Remodeling and Breaking out the Fall Goods

In the craft world, harvest and Halloween goods have to be in the shop by August, I will just make the cutoff. I should be getting mountains of Halloween things from Clarinda next week to list. I don't think I'll do a fall show this year, just counting on ebay, although why I would is a mystery...I am in the midst of painting five thousand feet of woodwork in my living room and it feels like it will never be done. I have the music room all done with pictures and everything. The pie safe will only have the 2 crocks on top when I get the living room done--the pitcher and bust go on the bookcase eventually. Here is the mess I am in the middle of:

and here is the music room, that I need to keep looking at to give me hope...

Getting a Head Start on Fall

My contractor (better known as my husband)hasn't had time to get more walls prepped for me to paint yet, so I'm went ahead and started in on fall painting projects--pumpkin milk paint and they turned out rather well.

More Stuff on the Way to Ebay

I took some things out of the antique mall today to sell on ebay, or not, as the case may be. I may have to start calling myself a collector as opposed to a dealer if this keeps up, but hope springs eternal and here are a few things to go into the internet shop.

July 4th Finds

Here are a few of the things I got at the July 4th markets, things were a little sparser than usual, but I came away with some great prims. The old tote/cubby cupboard in original blue paint is $48, the tins are $25 to $38 each, the big blue marble granite funnel is $45, the early granite berry pail is $48, and the early tote in original blue milk paint is $300.
