Catching Up!

The antique and craft show I did on Saturday was a big success!! And I must admit, I'm glad it's over! Now to try and catch up around the house!! Sold almost all my vintage Halloween, the shutters and the lamp.
Also sold the pretty rosary, the pictures and the white ironstone vitamin jar.

It was fun setting up for this show! I love working with the darker fall tones and Halloween stuff!

My altered suitcase was the perfect backdrop for this display. I sold several of my button bracelets...

and my clock case that I sprayed black and added a little baby boo pumpkin!
The biggest sellers were...

my necklaces--YAAAAAYY!!!
I sold at least 10 of them!

and some of my bracelets.

and tons of my photo holder doorknobs!!!

It is so gratifying to sell things that you've made...it justifies all the long nights and makes being so wore out worthwhile!!


I got my living room cleaned today and all my Halloween stuff out! That was fun! Now to take my kitchen clean-out project head on!! We will be embarking on a total remodel project real soon. My cabinets are ordered and will be here within a week. As soon as my contractor can get started, we'll be living in a mess for awhile. I have lots to do first. Cupboards to clean out and wallpaper border to take off!! Makes me kinda nuts thinking about it, but it will all be worth it in the end!

Just wanted to mention that if there is anything in any of the pictures from my show that you would be interested in, don't be afraid to ask...it might still be available!

Hope everyone has a good week!

What I've Been Up To!

I have been busy creating in preparation for an antique and craft show that I'm participating in this Sat.~Oct. 16th. This is the 12th year I've done this show and it has always been a pretty good one. It's well known for it's outstanding craft vendors and primitive antiques. I will be bringing a little of both.

I've been having fun with these Halloween collages using vintage elements. The one above has an old photo of little kids in their Halloween costumes heading out to go trick or treating!

Painted this little wheelbarrow black and then hand-painted a fun fall greeting!

Will also be bringing all the vintage Halloween I recently purchased and stashed away!


This little toy typewriter has all the perfect colors for a fall/Halloween display!

I have these grungy, black trees for sale at my space at the Red Rooster and am using one of them to display my hand-made junk jewelry!

I have been really enjoying creating these pieces with vintage elements like keys, buttons, clock parts and broken pieces of old costume jewelry!

The possibilities are endless!!!


If anyone is in the Menominee Falls, WI area this coming Sat. the 16th come and check out this great show! A Community Affair is run by a volunteer organization that raises money for various community projects and charities! It is their biggest fund raiser of the year!
Go here for further information.

Hope to see you there!!!

P.S. The food at this show (especially the desserts) is divine!!
