I am working on getting merchandise ready for my booth at the Polka Dot Flea
Whenever I can, I buy old thread spools
Of course I can't sell empty spools......So.....I tore some muslin strips and did a little "Paris" stamping
I always use ink that is made for fabric stamping since it is washable
You can see my post HERE on fabric stamping
All ready to sell at the Polka Dot Flea
I priced them at $6 and $12
I've been a busy girl...Working on the Polka Dot Flea everyday...On my next post, I'll show you the ticket booth I am working on.
I'm also in the middle of a master bath update.....Goodness, I'm a glutton for punishment lol!
Happy Creating!
Carol
It would be so much fun to come down for your event! Can't wait to see your bathroom redo!!! BUSY LADY!!

Love this idea......going to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration!!!
One day I hope to attend your event, it's on my
bucket list!
I'm sure they will sell well. I keep looking at your poster and I just love it. You should have a few printed up to sell. They are a work of art and will be collectible in a few years. I still have the polka dot flea shopping bag.
ReplyDeleteHi! I like your spool redo! Turned out very lovely. You sure keep busy! Nancy
ReplyDeleteWow, you are working on your show and renovating your bath too? You sure are a whirl wind of activity:)
ReplyDeleteI adore your stamped fabric!!! I have those very same rubber stamps. You have them very reasonably priced! Can't wait to hear more about your show, I sure wish that I could attend!!
Just perfect Carol and I can't wait to see the ticket booth

Don't use your dishwasher until you have a full load. Make sure your dishwasher is full Play Bazar before using it, hecause it takes the same amount of water and energy to wash a full load as it does half a load. Use the shortest cycle possible, if you can, turn the dishwasher off prior to the drying cycle, opening the door. This allows the dishes to air dry.satta king
