Upcycled Living Fair & Market - Plus a Redo

This June (25th & 26th), I'll be participating in the first Upcycled Living Fair & Market which is being sponsored by The Grapevine, an awesome shop located in Greer, SC.

To say that I'm super excited about this event would be an understatement for sure!  This will be my first event and I'm having a lot of fun planning for it.  I've finally gotten around to planning my booth and have started pinning some ideas for things I'd like to make for decor.

In addition to that, I have really kicked production of my work into high gear.  I'll be listing most of it on Etsy, up until it's time to go to the market and then I'll close up shop for a couple of days while I'm selling at the market.  I'll also be dedicating posts to most of the new pieces.  If you see anything you'd like, you can always get it from my Etsy shop, or if you're not too far from Greer, SC, you can come out to the market and save yourself the shipping costs.

Also, if there is anyone out there who may be interested in selling at this event, they are still looking for a few vendors.  Please check out the market website for the vendor application and more information.


I just finished this piece today and I looooove it!

This is what it looked like when I brought it home.

I sanded off the rest of that ugly label and then added a wood ornament thingy that I'd stained (so somethin' peeks through after distressing).  I painted in Folk Art's Patina and then lightly distressed it.

Those little wood pieces are great for adding a little something to plain pieces found at the thrift shops.  If you've not seen them before, you can get them at Lowe's, Home Depot and most craft stores.  They're only a few bucks and they can really boost your makeovers, making them look really fancy-pants.
