My First Craft Mall Teeny Tiny Booth







Newsflash:

In the midst of the rat race I'm running, I finally took the plunge and signed a six month lease for a very small space at a relatively new (but very busy) craft mall near me. The Calico Rabbit in Plainwell, MI has a great corner storefront in the middle of their quaint little town. Small

is good for just starting out I think, but I filled it as well as I could. The good news is that the owner invited me to bring in more goodies to overflow in the empty booth next to me. In fact, she said that I could bring in lots more junk and scatter them here and there in a couple more semi-empty booths. She'd rather have things in the spaces and then clear them when the spaces are rented. Sounds grand to me - extra space for me rent free!

Here's a few pictures of my space. The mini lights are pink, great to help highlight Chic Cottage Junk!
It's not very big but I loaded it up! The previous tenant had painted the pegboard brown and I thought it went just fine with the Shabby colors I use.

Isn't this just a darling girly little tree? I made this with pink tulle fabric, some old glass beads from vintage jewelry, and a pretty rose tea cup!

Fancy Lamp Bird Bath

This is made from an old lamp base and a fancy scalloped ceiling fixture bowl. Whoever buys this will have their birds drinking and bathing in style and elegance!

Doesn't this look so cool the way the light filters through the tiny holes and then out the top?
