Market Mayhem- Portland 2013

Thursday morning we got started with setup. I set a goal of being done by 5pm. With 4 sets of hands I was sure we could get it all done. I know I'm smiling here but...actually, it wasn't that bad.

And just as I planned we finished right before 5! And the finished results were just as I imagined them to be. Those seats were the piece de resistance. I picked them up not far from my home. We had to dig them out of 3 feet of snow behind someones home. But after stripping them of their old fabric, cleaning them, re-painting them and covering them in my fabric they looked as good as new. And better yet, they were so comfy!

 

I often talk about the ideas that find their way into my brain. It's so fun to watch those thoughts and ideas become a reality. I had the huge frames from a previous market. I simply attached rope lights to them and printed posters of my feature films. :o)

 
My inspiration was a black and white movie theatre with only my fabric as the punch of color. TECHNICOLOR was spelled across the screen in various prints. A few extra movie themed props completed the look.

 

By far the highlight of my week was winning the Second Place award for Best Single Booth!

(the hubs said it even topped seeing the salmon! :o)

I couldn't have done any of it without these wonderful people! I'm so blessed to have them in my life. Thanks Mom and Dad and Husband for putting up with this Crazy Old Lady! :o)
