Roses and Rustics

This is the store counter Craig and I built for Jane of

Roses and Rustics!

She is opening a store May 6th. For information of about the location just click on her shop name and go to her blog.

We made a pair of these lights, they are awesome! They were cages to some casino lights. They are about 2 1/2 feet wide, they look smaller in the picture.

Happy Birthday Clayton!

My baby turns 20 today!

This is the first time I've ever seen Clayton with long hair! I love it!
Mommy misses you so much!

This is the rig where he works!

We got to go up on the platform when we went for a visit!

I know what your thinking!

I know what your thinking, this all looks like a pile of junk!! But trust me it will be great when we are finished with it! This is some of the Iowa goodies we got week before last!

We built a store counter this week, for a friend that is opening a store (I forgot to take pics!). It turned out great, the thing is huge! I will pull some pics off her blog when she post about it!

I can't wait to get started on some of this Iowa junk! Love it!

Hay trollies and a cool jack!

The Dust Is Settling!

Boy! I'm telling you we haven't stopped since we got home from Texas! Last week we went to Iowa! I got a truck load of goodies! We are unloading the truck today I will take some pictures!

Of course Sharon of Sweet Repose was our guide! We had a blast I have never laughed so much in my whole life! And the weather was fabulous, I felt like I was on vacation! We traveled over 300 miles on our shopping trip while in Iowa!

We went to Barbs shop, Cross Creek, (my first time there)

Simply Iowa!

Her shop is amazing!

Got some great booty there!

Cross Creek

Sisters Garden and Bloom

was also on our list of places to shop!

I always find wonderful things there!

Sisters Garden

Then I got to meet

Anita of Iowa Junk Gypsies!

That was a treat!

All in all the trip was successful and very enjoyable!

I'm so glad we took the time to go!

Expanded Booth Before and After

Before

We have been busy as a bee since we've been home from Texas! Not a minutes rest! For real! I rented the booth beside me and a half a booth in front of my old booth! I couldn't wait to get the work done cause I had a vision of what it would look like in my head! After 4 days of moving furniture out, moving furniture in, painting, stapling burlap and of course my favorite thing (decorating) I am finally finished! You can see how tiny my space was!

Just a Few Pics!

I have to say Marburger was very good to us this show! Our show was right up there in the top three! I am a little surprised though! I felt like all I had was a hodge podge of stuff and I was not feeling it when I was trying to put the booth together! And I had a smaller booth and brought less stuff! Some way, some how it all worked out and we almost sold out! We only had 3 pieces of furniture left!

We had huge crowds at Marburger as well! Thanks to everyone who came out and bought something, without you guys we wouldn't be in business!

Hope you enjoy these pics of my booth!

The bed and the light fixture were the first things to go!

Home at Last!

We got home about 30 mins. ago Yee haw!! It's amazing how big your house looks when you get home from being crammed in a 23 ft. travel trailer for 2 weeks! We had an amazing show and a wonderful time seeing everyone! I have tons of pictures but I'm to tired to load them in the computer. And I have to go to Brentwood, TN. tomorrow to deliver a showcase. You'll have to wait a little longer! Sorry!
