Whites for the Flea Market

Until I do the flea market at the end of August it is pretty much all that I think about. 

 What needs to be painted?  What still needs upholstering?  Do I have enough tags?  Are my business card tags ready?  When do I get my new printer?  Can I pick up my new sewing machine yet?  How do I work these machines?  Am I ready to start Etsy yet?  Lots, and lots yet to do.

Oh, and is it time for the beach YET? 

I have actually done quite a bit in between all of my normal daily goings on.  Do you remember this dresser?  Yellow, you may remember it is my least favorite color.

Well it's not yellow anymore!

Happy dresser, no more nasty yellow.

How about this bench, do you recall that tapestry top?

It has a good body but the top has to go.

Now this is not my normal colors but I plan on having a display for Fall/Halloween and this will be perfect.  Hey if it doesn't sell I can always redo the seat again.

Rocker before

and

after.

I painted the frame and mirror white too.

Even the baseballs are going to be displayed in a bowl for sale.

These are only a few of the many treasures I will be selling at the flea market, to see more visit my new shop blog here.

I am joining Kathleen from Faded Charm for White Wednesday.

What have you painted WHITE lately?

One Door Closes another Opens

I am closing down my former shop blog Clara Louise's Painted Cottage and switching over to Arbor House Lane Shop.  Goodbye my friend, I enjoyed all the time together.   Stop by and see some of the treasures that I have already priced up.  I should have more pictures by the middle of the week, maybe some white ones for my favorite day.

I am busy this weekend tagging and pricing all of the treasures for the flea market.

As soon as I get that done I can work on painting, painting and more painting.  Why the mad rush when I have until the end of the month you ask.  I have a vaccation planned for the middle of the month and I will not have much time before the market to get prepared.  I am hoping not to do a flea market for a long time and I want to SELL it ALL!

Thank you for all the wonderful responses to my candles and tags.  I have fun making them and I am happiest when creating, either for myself or to sell.  I hope everyone has a wonderful week.  I have to get some yard work done before it rains.  The work never stops, but then again I am not a restful sort.
