Open for Business at The Roost + a Giveaway

Well ladies and a few gentleman, Vintage Junky is open for business!  My tiny little booth in The Roost is jammed full of stuff!  We crammed my mom's SUV full. And, unbelievably, I only came home with one small box of stuff that didn't fit.  We worked for a few hours to get everything just right.  I actually made sales of a few cuckoo clocks while I was unpacking.  Everything went pretty smoothly, with the exception of a few things... I broke another vendor's vase (I paid for it) a light bulb fell out and smashed on the floor, and Mr. Hughes had a swell time trying to get the shelf out of the top of the closet the booth is in.  We came prepared with a plan and a toolbox and everything priced beforehand.  So, without further ado... here is my booth!

I told you it was tiny.... and FULL!  Mr. Hughes made my sign.

My little display cabinet has already sold :(  I really loved it! Oh well, I can't keep it all...

This little medicine cabinet sold as well... this is something that I got a lot of response from when I made one for our laundry room, so I decided to make one for the booth.  And, in the background, the Jacqueline (named after my mom) 3 drawer chest that I worked on... I love the way it turned out.  I wish I had a photo of it by itself.

A Louis  (the Lulu!) chair with some stenciled pillows

The booth needed some light so I covered a naked lampshade with a coffee sack slipcover shade.

Some vintage flower pins

This is one of the items that I have been wanting to do for awhile.  Mr. Hughes helped, of course.  The little shield shapes have pegs that are made out of vintage organ pulls.  I love them!  I need to make some for myself and for my etsy shop.  Oh, and the background is blown up pages from a 1920s French Dry Goods Catalog.

These candles make the booth smell so yummy and they are wrapped in reproduction vintage French candle labels.

I love top hats and they made the perfect display for my new screen printed towels.  I am glad that the screen I had burned about 6 months ago is finally being used!

A few of the vintage items in the booth

We found a couple of concession trays from a ballpark that make excellent shelves.

And a cute little magnet board with button magnets

And, here I am afterwards... sweaty, tired, and very excited!

That was Friday.  Then, on Saturday I went to meet with a lady who owns a shop in downtown Franklin and she is going to carry some of my pillows and bags!  So, a very exciting weekend for me.

I want to thank you all for all your support of this blog and my little shop dreams.  So, to thank you, I would like to do a little giveaway this week...
