A Successful Market Day

Kate had her first show and what a success it was.
 
 
Her new business, Rustic Market, is off and running with many customers 
inquiring if she had a shop.
 
 
This magnificent headboard did not sell, but I think most people couldn't 
see it's potential as anything other than a headboard.
I would use it as a piece of art on a wall, set it on a mantel, or put vintage 
hooks on it and use it in an entry way for hanging coats.
 
 
Check out this unique vintage bike that she turned into a table/shelf.  It was a little hard to display to it's best since it needs to be attached to a wall to make it stable.  But regardless, it was noticed by many for it's uniqueness and found a loving home.
 
 
Her rusty letters practically flew out the door.
 
 
This piece of furniture came home with us.  Although it looks like it has many drawers, it actually is a dresser with only 4 drawers.  I think it would look great in a boy's bedroom, an entry way or fantastic in an office with a black printer on top of it.  Plus, it would allow great space for storage.
 
 
This altar table we found on The Longest Yard Sale.  It is such a beautiful piece.  It was missing a drawer (which we didn't notice until we got it home), so we added a piece of decorative wood carving where the drawer should be to hide the hole.
 
 
All in all, it was a very positive and fun day.  Exhausting, but fun.

I wish I could have gone. Was the green thingies a long bench. We have a Real Deals store and they can't keep Rhodes letters in stock. Love the bike.

I love it! Beautiful room. Blue paint looks restful. My bedroom furniture is very much like yours, but have had it for years.

I can't believe the headboard didn't sell Cindy, because that is the first piece I would have grabbed. If shipping wasn't so much I would love it! Your daughter is such a doll and I'm so happy she did well on her first sale. Love that she is into vintage and rustic too. Tell Kate hi from me :)

SO SO happy for her! She looks so happy and pleased in that pretty pic of her.

Write me a note and let me know what she's wanting for that neat headboard thingie.

Hugs.
