My Craft and Antique Booth

Last week I bought a Canon Rebel so I can FINALLY start blogging again!  It's been so frustrating not having a  camera!  Hopefully I'll get a chance to take a photography class soon.  It's something I've been wishing for for a long time. 

 Since I have a camera again I have a lot of pictures of my antique and craft booth.  It's definitely a work in progress.  I like some things but some aren't perfect but then again that is the joy of old things.  You can probably see some of my old blog projects like pillows made from old skirts and the bingo card "Family" sign.  I'm hoping this booth will be a place I can display and give ideas to readers from blogland in person.  I'm not sure if a lot of my Mega Mall cronies are bloggers but I would guess not.   They have all been very helpful in teaching me things about having an antique booth even though I'm stubborn and like to do things differently sometimes!  

I have a blog friend, Mitzi and she has a few antique booths that I was able to visit for inspiration.  I actually purchased the colorful granny square blanket from one of Mitzi's booths.  I saw one like it in a magazine and was on the hunt for one ...very exciting find!   All the things I buy for my booth I would like to own (well I do own until someone else buys them!).  I also look for things I see in magazines. 

Have you tried the new Martha Stewart acrylic craft paints at Michael's?  They are for metal, wood and glass.  I painted these old metal bronze colored candle stands and vase with the glitter paint.  I was wondering how it would dry on the metal but they turned out really cool.( I had to do a lot of coats.)  There's also chalkboard paint in some great colors.  I painted the box with the drawer in mint green chalkboard paint. 

I'll be back soon!  I promise.  Next week we will start back with Lucky Linky....does anyone have any suggestions for who to use for link party hosting?
