The Booth is Open!

Yesterday was the day!!  Opening day!! 

I enjoyed setting up my "wall" so much.

I took Doodle with me to sign the contract and show her the booth.  Standing in front of my new wall, the conversation went like this...

Doodle - "So, you aren't getting one of these big ones, you just get this wall with holes?"

Me - "Yes, for now.  I might get a bigger, open booth down the road."

Doodle - "Hmmmm."

On the way home....

Me - "I'm going to come back later to set everything up and decorate my booth."

Doodle - "It's not a booth...it's a wall."

So much for support from my kid. LOL  

So.....being the smarta$$ I am (wonder where my kid gets it, LOL), I am now referring to my wall booth with grandiose terms such as "My Boutique", "My Shop", "My Storefront", etc. :)

These are not the greatest pictures, I had to use flash and it was closing time,  oh yeah, and there's the fact that I don't take the best pictures under normal conditions. LOL  But I was able to snap some pictures really quick to show you.

I was not loving the red when I agreed to this space.  I figured I would ask if I could paint it in a month or two....but for now, I'm kind of liking it.

I need to cover that wonderful, plastic opening at the bottom.  I'm thinking some burlap or something along those lines...a curtain anyway.

And I'm going to make a burlap pennant to hang at the very top of the "wall" to give it some texture and fill in that space.

Some of the items I have for sale are leftovers from my last craft show...which, oh yeah, was EVERYTHING. LOL  

Some of them are things I used to use in my own home.  And many others are my creations or upcycles.

I used old barn wood my friend gave me for my shelves.  And I painted some old Goodwill shelves.  And like this one, I added trim and embellishments.

I upcycled things like this small cabinet....which someday I will show you the before, but I'm working on my brand new laptop today and am too lazy to get didn't have access to my old pictures for this post.

 I started from unfinished wood on pieces like these little boxes.

Painted old ugly brass lamps to make cute new lamps.

Assembled and painted wood picture/recipe holders.

And glued and painted other upcycled Goodwill finds.

Just a reminder, for any locals.  My new "boutique" is at:

County Line Emporium

1285 N. State Rd 135

Greenwood, IN 46143

I'm so stinkin' excited about this opportunity, I think I've got a perma-smile on! :)

And thank you so much to all you and your support!!  Without some of you, I probably never would have built up the courage to make this step!!!
