"Behind the scenes"... You really learn to have an appreciation for what dealers go through show after show "loading... unloading"... WHAT A WORK-OUT!*!*! I was over-joyed to learn that this particular show had a variety of CARTS for our use...
My booth space was quite large, and with my "smaller-sized" vehicle, it was quite a challenge to fill it all...
The Industrial Laundry Cart & Shabby Metal Trunk are Still Available... I only had them For SaLe on Saturday... "AGain, small vehicle Issues required me to take them home Saturday Night... I'm now saving then for a Show Closer to Home... AND I'm working on a BIGGER MOBILE COME SPRING!!!
This OWL was just toooo cute!!!
Working on the set-up...
I was surprised this pair of "Golden Doves" did not sell... What a Fab Centerpiece for a table or buffet... I'll be bringing these pretties to my next show - this weekend in MORRIS, ILLINOIS
The green bench and planter sold right away...
ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! Booth, full view from across the isle...
Every Show has it's casualties... When I arrived in the morning, this lovely "cast-iron" piece of mine had fallen over and a big corner broke off... It still SOLD!!! I'm sure she'll easily camouflage it with some greens on the corner... Another casualty - broke off the brass arm of a chandelier after a quick "step-on-the-brakes"... To the repair shop it goes!!!
This shabby fluffy bird "flew it's roost" later on in the show and returned to a "birdcage"...
I bought this industrial chair at the show... I may end up keeping it... AwEsoMe!!!
Although this turkey centerpiece was not very old, I thought it would make a great display piece for the THANKSGIVING DESSERT TABLE!!! ~ Still Available - bringing to the 3 French Hens Show this weekend...
Diane was my neighbor to the east... Wish I had gotten pics of her booth when it was finally all set up - OVER-THE-TOP AmAziNg!!! Lots of industrial with just the right holiday adornments...
I was just thrilled to "see" who my neighbors were to the south!!! Mother and daughter team - Lenni & Ericka... I first spotted then selling at Elkhorn this past fall.. Just recently they have started a blog:
AND - check out pics of their booth on my site from Elkhorn!!!
This young couple from Indiana do such a wonderful job!!! I first discovered them at Kane County Flea Market this past summer... They were located within eye-site of my booth at Grayslake this weekend... "Hot House Market" (click for blog) (sorry for the blurry pic - way toooo much coffee???)
Georgeann had such a sweet vignette set up...
YES!!! ~ These were FRESH HoLiDay Greens!!!
** ** ** ** **
A BIG THANK YOU to all the wonderful customers who shopped my shabbies or just came by for a look... It was my pleasure... I'LL BE BACK AT GRAYSLAKE IN JANUARY 2011 - SAME BOOTH LOCATION...
I'm now off to shop for "fussy little shabby adornments" for this weekend's upcoming "3 French Hens Show"...
Hope to see you there!*!*
