This was the last day my mom was here. I dropped her off at the airport after our last busy day together. We really packed a lot of work into five days. Tonight, I’m crashing. I’m tired. Exhausted. Done.
I just finished editing photos I took today of my booth at Wild Rose. Beneath my heavy eyes and fuzzy brain I feel satisfaction. Even joy. I love what I do.
I worked hard this weekend and I had a lot of things to take to my space. It was over-flowing. The cherry on top was the beautiful stuff Jami from Freckled Laundry delivered over the weekend (like the gourmet suet cake pictured above.)
The antique Empire table I refinished is the centerpiece and it provides a perfect place to display some of Jami’s shoes and suet cakes.
I painted this side table over the weekend as well.
Today, it was fun seeing it all come together. Enjoying the fruits of my labor.
…and Jami’s stuff looks right at home. Down to the tags tied on with hemp twine.
I arranged her little handmade shoes on a silver platter.
I absolutely love, love her clay tags. I meant to grab a few for myself, but the toddler-time-bomb was going off and I needed to rush out of the store.
If you love Jami’s work, you can buy it at Wild Rose in Walkersville, MD or from the Freckled Laundry Etsy Shop.
Now, I’m off to enjoy the fruits of a soft bed, comfy jammies, and a good night sleep.
By the way, check out my Tips for Shopping Craigs List, which was featured over at The Design File.

Great job on the empire table and you are right it is the perfect place to display Jami's baked and handmade goodies. Speaking of which those are the most darling baby shoes I have ever seen.

You cracked me up with "toddler time-bomb"!! Soooo true! Everything looks great Marian! Time to settle down for five minutes and catch your breath before the next wave *winks* Vanna
Um. Could you be any sweeter?! Thank you so much for so beautifully showing my little wares, Marian. I am about to embark on some copyright infringement & steal some photos. Haha! (Kidding.) That wide angle lense & your eye are a match made in heaven. Your area of the shop looks so different from last week and is loaded with more gorgeousness. "Toddler Time Bomb"…perfect description!
Thank you again,
Jami
Your space looks beautiful, Marian. Jami's items are lovely and she is such a sweetheart. I'm glad you enjoyed your time with your mother visting. It sounds like you were on the go non-stop. I hope you get a little R & R!
You and your Mom accomplished so much! She sounds a lot like my Mom–a great motivator and "get it done" gal.
The spaces look fabulous and I know you've got to be so pleased.
I received my Pieree Deux catalog today. There is a dining room in there that had the MMS look…so pretty.
Keep up all the great work Marian!
Hugs,
Cori
