Booth Day

Forgot to look at the temperature this morning, but we started off a bit cooler, and cloudy. A few tiny sprinkles of rain, and that was it. Not even enough to turn on the windshield wipers. 

We went to our booths today with a van loaded with totes, the mantel I have been working on, and a small bookshelf I painted last week. I only took photos at one location,  though; we need to go back next week to add Fall decor so I can get more then. We will probably go Tuesday, as we have another planned power outage in our area then. These are getting kinda old-- we seem to be having them every other week.

So here's a look at some of what our booths in Ravenswood look like now.

This is the mantle we brought in. It is pretty "rustic". It was apparent that it had a rough former life and has many dings, nail holes, etc. I decided paint was the best option as we had some wood repair to do.

On the mantle. Getting that Halloween vibe going. I know, I know, it is too early! I think so too, but apparently shoppers don't agree.

I have had this buffet for sale for at least 2 years. Everyone loves it but no one buys it. I decided to set it up as a bar, since it has a slate top. At $150, you would think it would sell, but here it still is.

We sold a flatware kitchen cabinet that was in this booth, but it wasn't difficult to fill the space!

This is kind of a cool picture. It is my window display, with the buildings across the street and the sky reflections. Oh, and me-- just saw that.

A few of the things we have outside:

While uploading these, I realized that I took no photos at all of one booth, but then we didn't change much in there.

It was good to get the window changed out. That is always a big job, so we were there early, before it got too hot to get in there. No fun working behind a big plate glass window in the sun.

Now, tomorrow's work:

Tomato juice is the plan. And a large limb broke from our old yellow apple tree, with about a 5 gallon bucket of apples on it, so I guess we will be doing applesauce too. Our friend with the high tunnels of tomatoes also let us know we can come and pick on Monday.  Obviously we don't need any, because we also have these ripening,

,

and many more on the vines,but my young friend does, so we will get some for her. Then Tuesday back to the booths, and one day this week I will probably be helping my friend who is moving, the grapes need to be picked and juiced... and so it goes. 

Have a great weekend!
