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!

Molly Mo's Vintage Flea Market starts tomorrow at 8 AM!

So I managed to make it through the Plucky Maiden's Junk Fest on Thursday night, set up for Molly Mo's Antique Faire today, make a awesome Chinese chicken salad for a potlucks, get stung by a bee, clean up, facebook, and finally get to sit down all in a day's time. I'm pooped and I got to get up at 6:00am. I am really hoping you all bring some friends out to see me tomorrow.  The show opens at 8:00am.  There will be wonderful food, espresso drinks, tasty beverages, SUPER GREAT STUFF, and well me to. 

 Here is the Poster in case you have not jotted down the particulars...

I didn't manage to grab any pictures of my booth cause I finished it up in the dark tonight.  I guess you will all have wait in extreme anticipation...

I will grab some pictures at first light and post them here in the next couple days for those of you who can't make it to the show.

But for the rest of you...

I'll see you there!

OXOXO

Six Pence Puts on an AMAZing Vintage Market.

This Sunday Six Pence put on a wonderful Antique and Vintage Flea Market.  I was lucky enough to be invited into the show and had a blast being there.  Although I am still recovering!  My husband and I woke up at 3:30 in the morning and took off with our 8 year old to the show.  We arrived in the dark to set up our booth at 5:00 am.  No I didn't think to bring flash lights but I will keep this in mind for the Camas Street Faire in a couple weeks.  Usually waking up early isn't a problem being a gal that has to finish up all my loose ends I was working on stuff until 1:30am!  All in all we made it through the day and unpacked to go through stuff and repack more items for the next weekend. 

Mama Roost and I will be heading to Sublimity for the Molly Mo's Show on Saturday August 20th.   

Here are a couple pictures of my booth and a few of a project I finished today...

I scored some really great finds at the Six Pence show and junked all weekend for the upcoming show.

I bought this AMAZING old French style baby crib at the show this last weekend and today I did an upcycled project to it.  All materials used in this project were upcycled from other things.

Here is the finished settee perfect for the foot of your bed or wonderful in a quaint sun room

Yes I had to snap this picture of my french dog on the french settee.  She has some class doesn't she?

 

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

Roost Reimagined Summer Market Starts TOMORROW!

So all the vendors arrived today to set up.  It was an easy going day with little tasks here and there.  I finally finished up some last minute projects and tomorrow should be a blast! 

Here are several more sneak peaks of what my vendors did today...

Of course we had to bust out the wine bar and try it out.

 Works good too... lol
