Gone but Not Forgotten!!

It sure has been a wonderful adjustment to owning my own store.

Time flies everyday...

There is always so much to do. I have tons of pictures to show you and stories to write but I have to admit I fell short on the blogging end....sigh.....

I am painting special orders, designing spaces, rearranging the store and ordering fun one-of-a-kind things. I am also attending meetings with the local business association and advertising.

Through it all I forgot something.....

I forgot to celebrate my Blogiversary!!

Bella Rustica Barn Sale 2013

Hello friends! What a busy weekend!  

Gosh was it Hot!!

Saturday was spent mainly outside in Lebanon, Tennessee at Legacy Farms. I enjoyed a Hometalk Blogger Meet-up with some area bloggers at Bella Rustica, a vintage marketplace and barn sale.

It was at a new location this year. If you remember I was a vendor last year. My booth was Micucci Designs. I had a blast but it was tons of work! This year I decided to shop instead! 

I wish they kept it in October because it was a hot one and made it difficult to really get into it. With that said, there was still a lot of great booths and wonderful rusty junk!

I missed my blogger friends from last year. Donna from Funky Junk Interiors and Sandra from Sawdust Girl kept me laughing and we got to know each other on a more personal level that just behind the screen!

So we got to the gate and waited for it to open.

And What was the first thing I saw?

My Ticket Sign from my Etsy Shop!

Ballard Design Knock Off Ticket Sign

You can now order this sign HERE!!!!

I have to give Carrie over at Dittle Dattle the credit for this inspiration! She did one and got me thinking that this would be perfect for my theatre girl. Being a sign painter I usually don't make them for myself. Kinda like a mechanic that don't work on his car or a doctor that doesn't go to one when sick!

But I had to do this one! If you have access to a vinyl cutter it is so easy! If not go to a sign shop and ask them to cut some for you and you can apply it yourself.

I started with the Ballard inspiration.......

 
I got the dimensions from them 12"hx24"wx1/4"d and cut a piece of finished wood to look like a ticket.

I love the way it turned out! This is for my theatre girl! She is gonna love this! It will go with the whole Hollywood/Broadway theme she has all over!

I left some of the vinyl off to make it look older. 

Thanks Carrie for the inspiration!

Now to go pop some popcorn!

YOU CAN NOW PURCHASE A TICKET IN MY ETSY SHOP ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THIS BLOG!
