This time of year is pretty busy for me, as the Events Coordinator for my girls Cheer leading-Football Assoc.. I am in charge of planning-organizing-getting donations-shopping-putting it all together -the main Fundraiser (a Crab Feed)Sept. 10th (do you want to donate or promote your esty-would love donations Shameless plug)....Then you add 2 girls in cheer-3 days a week, a son in high school football 4 days a week, 1 in elementary, 1 in Jr high, 1 in high school, home, trying to run my little shoppe-make my items-paint-upholstery my pieces, take special orders, shop for food, laundry, gifts for instructors-coach's, work at high school Fundraiser Dinner , make -pick up flyer's for my Crab Feed I'm putting on, buy table clothes-decorations,make favors for event, clean home THEN all the stuff i really want to do, create new aprons, make some pillows, blog, update items in shoppe,AND I'm expanding my shoppe (yeah) so excited...
So I'm a little bad at blogging lately...So Sorry for not visiting some of you as much as before...
SO when i have so much going on, I start feeling like everything is a mess-so me and my husband cleaned out the garage, so I could see exactly what i have- or need or can put in order of what I'm going to work on...
SO i thought i would share with you, I admit I'M not a retail seller- BUT a Collector it appears.
Here are few of my pieces in the line up ...
Aren't these little vintage cuties great, I plan on just making slip covers for them and allowing the legs to show- and leave that lovely original green on them..![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSSDGr0ZZawmUxvWKEqM6Ji9rja_PZYkRUnpwVr3Dn0kAKIjHb9QNCtSGvvfp1EIOZKmR0foeiP4uAsX1UvVLufxVrKsQOXCenfov-F4S0e7JPh1w0calw5QMIklToZNQSwlH50PyR35D9/s320/024.JPG)
In my shoppe, i try to coordinate colors-I want it to flow and not be messy or hodge podge or too many colors of variation going on..
That is where the tricky comes in.
And that is just some- i didn't get pictures of the 4 antique dining ladder back chairs a friend gave me-she was down sizing, and didn't want to hall to So.Calif., or the 4 sweet white wood vintage fold down chairs(too cute for a wedding), or the 2 in my bedroom, 1 in bathroom,and rattan seat, with arms hanging in garage-that i couldn't get down..
And Lastly while I love Chairs- I also LOVE frames, especially old-vintage detailed ones..
Here are some of my 36 i have saved-
Back to work i go, have to go sort picture forms for cheer-make cards to say thank you, print labels for bags at shoppe and make some coffee..
You're stuff is amazing! LOVE the little sofas and darling chairs!!! GREAT finds!!!! Can't wait to see the finished products!! As far as the frames go, I see lots of chalkboards and cork boards in the making!!! :) Can't wait to hear more about the expansion of your shoppe too! How exciting!!
ReplyDeleteI love your photos of all that needs to be done, so much work counting on you!
ReplyDeleteAt one time I had five of my six children in five different schools, pre-school, elementary, Jr high, high school, and collage. So, I totally know how crazy it is trying to participate in all those school activities.
In the end you can sit back (in one of your lovely chairs) and realize what a great time you had and such wonderful achievements for your kids.
My goodness you have a big to do list. I too feel overwhelmed with trying to run my business, finish design school, take care of kids, hubby and home sometimes. There is just not enough time in the day or energy in this 30 something year old body for all of it!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see how it all turns out! Keep us posted!
Oh I have a list that is equally long (bedrooms being carpeted next week, selling a second home and moving all of the things out of it, daughter getting married next month, etc.)of "to-dos" and projects but looking at yours makes me weary! Good luck on yours!

Wow, so many wonderful things! So little time to do them! I look forward to seeing the completion of each piece.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your family first Kareyann and then everything will fall into place as it should. I think everyone is really busy this time of year with back to school preparations, readjusting schedules again and even end of summer vacations. Then everything will slow down until it begins picking up for the holidays.

I love all your chairs especially #5! I have to admit I have many chairs myself, most of them need to be recovered. I don't even have the time to pick out the fabric for them, so I know what you mean about not having enough time to get everything done! Can't wait to see them when you get finished with them!
ReplyDeleteDaphne
Wow that looks like a lot of work ahead of you. I have a feeling those pieces are going to look wonderful when you are done with them.
ReplyDeleteOh Karryann, how I wish I had your talent! I can't wait to see what you do with all those pieces. I love the slipper chair.

ReplyDeleteGirl, I want your job, except I don't have your talent to rip and make oh-so beautiful. I love the lines of these pieces too. What a talent and eye you have! Do you ever sleep? ;)

I can't wait to see what you do with that great big pink sofa, that you've decided to keep. It's a lovely piece, great lines! I bet it'll be another masterpiece!
