Patience Is A Virtue - Progress Comes in Baby Steps!

I finally have begun setting up the booth space 

for Authentica Classics!!
The grain sack pillows will have a home before I know it!

I forgot to take a before picture of the wall with the peg boards. I had a dear friend sew in a rod pocket across the top of the canvas, leaving about a 9 inch drop for a little valance. We added another three feet at the bottom, to cover the wall and puddle just a bit at the floor.

I'm still working on a few ideas to hide the air duct...

or at least get rid of the cord!
The chandelier will be gone too!  Maybe I'll add a few later....


Remember the chicken nesters I spoke of in an earlier post? My husband and college aged son worked all afternoon to get the canvas panels hung and then up went the first nester! I was so excited! It looked adorable! 

The second nester did not have the same wall support so I have had to come up with another idea to raise it a bit under the first one....I'll share that with you later!

I purchased two old potting racks right out of a barn 

and also was given the opportunity to buy 

a potting bench as well.

They all look so rustic, I love the idea of using them as fixtures and merchandising with them!







I liked the two nesters so much.....

after they were cleaned of course!....

I went back and bought two more!

While my husband and I were at the farm, we got to "meet" the chickens and a gorgeous rooster...we also went away with a dozen fresh eggs!



Isn't he beautiful?
Things are happening quickly now! 

Hope to share more soon!
Have a great weekend!

Be Real,

Martha
