For Sale in our Booth

Went to check on our booth at the Peddler's Mall today...

(booth #15 aisle #2)

We recently added a blue, Costco stool with the pull out steps...

We sold our big Reynold's factory cart this past week-end so I knew it needed to be checked since we had piled stuff up on top of that...
Some repurposed keys make a nice little key rack or jewelry organizer...

So far it's been a learning experience...some things you think will sell right away are still there and some things I thought would sit there for awhile sold right away....

This cast iron pulley would make an incredible light fixture....

It's still fun to buy things that catch your eye

...the little kids' chalkboard/pegboard case sitting in the chair still has all the parts with it.

I love that....some little kids played with that and it's still here with all those little tiny pieces....

I can't resist good pyrex...

we have more of these...

The cookie press still has all the attachments for making decorative shaped cookies...

Love the little kids' table and chair set with a chalkboard top...

and the little turquiose drawer pull (upside down on the left) holds the chalk.

Hexagon Patterned table

We have been restocking our booth space at the Peddler's Mall...

So far we've had a good first month and it has been interesting to see what sells and what doesn't....

This little table actually came from my Uncle and Aunt who we wrangled into helping us stock our booth...

I started with a pale grey/white color.  It's a latex sample I had from painting our living room...

Then I decided to do a hexagon pattern on the top since I love painting by hand and messing around with new patterns...
I laid it all out with chalk which wipes off easily and I did the vertical lines first before tracing the hexagon.

 I am completely mathematically challenged.  So here's a link to how to draw a hexagon for those of you who might be interested...

I used my Martha Stewart acrylic paints....

Then distressed it and finished it up with some wax....

And of course it's now in our little booth space awaiting it's new home...

Vintage Egg Basket

My first purchase from the Peddler's Mall where we have our booth...

We have enjoyed raising the chickens and getting fresh eggs....the photo above is Little Red.  She is the last survivor from the second set that we bought.  None of the first set made it 

(and three of the five were roosters)

And this is Miss Goldie who is so friendly and has the perfect disposition for the kids....

We get two eggs a day sometimes one and lately none....but I have been on the hunt for egg baskets since we started getting eggs.

 While checking on our booth the other night I spied this little treasure up on a shelf in a booth across the aisle....

 I couldn't pass it up!  I don't think I've ever seen one this size.  They are almost always large

....so I had to make my first purchase

I love it....and will probably still buy a larger one at some point this year while flea marketing.

We ordered baby chicks with our sister in law over at Red Barn Revival, and they should be here in a week or so...

can't wait to see the new babies...

Reynold's Factory Cart

 The second factory cart we have to sell...

24" x 64" and 14 1/2" tall she's a bit narrower than the others I've seen and that would be really nice for a coffee table...

Metal corners that wrap around...

 Lettering on each side....

Somewhat sanded but still plenty of patina and color on the top...

She's available and in our booth at the Peddler's Mall.

Peddler's Mall Booth ready to go!

So we went from the above to the below. 

The ultimate "Before and After" photos

My husband & I spent the whole day working on setting everything up.  

Pricing everything and labeling all of it...

Then relisting it all in our own log...

I still can't believe that we have a booth space!  

We have forever said that it would be so much fun to shop for a booth---

to be able to buy things that we'd have to pass up because we don't have space or can't really use it.

And this is one of the only places were we could do both vintage items and the things that we'd like to hand make....

But our rule is always the same...

We buy what we like.

And so far that has served us well....

Industrial and vintage...

Alot of fun odds and ends....

We feel so blessed to have the opportunity and now we're holding our breath to see what God has planned for us from here....

After all He owns the cattle on a thousand hills...
