It wasn't really the setting up that was overwhelming, as much as the preparation and constant evaluation of what I needed to do, what I was missing...all the final odds and ends. (Plus, Emme's 1st birthday was Sunday) I live about an hour from the store, so I couldn't "run home" for anything I'd missed.
(Here's my space after I'd hung some muslin, which I miscalculated the amount so I had to cheat. Don't you love the pink dresser-yum!)
My space is 10'x9'...everything to the left of my luscious pink dresser (that's how I bought it at the barn sale, I just cleaned it up and my assistant husband steadied it up a bit.) and gray island is the next booth.
Can you believe my dad got the white medicine cabinet for free and almost burned it? I just cleaned it up A LOT, but the mirror looks original. The blue drawers, black chest and bookcase are the right boundary of my booth...so no, the hats are not mine. You'll probably notice a lot of things I've never posted about before...things were pretty crazy over the past several days and my picture taking suffered. I'm planning to do some upcoming posts about some items, but let me know if you have questions about anything you see.
The 'animal chair" in the left corner is also from the barn sale on Friday.
I have "before" pictures of the island that I'll share soon.
Signs I made from reclaimed barn wood.
This is made from 4 dresser drawers, I'll show "befores" of this soon too.
You can see some of the stuff across the aisle from mine in the mirror...it matches my style. I also made my 1st chalkboards! It's the cornerstone of any crafter development!
Some of the other dealers were there talking to me while I took these pictures, or else I would have gotten better detail shots. After we left, I realized I hadn't really even looked at the final product and had to look at the pictures. It still doesn't seem real to me, but I feel like I used to after final exams in college. I wish I could sleep for the next 72 hours like I did back then too!!
I hope you enjoyed the tour of my little space. Like I said, I have a lot of items nestled in here that I plan on sharing more specifics on soon. Now I must go put the mess of my house back together after this little whirlwind!
I welcome any suggestions on any changes you think I should make! People were watching me, which makes me a little antsy, so I just plopped stuff down with little thought.
