Come Junk With Us Ruffles and Rust Show

Just rolled into Salem at 12:30am this wet Sunday morning and I was so super excited about the Ruffles and Rust show pictures so I just had to jump on here and download them!

This event I have been planning for for a couple weeks now.  I usually have a theme for my booth spaces but the rest I kinda "wing it" and usually it turns out pretty good.  However I usually have my mom who is super patient helping me and letting me be my creative self along the way.  Well this show she couldn't make.  I pleaded with my husband to go with me and begrudgingly he said okay.  Well he is a Type A personality and has to plan every detail.  In accepting his help he wanted me to "map out" my booth so he knew exactly where everything was going to go.  So I begrudgingly did so took the pictures of the mock up booth and packed the trailer so it would all come out the way it was to be set out.  Me being the "wing it" thought this a little over the top but hey I'm not going to turn down free help.

Well little did I know while packing the trailer I was going to pull a rib out and not be able to breath, bend, or turn my neck!  I spent all of Thursday (day of departure) trying to get to a chiropractor and massage therapist and get the rib back in.  Long story short I went, they tried, no luck!  So all in all I'm glad I did all the pre-planning like my husband wanted because we set up in record time even with me at 1/2 caliber!

Here are a few pictures of my booth at the show.  I didn't really get a chance to get any other pictures of anyone else's booth.  But all the booths were really inspiring.  It was a amazing show and the Come Junk With Us hostesses were wonderful!

Follow up from the Molly Mo's Antique Faire

So I cannot say enough how wonderful all my Roost customers are...  You guys and gals are all so amazing!  I cannot tell you how much you guys truly inspire me.  I couldn't do what I do without your loyal support.  The Molly Mo's Show was so inspiring to be a part of.  There was an amazing amount of vendor talent, and  Dianne (owner of Molly Mo's) is the most gracious hostess, wonderful designer, great friend, and super mom.  She makes the whole show come together so flawlessly we just all stand back in awe.  I was so honored to be a part of it all.  So thank you all who came out to the show.  Here are a few of the pictures that I snapped of my booth.

The end of set up day before the show... sooo tired but sooo excited for the next day!

List of projects...

So it seems that this month is going to be an avalanche of events, loading, traveling, unloading, staging, packing, more traveling and squeeze in the occasional creating in the mid week time.  So here I am gearing up for this Sunday for the Lake Oswego Street Faire (for more info click here) and I get out my project list of things I want to create throughout the month of August.  These are GOALS mind you not actually have to be done things (that's what I tell myself anyway)  But I thought that I would share some with you and see what you think maybe I can scratch a few off my list to create.  Also as I was cleaning up from the show at the Roost Barn I was going over my new ideas for my "Black Autumn" sale that is in October ooooooh that's going to be a goooood show!

Here's a few pics of some of the things I am planning this month

This looks like an excellent way to use up grandma's old doilies in a new upcycled way

Well Roost is used to using these old pallets but I love this new twist.  This would go great with my wicker couch set!

We had 30 empty bottles of wine from last weekend's show I thought this was a great recycled project too tackle

So obviously I am a sucker for table runners but they are so great for entertaining so I think I'll knock out a couple of these but I might add some ruffles on the ends to add a touch of Roost to them.

I found some really plain lamps out junking this week and I was trying to figure out how to jazz them up.  Here's a great idea to run with.  I'll see how this pans out I'm not quite sold on it.

 This is a personal project that I have been contemplating for quite some time.  I found my basic materials to create this I have been just waiting to see if I change my mind.  I have ALWAYS wanted a pin tuck comforter or my favorite is the "circus" duvet cover from Anthro but being a JUNKER and upcycler I can't fork over the $$$$ for one of those covers.  So I am compromising with my wallet and time by making my own.  Here's the basic idea for what it will look like.

 and topped off with this skirt

Super Roost like!  I might be kidding myself with these projects but I'll make sure to keep you all updated
