Moving Into A Booth

First of all…I didn’t mean my last post to be a plea for praise, but I want to thank all of you for the kind words, cheerleading, and a huge boost.  You are an incredible bunch and I thank each of you for taking the time to type something to encourage me, someone who most of you have never met.  The blog world is awesome!
After a long day, the booth is full and all snug for the night and we’re pooped. 
I love the way everything came together under the tent and I can’t wait to decorate and play tomorrow. 
We took time to shoot some video footage to share on the blog soon, so those of you who can’t be there can still see all of the action. 
I’m really tired and fried AND I have a 5:00 am wake-up time, so I’m just going to let you enjoy the pictures and I’ll share more tomorrow.
Thanks for all of your prayers for sunny skies…it looks like the weather is going to be perfect. 
God is so good.

  3. It all looks wonderful. That lampshade is fantastic.

    I pray a wonderful, restful night's sleep tonight and a day tomorrow full of abundant blessings. May you be a light that shines to everyone who comes into your booth tomorrow.

  4. I've seen a booth like this before….in my dreams!!! You are a genius and although I am fairly new to reading your blog (I'm not new to flea markets and I have never seen anything so awesome), I think I have a crush on you (ha ha). Not a scary freaky kind of crush, but a "I would buy anything you make" kind of crush. Great job and good luck! I'll be surprised if you come back with anything at all 🙂

  5. I will see you in less than 12 hours!!! And call me a crazy weirdo but I see some of the price tags and I am LOVING what I am seeing!!!! Maybe I will buy everything!!! Can't wait to meet you and buy your stuff!!! hehe

  6. Best of luck! I know that if I were there I'd be spending lots of time in your booth – everything is so well-done. Looking forward to the video.

  7. Oh how I wish I could be there!! But just a little long of a trip from Alabama.

    I've seen your blog around on other blogs I follow and finally checked you out. WONDERFUL!!! Wish I had done it sooner.

    Have a great show!

    Joyfully,
    Elizabeth Ann

  8. I know you are tired, but pumped up too!!! Everything looks beautiful. I pray for beautiful weather both days and I hope that you have an amazing show. Can't wait to see the video. Love & blessings from NC!

  9. Your pics look great! All of your hard work in one must give you a really satisfied feeling!
    Wish you luck, loads of customers and more than anything a lot of FUN!!
