(Not So) Lazy Days of Summer

I am in the process of moving my booth to a larger room.  I guess that I cannot estimate time very well, since I thought the move would take me no more than two days.  It has been a week and I am STILL moving.  The new space is only about 30 feet from the old one, but it seems more like several blocks.... Pack up and lug, pack some more and scoot, pack more and roll.  The fun part - the part that I always love - is arranging everything just so and making sure that it has visual appeal.  I have lots more wall and floor space. 

 
I just added this awesome white cabinet.  It was hand made by a local man who re-purposes old furniture parts and incorporates them into
 new pieces.
 

 
Lovin' this cute new chandelier.  It adds just the right amount of light and sparkle.
 
 
I am not sure why I am on a wreath kick.... but this oval one was fun to make.  I used bits and pieces of flowers, vintage lace, and old buttons (one of my very favorite things - if you ever wonder what to get me for my birthday.... a simple bag of old buttons will send me over the edge). 
 
 
 
 
This peony wreath includes some hand-stamped art pieces.  I was going to use them on a card or scrapbook page, but I think they wanted to be on this grapevine wreath.   Now, off to paint some new pieces for my new "Vintage Inspired" space!
