I've been busy stocking my booth at Orange Tree for the Memorial Day sale. This is one of our big sales of the year and I always do 25% off.
I found a couple old spools and fancied them up with graphics from Graphics Fairy, lace, and buttons. I priced these at $7-$9
A couple of mirrored frames I filled with sheet music and printed graphics from Graphics Fairy
(I saw this on a blog somewhere)
It is a great inexpensive way to fill frames. I priced these at $12
Yes, I got on the book band wagon.
I thought I would give a couple a try..they sold. Then I thought I would make some more.....They sold. So, I made some more. I sell them for $6-8 a piece and they are turning out to be a good seller.
I painted and added vintage jewels to a napkin holder. HERE is a post on some I previously did.
I am always in need of pictures for my booth. I paint the frames white and filled them with pictures I already had.
I showed you a glove box I altered HERE? It already sold, so I made up another one.
I priced this at $19
I made this flower and I would be happy to show you how, if you are interested. I know when I see a blog with yet another flower tutorial I go "Oh, not another one", but I always look! So let me know, this one was easy!
So, there ya have it, no earth shattering transformations, just stuff for my booth
The sale is May 27-30
So, if you're in the area stop in

Fabulous items for your booth! I would so love to visit your booth one of these days. Hope you have a good (and good selling) weekend!
Sure wish I was around Carol. Love the spools! And forget me and the flower, I have little ability to learn how, I would muss it up!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! And YES! I would love the flower tutorial...is it easy? Love everything you have created for your sale. Wish I was close enough to come. Hope you sell it ALL! Let us know how you do! Pam N.
OK, I'm asking! I'd love to see the flower tutorial.
oh I love coming here.You make the most beautiful creations,, how very talented you are,, just bliss,
Hi Carol, as always your stuff is gorgeous! And yes please I would love to know how to make those flowers as I wanted to put some on my chair backs but was a bit unsure how to go about it... these would be perfect!

Your creations are just the dreamiest! I love all that you offer. Maybe it is a very good thing I don't live close to your shop as I would be buying everything. Happy Holiday sales...
Some wonderful goodies...wish I lived closer!!!
I'm impressed! I should try some of those books. I did do some book bundles I ripped the bindings off but have only sold one bundle. Maybe this kind of altered book would sell better and I would have fun doing it.
Love that glove box transformation!
I understand what you mean about the cost of the chalkpaint. I am going to do the 2 pieces I have now for my booth and add the extra cost into the price. If that doesn't work I will probably just keep the paint for personal use.
I hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend!
Everything is so beautiful Carol! And yes, I would love to see a tutorial on the flowers. Your tutorials are the best because you are so clear when you do them.
Love, love, LOVE the spools and the "books"!! They look so beautiful and make my heart sing! :))
Your things for the booth sale look great, Carol! Much success to you! We are on our way to Daytona, or I'd come by and take a peek for sure!!

PS - sorry about the weird log in, I still can't comment with my blogger profile.. grrr.
Hi Carol,
Oh what pretties for your booth. I just love the spools transformed into art! I have several of these and used to wrap my laces around them for display in my sewing room. Now that we have the house for sale I have stored away so many things. Think I'll get them out, borrow your idea and put them in my booth.
Thanks for all the wonderful ideas. I adore you!
hugs

Wow Carol I love what you have made! Yes I would love to know how to make the flowers and the "books" look beautiful too, what did you use to make those?
I am doing a craft show in August with a friend who needs to make money for Christmas and I always have a rescue animal I need to get vet treatment for so I am looking for ideas for beautiful crafts I can make without spending too much and you are definitely my "go to" gal!
Thanks also for posting what prices you charge as I am never sure what I should charge for the things I have made.
Have a great day Carol and thanks a bunch!
Love...

It's all wonderful Carol, I bet you have quite a following at your booth. I did some books but so far no sale. hmmmm?
Congratulations on your success Carol. I would love a tutorial on the books. I think those are wonderful and gorgeous for any style home. You did good!! Char
Put me down for a tutorial on the flower. It's gorgeous!!! Love everything you've shown us and I'm sure you'll have a very successful sale!!!
Thank you for sharing!!!
I'd love to know how you made the flower! I always look at those tutorials, too.
All your work is so beautiful.
Carol, wow...you are a very busy person...I can see why your items sell right away, you create so beautifully.

Hi Carol, so many pretty things! Thanks for your sweet comments too :) Sounds like you are familiar with my "neck of the woods". Small world!!! Chat soon, Laurel@chippingwithcharm
PS...I wanted to follow too, but couldn't find the "button"...I'm thinking it might be because of the blogger issues. I'll stop back when they get it sorted out! Thanks again :) Laurel
Hi Carol! Wow! It all just looks sooooo fabulous! Um, what is the book band wagon? I guess I never even got one. They look really neat! When you get time I would love to know. Hope you sell out this weekend!
Hugs,
Olivia
This is going to be fun I use to have an antique store for 9 years I just closed in December....It was just to hard everyone was trying to sell you everything they had and I have a hard time saying no...not a good combo in a business woman but I so miss the customers and display work!
now I can live through your little shop!
HI, It's me Carol just testing my blog. I see my followers have disappeared, as have they on many blogs. If you would like to follow every blog has a follow at the very top of their blogs. Hope it gets fixed soon. Now I am going to see if this posts as many people have had problems with posting also.
Carol
I always enjoy seeing what you have made for your shop...nothing is too difficult, but the results are striking! Thank you for sharing! Maravonda
Carol, I love the spools. They are fantastic! You are so creative, and I would love to shop @ your booth. I hope you have a successful Memorial Day sale and a great weekend!
Something tells me that everything here will sell out quickly as well. So pretty!
Oh Carol, I love every one of these beautiful creations. I love the way you painted the tissue holder and added the bling. I have a few pieces similar to that and they haven't sold...maybe it's the gold. I'll have to white it up. The books are wonderful...no wonder you sold so many.
Hi Carol, I can see why the books are such a big seller..they are gorgeous! You are so creative and I love how you dressed up the spools.
xo,
Sherry
I'd love a tutorial on the flower....and the books too. They are absolutely gorgeous!
Your creations are fabulous Carol, I especially love the transformed spools. Thanks for stopping by!
Tracey
I love how you decorate your vintage finds!
