The Last of my Remnants of the Past pics-Part 3

Pin It
These are the last of my Remnants pics.  These were all taken in our space.

Blue shutters with vintage oil painting, music wreath and beautiful buffet.

This cabinet was full of fun pillows. 
We sold all but three of the street signs.  (we had over 30)


These little vignettes had to constantly be redone..

The smalls sold fast at this show.


A unique scale, one of the first sales.

I love this cement chicken.

Glass jars and rose buds on a silverplate tray.

Pretty white shells in a bird bath.

A collection of wood hand mirrors all sold.

Pretty farm table setting.


Lady statue, bird bath and glass float.

Succulants in a fountain.


A collection of baby slips.


Arched stained glass and fire surround.


Pretty hand mirror.

There were actually more pics to share but I don't want to bore you with more of the same stuff.  As I said before, this is a big show for us so I take lots of pics and try to do several posts.  If you missed this Spring show, try to make it to the Fall show.

Remnants of the Past ~ Part 1 ~ Spring 2012

Pin It
last weekend was once again a huge success!  We had a great time and we want to thank
Judy Watkins
 for putting on such a beautiful show.  We feel privileged to be a part of such a talented group of vendors.

Here is what we started with.  A twenty foot long cargo trailer filled to the brim with treasues.  We arrived early Friday morning and had the whole day to set up.

A blank slate.  Where do we start?

Friday afternoon it is all ready to go.

It was VERY full.

Lots of beautiful garden pieces.


Special touches like a homemade four layer Chocolate Cake made the space fun.

Yum....

A running water fountain also added something special.


And the scent of this fresh Lavender was heavenly.

Here we are the Saturday morning crew taken by our nice neighbor Debra Hall.


Our fun T-shirts.

More to come!  I have lots of pictures to share.
