A sale like no other....

Thankyou to those who are interested in how the sale went, let me put your mind at rest....I closed after three hours!!!

It was miserable weather, Autumn decided to show up, and I think it scared most of  my customers away....

It was great to see a few of my regulars visit first thing, and maybe a dozen or so came in the next hour, but by 11am, it died a quick death!

I had tarps up everywhere, but the wind was cold and damp, I gave in, and packed up!  And just to taunt me, the sun came out for the next hour, and people were driving up the lane looking for my little studio, staring at the locked gate...shame...

Well after a night of sulking and disappointment, I decided that I will just have to plan my next sale in April. Check for new dates soon over HERE.

I took some pics, and made my new banner, but saved my favourite one to show here!

This lovely lady visits every month, we have a great catchup chat, and she usually finds something special to take home.

So how was your weekend ladies? 

Mmmm, what's next?

I have a list.

 I have a very long list, which I add to everyday, sometimes twice a day.

Is it ever going to end?

Am I ever going to reach the last one, and then dust my hands off and sigh with relief??

Where is the switch 'off' button, so I can get a good nights' sleep, and not feel a slave to my creative side of the brain?

I cant follow my list, because I keep coming up with new ideas, which I have to do!

I am a thinker, sometimes a couple of days can go by, and all I have done is think!

I write and draw my ideas in great detail, and when the moment strikes, I go into my creative mode at full speed!

Sometimes, I have 5 projects going at once, and other times, 10!

I have been up since 3am today, and have nothing to show for it.....

except a headache!

Lately I ask myself this question...Is junking good for me?

*Im having a clearout on ebay, with the hope of seeing my verandahs once again for Christmas!

Theyre all listed as buy it now, and are bargain prices, so check them out!

As busy as a bee!

Ive had some catching up to do, since slacking off when my daughter came home, everything has been piling up!

A project I just havent had time for, this gorgeous mantle will clean up nicely...

These old drawers, so chippy and sweet! I have just listed some things in my ebay store to start tonite,

and a couple of new things to my website.

Fine glass candle holders

Im thinking of giving my website a spring clean soon, even though Autumn is on its way! Im trying a new plan of attack, hope it works. Hopefully I will have it all organised by April , so check in occasionally!

Thankyou to all of those who have been supporting me the past 6 months since Junkstudio has been up and running, you have given me the confidence to try new waters.......we'll see how it goes!

Set of doves

Do you see what I see?

How gorgeous is this...can you see what I see? It is a wire basket, maybe for holding flowers, decorations, all sorts of things! It also collapses when not in use...but I see a lovely ,curvy woman! A stand through her middle, some glam and glimmer , and wella! I snapped it up from my friend Sue, before it reached the sale table!

Stay tuned, and I will post photos when the curvy lady is revealed!

By the way, in case you are interested, and local, Im opening the studio doors on Wednesdays and Saturdays leading up to Christmas, by appointment only.So gather a group together, and you may find those last minute gifts!

Check my website for contact details.

I have had a few orders to fill this week, 6 to be precise! I managed to take a photo of this one before they all went to good homes! They are a lot of fun, and easy to make, and just look so cute in the garden, though my son did ask ,' How will the bird get in'? I had to explain to him, again, it is decoration! He just doesnt get it, not everything is practical,and functional!Well not here anyway!LOL

Lastly, I just finished this lovely setting for two, and it will be listed tonite here. I love how it turned out, but the tray top is going to be hard to part with! I have a collection of these, and I especially love this one...but after searching for the perfect tabletop for a couple of months, I had to make the tough decision, it matches perfectly! The cushions were covered with barkcloth I had stored away, and the table is actually a birdcage stand! It is a good hieght, and perfect for 'tea for two'!

Mmmm, any suggestions for a name for my Curvy lady?

Latest additions...

Just thought I'd share a few things I have added to my ebay store. I love having such a diverse collection to sell!

Isnt this swinging love seat a cutie? My parents had one almost identical! It is definitely screaming 'retro', so it doesnt really go with my rustic decor!

It's funny how you are drawn to the same things whilst out junking...well this certainly isnt a piece of junk, and I swore I had decided NO MORE DRESSING TABLES!But when I saw her, she was calling my name, and is now prettied up , and movin' out!

The old Bentwood rocking chairs are always popular, with gorgeous tapestry upholstery.

Suitcases breed in my home, I have so many, full I might add, but I have managed to sneak out a couple, these will be in my store soon.

There is plenty more on offer, so please feel free to take a look!

Im busy working on some new projects, I'll be sure to show you all a sneak peek later....

Have a good week!!
