Move, Moving, Moved

I am not moving towns or houses. But Erica and I did moved our "be." booth. We have officially moved our booth to Antiques and Uniques. We are super excited about the location and fun items we have in the booth. I took a few pictures to entice readers that live locally to stop by and check our booth out!!

The Before:

After with all the goodies!

We have had the best time putting everything together!! I went by to drop off a side table earlier today and we had already sold a several items!! I am taking these 2 new pieces of furniture up to the booth tomorrow!!

Shutters: Before and After

  The other day as I was paroozing Pintrest, I came across this cute idea of using an old shutter as a card/ photo holder. With the start of the Holidays this week and the expected arrival of Christmas cards soon; I knew that I wanted to tackle this project pronto.

Pintrest Inpiration

I had stumbled upon these old shutters a could of weeks ago. They have been living in my garage and looking sad. Here are the before pictures. They are looking old, bleak, and weathered. 

 These shutters were in need of some DIY love and the key to all pretty things - fun cheery paint!! I made one for myself (red) and one for a friend (blue).

 After letting the paint dry, I sanded and distressed them a smidge to add some intrest and to show off their age. The final product turn out super cute, if I do say so myself. The coloring in the pictures below is kinda strange. I am working on my photography skills. As you can tell I have lots to learn.

Yay for another completed project. I am ready for all the Christmas cards coming my way!! I love this time of the year! Happy Thanksgiving!! Hope your holidays are filled with an ample amount of love, laughter, and peace.

 "be." is officially open for business. Yay!!! Erica and I met after work today to set the booth up. Of course she is completely prepared and I am running around like a crazy chicken.  So after I pack up all my inventory and load the big pieces we heard to Dusty Relics to set up shop.

fabulous find @be.

At first we were worried that we had to many items and were contemplating asking for a bigger booth space. Then we decided that we might not have enough inventory. But in the end everything turned out wonderful. We had the right amount of goods and the perfect amount of space.

Come check out our space if you are in Saline County!! We are located at Dusty Relics right off the Alexander exit as your are heading to Bryant!! We would love some feedback. Happy Monday!

Junkpot

Erica and I got up early to fulfill a mission. We headed out to find more junk.  Everyone needs more junk, right?  We are officially setting up our be. booth on Monday night. We are in panic/ excitement mode.  Off we went, to Hot Springs for a church rummage sale.  We hit the JUNKPOT!!! Can't wait to show off some of our treasures.

Erica's car filled up fast. The deal of the day: A great wood highchair.(not pictured) I cant' wait to get my hands on it and fix it up. I had to call my sweet in laws to come pick of the highchair because we ran out of room. Always a good sign for a junkpot!!

I am like a kid at Christmas. I always come home and lay all my loot out and marvel over my treasures. I make a mental game plan for each piece before I clean, re-purpose, or use/ display them around my house.

Happy Saturday!!

be.ing Adventurous..

So my sweet friend Erica and I are starting a new adventure. We are going to start a flea market booth. We are really excited but a little intimidated about the whole process. I will keep you guys updated by posting pictures of big special pieces. We are calling our shop "be." We loved the idea of using out initials for our name. We are also writing inspirational catch phrases on the tags. For example "be. green", "be. positive", "be. happy". Okay you guys get the idea!! We are hoping to be opening the booth at the beginning of October, which is just around the corner. Eeeek!
