Highlights from our first sale!


Wanna come to a sale?
 


  If you couldn't make it last week sit down, put your feet up & I'll show you what you missed.
 

 The sale was held in my driveway, porch & backyard. 
It was a little scary Thursday, but we had a plan.
 

And it started with turning our 'poo brown' garage door into an amazing backdrop.
 Drop cloths, a few yards of scrim & a $5 box of custom balloon valances became our Mistress of Junk theater.
 


Tadaa!
 


Not the greatest picture but the chandelier topped swing looked very cool.
 

 
 

This bare chair now resides in my front yard.
 




 
 There was really something for everyone. 
 

It took me months to collect enough clipboards for this vignette. 
 


I loved the way the fence turned out.
The 'vintage' letters came off my studio wall, they're covered in wool, (surprise, surprise). 
There was only one frame left, so now I'm hunting for more so I can recreate it.
 




 


We had a great guest vendor Kristi Hall, a few of her goodies stayed here with me.

 
Here we are, the mistress's of junk.
That's my awesome partner Jenn. Unfortunately she's not a blogger, just a great picker.
I'm the one with the squirrels on my head.
 
 
Here's our mascot Izzy, she licked every person who came whether they liked it or not.
 

I'd like to thank our friend & photographer extraordinaire Amanda Holcomb for the great pics on this post.
(the other ones are mine)
You can find her facebook page here....
& her website here.
 


Mark your calenders, our holiday sale is set for October 10 & 11!

Everything looks amazing especially your awesome garage theater and that wall of clip boards ( I didn't even manage to find a single one here so far), the swing with the wire lamp shades, the frames at the fence and your pretty white porch, all such great vignettes! I see so many things I would have wanted *sigh* That pretty china doll ~ I love it! I wish you would live closer!

  12. Lisa, the sale looks fabulous!!!! I had great plans to be there, but since I've been packing up my house for the last two months, I couldn't stand to bring more in. And, we were dealing with a dieing cat that took all of our energy.
    I can't miss the next sale!!

  14. Wow Lisa!! It looks amazing and hopefully you sold it ALL!! It looks like sooooooooooooo much work though and I am also questioning where you put it all before the sale? Hope you have a little time to rest up before you start preparing for the next sale. Looks like so much fun though.....the thrill of the hunt, but you don't have to keep it all. ha. Blessings, Linda
