New upcycled creation...

So for a while now I have been creating some super great jewelry, and kitchen accessories from vintage spoons and knives.  It has always been the forks that have stumped me the most.  They definitely have the most going on with all those tines but I hadn't been able to come up with anything other than garden art or some sort of mini easel out of them.  So here is my newest take on the old vintage fork...

Napkin holder/ place card holder.

This was a fun 15min project that one should not do without the proper tools.  Although it looks easy it was more work than I originally thought.  Maybe due to lack of sleep too.

I have been running ragged this weekend and today working on last min projects and new items for the Deepwood Vintage Flea Market this upcoming Friday the 16th and Saturday the 17th.

Upcycled project for the Deepwood Vintage Flea Market

So as many know I am hosting the Deepwood Vintage Flea Market this year.  I was pondering over a theme that I haven't done yet for an event and came up with a sort of play off of Alice in Wonderland.  But knowing Roost Reimagined it has to be VINTAGE and it has to REIMAGINED.  So I went to work digging through the Historic Deepwood house and found these little pretties in the attic.

So although the flamingos DID fit in the garden and they DID fit into my theme they however DID NOT look all that cute.  So I set to work REIMAGINING them.  Here they are with a fresh coat of paint.

So I couldn't just let the poor things be bald could I?  So I went ahead and gave them some feathers.

So after adding the feathers I decided that they needed a little vintage bling.

 So I originally planned on all the flamingos being all the same so I only had 19 crowns.  I was expecting around 15-19 vendors for the show.  However I have around 30 vendors for this years show so I had to improvise. (Crowns are upcycled from UGLY cupcake toppers)

So here is what I came up with for the additional crowns. 

I used vintage lace that I glued in a circle with hot glue, then spray painted it with silver rattle can paint, then soaked it in Elmer's glue and coated the whole thing in silver glitter.  I think it almost turned out better then the original crown.  Now I have some variety and they are still super cute!

Here was my inspiration for this crown.  I found it on Pintrest.

Here they all are in all their upcycled glory!

I have several other projects but I may just have to save them for the event.  You'll have to come on out September 16th and 17th click here for more information.

New rack cards are on the way

So I have have been waiting on these rack cards for 3 weeks with this new company that I was referred to and well I am STILL waiting...  It's pretty bad when 3/4 of the information on the card is now invalid.  So I finally called the company, waited on hold for 26 minutes, (yes I am one of those who actually keeps track of how long things take) to get passed to another person, who passes me to a voicemail to someone on "lunch"  who calls me back a day later and tells me to re-send my images in another form.... Then tells me it will be another 2 weeks until they actually reach my house.  This is why I love Vista Print click download, pay, and they arrive on my doorstep within a week at the longest(granted more expensive then the competition)  They still actually make it. 

Here is my newest image for my brand new rack cards.  Guaranteed to be on my porch in 2 days!

Yes that is the abundance of corks that we have consumed at the Roost Events

(ok mixed with my personal stash too)

Excited to have them on the way...

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!
