new can of insecurities when you do it in a public space like that.  Can any of you relate??? 
So anyway...here's Day Two at JunkMarket Under Glass...

LOVE the addition of the green chairs with the pillows.  And the little trees in the file drawers :)

The gazebo in the middle was a fun focal point.  Our booth partner Larry from Country Junk made it using all salvaged materials.  It sold on the second day...and lucky for us they decided to wait to pick it up until after the show. 






My other booth buddy, Joan makes the amazing signs and pillows...this might be my favorite one EVER.  Wish I had a wall left to put it on at my house ;)

Of course there were a "few" wreaths.

The ladder got a new look too...don't you just love ladders?  One can never have too many.  The perfect junk show accessory ;)


Day three was crazy from the moment I stepped in the door...I never took another picture!!  But here's a photo Joan took of some of the shoppers and Larry's wife Cindy working hard :)

So there you have it...what a fun weekend!!  Did I say WOW???  I met and saw so many fun people...I don't think I'll try to mention all the names for fear I'll miss somebody!  But a big thanks to everyone who came out...let's do it all again next year OK?

Junk Market Under Glass, March 2012...a photo recap...day one...


Well, JunkMarket Under Glass is done for now...
And all I can say is WOW, WOW, WOW!!!
Such a perfect mix of style and creativity in one place...
Here are a few photos of our booth like I promised.  I'll keep the words to a minimum since frankly, I'm outta words.  Imagine that?  So here goes...

Day One...












On Thursday Sue Whitney of Junk Market Style did fun table setting on Twin Cities Live.  And she used a few pieces from our booth...


Isn't her table setting lovely?  LOVE those box side "chargers"...my Wine Springs made an appearance ;)

She added a little bit of moss to my rusty drill bit bouquet and turned them into a chairback masterpiece...LOVE :)

You can see the whole segment on Twin Cities Live...HERE :)

Well, that's some of the fun for day one...we sold lots and switched things up a bit for day two...so of course, I took more pictures.  I don't want to send you into "photo over load"...so I'll save day two for a separate post... 

Thanks  for stopping...
I hope you'll stop back for "Day Two" tomorrow :)

Just a Peek...Junk Market Under Glass, March Madness


So I think I "might" have told you I have a show coming up??? ;)
I'll give you just a little hint of a few of the things I've been working on...












Well, like I said...just a little peek.  We atart our set up tomorrow...and then I'll come home and work like a "crazy woman" all weekend and then we'll finish setting up on Wed.  Of course I'll show you pictures of our booth and more pictures of my individual projects...after the show when I've got my brains and my time back.
If you need more info on the Junk Market Under Glass show...you can find that HERE.
If you are anywhere near Long Lake, MN...you won't want to miss it!!  You can see a list of some of the amazing and talented vendors HERE.  Seriously...I can't wait to shop :)

Thanks for stopping!

"Angelic" Makeover...


So you might remember these...


The candle stick finials I made a while back...you can see that post HERE.

I just thought they were pretty little "set abouts"...and after carting them to 2 stores and a couple of shows...and selling one or two...I decided maybe they needed a new life, a change, a fresh start...been there :)


I roughly cut the wings out of cardboard...using my hands as a template...just like I did my Springy Angels.


Remember these?  If not...see more HERE.


I adjusted the pattern a little bit for the smaller ones.  If my kiddos would have been home I would have used their little hands...next time :)


Wrapped the base in twine...and added a little vintage sparkle.


The wings are just clipped on with little mini clothes pins in the back...simple and sweet I think.


And now these little "lovelies" are going to head out to one more show...

Wish them luck :)

JunkMarket Under Glass...March Madness Event!!


So here I am again...apologizing that I won't be "out and about" much for the next couple of weeks.  I need to use every spare minute to prepare this fun sale!!!  The September and January shows were so much fun...I can't wait to do it all again :)
(More info HERE)

I'll be sharing a booth with my friends from The Country Junk Sale and Signs of the Times again...only this time we'll have a double booth.  More room to spread out...and bring more junk!!


Larry (Country Junk) sent me this picture of the gazebo he made for our booth.  Fun huh?  Check out that galvanized roof...love!

So thanks again for understanding...
I'll try to drop in here and there to post some pictures as I'm preparing...

And if you are coming...be sure to introduce yourself...and Bliss...from Bliss Ranch...that means you too!! ;)
