Etsy Photos in My Garden

Happy 4th of July! What a fantastic weekend it was. Perfect clear weather after all that steamy heat. The life of a little business never ends, even on holiday weekends. Business Saturday was terrible.... too many husbands and kids are never good for a lampshade business!!! I should remember next year to go away! OH well, had lots to do.

I was off Sunday and had a huge list to cram into one day! Grocery shopping, farmers market, weeding, sadly pruning the hell out my poor Stanley Prune Tree that has a nasty black something virus, thank you notes from Mach's Fest, listing and photography for Etsy, read a few pages in my book group book, The Lowland, watch The Tour de France and .... jeez, the day is just not long enough!

Here are a few of my Etsy photos from the house! I don't get to shoot here very often; it was actually kind of fun! Etsy likes dreary neutral backgrounds; I don't... ha, ha.. how dull like most of their Front Page Treasury photos.... they don't have much personality but then it's big business these days.

A pair of vintage mangle cloth hex clip lampshades. 7 top x 10 bottom x 7 high, $75 each.

Love this  grape vintage cross stitch lampshade! The shade is 5 x 8 x 6 hex bell clip on. $68. one of a kind.

Vintage Blue Stripe Grainsack Hex Bell,  5" top x 8" bottom x 6" high, clip on shade. $68 each. I have a pair at time of listing.

Here it is in a larger size, A pair of Hex Bell Lampshades 7" x  12" x  8" high.

My helper... inside where I have fenced her out! Sweet Ziggy! Guess she can do no wrong.

all for now, got lots to do and orders to fill.

Looking Ahead to August: New Hampshire Decorating and Design Market August 2nd, 2014

July has arrived today and I am looking ahead to my next adventure. I will be joining Matthew Mead and 20 other vendors for a new show as part of New Hampshire's prestigious Antique Week. It's called New Hampshire Decorating and Design Market, presented by Matthew Mead and Infusion NH in Goffstown, NH at Donna's shop, From Out of the Woods Antique Center, 465 Mast Road.

Artisans will include recycled/repurposed goods, metalware, up-cycled antiques, wool, linen, garden items, pottery, furniture and lampshades.

I don't do to many shows these days, but thought this might be fun to give a try. I have long admired Matthew Mead's magazine work; he's got a great eye and lead the design style for ages. A talented guy.

It's August 2nd, Saturday 10 am-2pm.$5. With early buying 9am-10am $20 ( the time to find the cream of the crop).

I am looking forward to a fun day! My shop will be closed Aug 1 and 2 while I am away at this show.
