...and boy am I gonna be busy! Laurie (my sister-in-law and partner in craftish crimes) have signed up for the first ever huge Craft Fair/Flea Market which will be held at Dodger Stadium on July 18, 2010. I think it's the promoters goal to have it rival in size to the famous Rose Bowl Flea Market (which is like the Disneyland of flea markets). We are so excited to have the opportunity to sell our items; however, naturally, we are scrambling to make sure we have enough inventory, should our items charm the masses (crossing fingers). Decorating enough trinket and jewelry boxes doesn't have me worried, nor does having my jewelry--I want to make sure I have plenty of my unique repurposed hand-painted furniture on hand. I love revamping the furniture, but I certainly don't get to dedicate the blocks of time it takes to complete a piece. Ideally, I'd have a piece done in 2 or 3 days, maximum. But, alas, it usually takes me weeks.
Right now I have a fun vision of taking a high-backed wooden chair, with low arms and rattan caning on the back from a drab old ivory (nothing wrong with ivory, it's just that this one was well-worn), to a fabulous deep crimson--a color that I want to "pull" from a beautiful and bold
Anna Maria Horner fabric (from her Garden Party line) called "Guest of Honor" (scroll down when you get to the page to see the whole line):
I have high hopes for the outcome of this chair! I'll be sure to post photos of before & after as soon as possible. In the meantime, please keep Laurie & I in your "lucky penny" thoughts (aka as "good wishes") for creating a successful inventory, and, well selling it all!
