How was Canton ?

Canton was beautiful this past weekend.. the crowds were large and even though it was a bit cooler, we had a lot of travelers. Louisiana seem to all come for a visit. Seems like every other customer was from Louisiana, with some saying they were having so much fun they were coming back next month.
Met some customers all the way up from Austin and San Antonio who fell in love with the booth.
Here are some pics from our booth this past month. Enjoy and we hope to see you there next month ..

tufted french bench .. you can't really see them in the pic, but i made some buttons for this bench using cotton string .. they look like little pom poms ..

love the little slipcovered childs chairs .. Rod made a table to go with using old banister spindles as legs ..

i love the look of a sweet little antique chair stacked with pillows .. the top pillow is from our new line of vintage pillows .. just the sham, ma'am ..

darling ruffled initial shams .. cute!

don't you just love this pair of stools .. i believe they originally were a pair of cocktail tables .. the base is heavy metal and was already painted gold when we found them .. i covered them in burlap and i love the way the tufting turned out .. i also made some special buttons for them using threads of the burlap ..

another pillow from our new line of vintage pillows - just the sham, ma'am - the pillows are made using discarded and saved scraps of vintage fabrics blended with burlap, canvas and muslin ..

just the sham, ma'am - vintage toile pillow ..

i love our union jack pillows ..


We hope to see you in Canton this coming month.. keep watching the blog for updates on finished projects for the show.

Love ya'll
Troy
