End of Day 2 of the ABF

Hi.  Small print I know.  I feel a tab sad by my HUGE feelings of failure after yesterdays and todays festival.  I thought I would do so well.  I swear I had the cutest booth in the entire festival.  I was, what I thought, budget friendly priced.  I didn't see much sold except food.  I saw A LOT of people walking with food.  Okay, enough of the pity party.  Oh and I did hand out about 200 business cards to people that ASKED for them.  Maybe they are 'thinking' about their upcoming purchases.  A girl can be hopeful.

Hi again.  Thank you for listening/reading that pity party up there.  I have kept a very brave face on after being asked a million times how I did and I needed to share the baby pp before I erupted into a volcanic tear zone.  It helped.  Thanks again.

So, tomorrow I open my Etsy shop.  I am going to dive right in, right?  Right!  My things are "cute".  Everyone loves cute. 

Also tomorrow I am going to blog my craigslist military gun coffee tables.  I sold one yesterday at the festival that I painted old world white.  It was the first piece of furniture a college student bought for her new apartment.  She was super excited!!!!!  And loved it like me, so it was even cooler!  And a success, right?? 

I am off to eat dinner with my husband.  He cooked dinner for me, even after the 20 yells yesterday morning.  I am so blessed. 

Have a wonderful evening friends and I will catch you tomorrow!!

Our mini trip to Lake Lure in NC.  Ahh, I can not wait to go back there!!

Apple Butter Booth ...

What whirlwind month!!!

My first booth ever at the Apple Butter Festival.  AND now I know the true meaning of HARD work.  Kudos to each and every one of you that have ever done a booth.  For 2 hours this morning (on 3 hours of sleep), I swear I took my husband's head off 20 times.  Thank GOD he knows me and loves me. 

On a lighter note, my booth was/is stinking cute!!!!  Here is a taste of it and tomorrow I will post some more amazing pictures!!!  I know I am like a month behind posts, but it will be worth it in a few days to catch up with me!!  I sooo promise!!!

My booth, come in and sit with me for a bit!

Windows, windows and more windows!

Remember that Craigslist haul I had 2 months ago with the super cool military gun cases! Tada!!!

I will post more tomorrow, but this gives you a good idea of my wares, or in my case, SUNDRIES! 

Oh, and I sold weeds and this bush I have growing in my backyard.  Okay, so the weed is Sweet Annie and smells amazing, BUT also grows like a WEED!!!!  The bush is super neat.  After the fifth person asked me about it, I decided  needed to blog about it also!  So, this is it, the internet is grand!





Beautyberry Shrub or Callicarpa Bichotoma

 It is a totally awesome plant and looks great in a vase on the dining room table!  I think my friend Kelly should grow it because it was look lovely in her beautiful home!! 

Come see me tomorrow from 12 - 5 at the Apple Butter Festival!  I'll be back!!!!
