Booth Talk

63 this morning, so pleasant. A bit cloudy now with a strong breeze.

I've worked at the antique mall a couple days lately, so when there are no customers in the store I have time to work on my booths. I've also been doing a little painting the past couple weeks so there are a few new pieces in the booths. Here's a look. 

This is my latest finished project. This one was fun to do. The veneer on top had to be removed because of water damage, but the wood under it was solid and fine.

Pale pink tea table. This one was wobbly as can be, but Larry soon put that right.

The credenza was dark walnut color, but sat in the booth with no one interested in it for months. So home it came for a coat of a pretty teal color. This is Dixie Belle chalk paint; we have a new vendor in the mall selling this paint, and I like it very much. The table above is also painted with Dixie Belle, but the checked table is my old favorite, General Finishes milk paint.

Another table with a water-damaged plant, this one from someone having a houseplant sitting on it. This paint is Dixie Belle's Kudzu color--don't you love that name?

This is the second of two plant stands Larry made with the leaves of a porcelain top table. The table's base was rotted away, so we used the main part of the top on one project, and the leaves to make these narrow stands.

Fall has certainly fallen in our area--and into our decor too.

Not much fall on this display though, just cottagecore, as they call the shabby chic look these days.

I've been thinning down my glass collection at home, as you can see here.

Some primitive items for the farmhouse/country style.

This little shelf was one of those "why did we bother" projects. A lot of time and effort to try to make this look better than a sow's ear, but I'm not sure we succeeded. Ah well.

Pyrex sales seem to have slowed down in our area. 

Sweet little tea cart, looking for a new home. 

Stuff and more stuff--sales continue to be strong and that makes me happy. I'm at work on two or three more pieces now, so hoping a few things sell so there will be room for them.
