But that's not all...Yours Truly put her big girl panties on and GOT A BOOTH THERE!!!!!!
omg!omg!omg! What was I thinking?!!!
(Deep breath)
Ok, first of all, I'm not all by myself in this. There are three other very talented and creative ladies sharing the booth.
It all happened so fast! On Thursday my friend, Stacy, called and told me about the new antique mall , The Brass Armadillo,that opened up near us, and she wanted to know if I was interested in sharing a booth there. Uhm...heck yeah! We went and looked, picked a booth, and on Friday we signed for it...Her mom, and another friend who has done this kind of thing before, is renting it with us.
Today I started working on a few outstanding projects, to stock our booth.
I bought this little pine cabinet like this...
I sanded a little, and took the panels out of the doors. (it looked like a previous owner added them later, anyway)
I used my homemade version of chalk paint, painting the body in a Aqua color and the door and shelves in white.
Then came the sanding, distressing,and glazing.
And of course some chicken wire to fill the openings in the door...
Hopefully it looks like a really old piece from an old farmhouse or something.
I think I would have bought it if I saw it in an antique mall, wouldn't you?
If you live in Phoenix, come stop by the Brass Armadillo in Goodyear!
You won't be disappointed!
Bye for now!
