Lake County Flea Market

This past Saturday, Mom and I were vendors at Lake County Flea Market.  The weather wasn't great, nor were the crowds, but the show must go on rain or shine.  We met tons of great people, both vendors and shoppers.  Here are some pictures.

 
Here is a view of our tent.  We threw this together without planning, so our displays weren't the best.

 
Letters are always a big seller. 

 
The nicest lady bought this table, along with the china cabinet, and some other smalls.  We were thrilled not to have to haul the large cabinet back home!

 
 
We sold lots of Marche and bird nest tags this weekend.  Vintage inspired crafts always do well at antique markets.

 

 
Our next antique market will be Elkhorn Antique Market in a couple of weeks.  Until then, we will have a sale this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.  Hope to see you there. 

Colorific

 Lately, we have been very excited about our recent painted pieces.  We have been using new paint, and lots of new colors.  We have even been tattering things much more than usual.  I don't have great pics of everything, but just wanted to share a few with you. 

 
This adorable little desk I picked up at a resale shop in McHenry, IL.  It just needed a little paint to give it a new life. It turned out really cute. 

 
This is the before picture of the next piece we did.  I picked this dresser up at an estate sale in town.  It was a great deal, but not the best color.  I did like the gold accents on it, which came through with a little sanding.

 
This picture doesn't do it's redo any justice, but trust me, it is adorable!  One of our all time favorite pieces in the shop! 

 
Can you tell we love grey?  Grey is very popular right now and we are loving it!  This dresser was sold at our last sale, and Anne and I are delivering it on Friday.

I just love this two piece cabinet with chicken wire doors.  It was a Craig's List find.   Well, there you have it, just a sampling of the new colors we have been using. 

We will be busy this weekend, and splitting up again.  Anne is off to an auction, and mom and I are doing Lake County Antique Market in Grayslake, IL.  Fingers are crossed that we don't get rained out!  Come out and see us.
