Here are just a few more photos of the booth I thought I would share. I went in today to take some more photos and found out that I sold 4 treasures! I was so excited, now I know I have a long way to go, but it still made me feel like I had made some progress!
Two of the sweetest treasures sold before I could snap photos, I will remember to be better next time and take my camera more often! I also need to get better at taking photos in the akward lighting, sorry about all the yellow glare....!
Stella made her debut and all the ladies love her pettie coat...I have had more comments on the pettie coat then anything else...lots of "oh I remember when I used to wear one of these..."
I love to tell them, that I still do wear one of those with some of my dresses, the ladies get the biggest kick out of that!
Of course Stella had to adorn her own set of wings and I think it will be fun to see how many different ways I can doll her up!
Who can pass up little wings, tied to two vintage bibles {another obsession} and an old book?
The vintage mod 1960's tables were a gamble, but I think they could be very cool with the right decor....and I honestly love the vintage yellow color!
I am obsessed with butterflies and thought this old lampshade with swarms of butterflies would make a cute mobile above a vintage crib!
A couple vintage brownie cameras and old scales....I also folded a bunch of pages in some old books I had stashed away, I like the texture they bring to the table...
This is another lampshade, I love the shape and think it would be cool to somehow wire this for a single light bulb....perhaps a project for the pool man!
This dresser is really old, it has original casters and pretty lines. This was my first attempt at using Annie Sloan Chalk paint and I have to say I love it~
I also painted a pretty swirly pattern in grey on the top of the dresser and sanded it way down to give it a worn in feel. I think it compliments the sweet baby shoes pretty well...
I also think I need a little girl! {she grins...}
Well that's all folks, I have a lot more treasures to add to the booth. There are still two boxes sitting in the garage to unload, but I didn't want to clutter it up too much!
Thanks for stopping in, I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
I am off to rest my weary feet and get some beauty sleep...as I have an 8:00 am haircut I am in desparate need of!
Ta Ta for now~
p.s. I also found one my most favorite antiques a few weeks back that I hope to snap photos of as well and share with y'all....she needs some work, but fits perfectly into our nest! prrrrr......
Tara~ it looks great! I love it all and it is like an extension of you!
Don't forget to start listing on etsy! *wink*

I love every last detail, but my favorite is definitely your white dresser with the swirl. So clever! I'm gearing up now to open a space in the spring, so seeing your gorgeous booth has me pumped up!

Wish I lived in California so I could visit your little spot. Everything you do is so appealing. Would love to know if you have a pattern for the swirly on the dresser. Love that little detail. Have a great weekend.

that dresser & the way you painted it ~ beautiful. and all of your finds from the cute baby shoes to the clever mobile...clearly i haven't found the right thrift stores & antique shops to stalk around the parts.
