canton - arbor 3 - space 374 - 375A

we leave for canton on wednesday - will be setting up wednesday and the market opens on thursday - and runs through sunday - jan 3 -

we have been working like crazy to get stuff done - priced, packed and created -

my home computer caught a virus on Christmas eve night - so i am without a home computer for a few days - no time to get it fixed until we get back - the virus is called security tool - and it is nasty - hopefully, it will get all straightened out .. anyway, i am using the computer at the warehouse to make posts and answer emails -

here are some pics of things we have been working on ...


there will be 4 of these little slipcovered chairs around a painted white round table - i should have the covers finished tonight and am taking them home to wash so they are more wrinkled - they are natural muslin ..


this was an old duncan-phyfe china cabinet - rod painted it and i am thinking i might put quilts and the like in it - not sure yet - maybe some china - i have some queensware wedgwood i am taking - so that might look good in it -

footstools, wicker and odd side tables - awaiting distressing - love the wicker basket - i have some ironstone that will look great displayed in that -

because nice matters - a sign we make that is always a good seller - another that we make - be nice or leave - sells real well also -

looking forward to seeing you there -

we are in space 374 & 375A of Arbor 3 ..

laterz,

troy & rod

    hey, debbie - wait till you see the pics of the after - after i washed them - they are so cool - the muslin i used was old / old and there was something in it - and they puckered and wrinkled like they were a hundred years old - i will post pics tomorrow - so cool though - i am getting excited - hope it doesn't snow us out -

    Sorry I missed Canton, but I love the Chair covers, are they for sale separately and if so how much.

    Happy New Year.
