'Tis the Season

And speaking of Red: Since the holiday season is filled with this fabulous color, I decided to peruse the ELLEDecor website to see what they had to show about this passion-filled hue. And sure enough they had a whole section on designers and examples of the Happy Hue used in interior design. They also have another section where they discuss Red and how to use it called "Code Red". Take a look and be inspired!


Ode to Joy

Ode to Joy--I sold another chair. This time it's what I named "Royal Red", since the chair had a throne-like feel. So excited that people are enjoying my work. It's fun for me to refurbish these chairs--even more fun when I see someone else enjoy it, too! Besides, who can resist that lovely shade of royal red?

Oh, Joy!

Wow--more than two weeks since my last post. Well, two fun things: My sister-in-law and friend signed up to sell our handcrafted wares at the Rose Bowl Flea Market tomorrow. It's the first time there for all of us, so we are pretty excited at the possibilities. It's a HUGE event, a lot of foot traffic, and has a fabulous reputation for a variety of goodies, both old and new. So I've been sorting my stuff and getting it ready to pack up. I don't have a huge quantity of inventory, but a good amount to start--4 chairs and a couple tables, but since I can't fit it ALL in my car, I typically go with trying to sell the 4 chairs first. I took a break to check my email, and was surprised to have an Etsyy sale--of my Red Dahlia chair, which I was planning to take to the Rose Bowl. Well, one less thing to load in the car! Yay! I'm so excited--I've always gotten tons of compliments on it, but, alas, no one actually would buy it---until now, of course. So Yay again! Here it is:
