First of all, I wanna say THANKS to the awesome people at Dollar Store Crafts for mentioning my blog on their Facebook page over the weekend! I would die without my Dollar Tree and am so happy to share my dollar store projects with some fellow crafters!! If you missed my post on “Country Themed Dollar Store Crafts”, see it here!
Well, it’s rainy and yucky here in WNY, but that’s okay because yesterday was absolutely gorgeous for moving my first load into my new space at the Carriage Place! They have a professional appraiser come in every other month, who happened to be there yesterday, and the place was buzzing! The boy scouts were there selling hot dogs, it was almost 60 degrees…. just a great spring day for antiquing!
I took a few pictures with my phone of what I have set up so far. Excuse the crappy photo quality, but I just HAD to share! 
It’s kinda bare right now, but my friend Christine is coming down next weekend to help me fill it in with all my little crafts and knick-knacks! For now I just wanted to get some of the bigger pieces in there.
I recently acquired a wonderful primitive lap desk (on the white table) which everyone was drooling over (including me)! Isn’t it frickin fabulous???
I thought these cute little tin flowers screamed SPRING! I am using my shutter shelf made by my step-dad for now until I get another shelf for the booth. It’s not for sale…I could never bare=e to part with it!!!
I put out a few wooden bunnies for Easter. I also got this little black trunk at a garage sale a few days ago. LOVE it!
I haven’t had much luck selling my signs at the craft shows, but I am hoping that they will do better here!
I put these signs up until I get the space filled with goodies!
It’s so much fun but a little nerve-racking at the same time. I met a lot of nice vendors who were encouraging and told me things looked great so far. Can’t wait to get in there this weekend and tinker around some more!!!
Have a great day everyone!

I remember my days of setting up a booth and walking away and worrying .. did I set it right? Will things sell? Will thy steal from me?
Your setup is very nice. I too love your tin flowers. Hubby built things for me to paint .. and country style furniture. Loved working with him and miss him dearly. I now work (?) in paper .. but don’t set booths or do shows.
It was really a good time for us. Enjoy!!
