Funky junk sisters 2013 sale review.


The question people ask is, did you do good?  Tricky answer. Let me try to clarify.
I loved the sale part. It was totally fun with great vendors to work with like sally with This 2 That. I hope to
join her for a sale sometime. Maybe she will come down since her product would sell really great down here. we had some fabulous customers like Debbie from haystack antiques in Bellevue. O there were others like the lady who loved my milk glass bowl for $4 that she gave me $5 and a hug. The memories and the laughs were worth it. Crystal my partner in this sale was a riot!! She's PG tho and this was hard on her, well me to for that matter. Exhausted was an understatement as we plastered on the smiles and the hellos more than ever before. Hauling furniture and standing most of the time left us nearly in a coma afterwards. But we still laughed and had a blast! 
The money wasn't worth doing this sale since we had gas, hotel, and a large booth fee. But for the contacts it was huge and for the fun, it was the best. Seriously I really want to do another because it was so fun. But I won't. 
Some vendors didn't even make their rent. The prices there are a glorified garage sale. And most people were buying small things. But we did sell out of our little furniture pieces and a bed, just not the big pieces. We actually had so little stuff left we were amazed at the end of the day. Chalk boards with cool frames were big salers and that funky turquoise blue was big too. 
If you like shabby, funky, or vintage this is a fun sale to shop at. I found a beautiful crystal light for my kitchen but that was it. 
Any question?

Home made chalk paint recipe.

Image
For those of you who asked for my chalk paint recipe.  1 Cup Flat Latex Paint  2 1/2 Tbsp Plaster of Paris 1 1/2 Tbsp cool water Mix the cool water and plaster till smooth. Then add your FLAT latex paint in your favorite color. Mix well. (I used a stir stick and plastic measuring bucket from lowes). Now start painting. I would highly encourage you to apply a thin layer of chalk paint for this acts as your primer. on your furniture.  Once your last coat of paint is dry, lightly sand with 400 grit sand paper then add your soft clear wax or lacquer. I thin my wax down with a smidge of mineral spirits so the wax goes on smooth and wasy. When applying the wax, load your rag or preferably your annie sloan paint brush sparingly and work quickly to get a thin coat.  When applying the dark wax alway apply the clear wax first or the dark wax will penetrate into your paint and it'll be uneven and hard to work with. Now while applying the dark wax I prefer to go light first then...

My Etsy Store

Welcome to my Etsy store  FarmHouseFare I opened my store Oct 17, 2013. I jumped in with both feet and started paddling hard. It's been a huge learning experience and a lot of fun, yet frustrating. Etsy has become like a family with so many great team mates and supporters, thank you. I will on occasion post new items but Etsy keeps me pretty busy so blogging gets put off till about never. Pop into Etsy and say Hi when you look around. I'm always adding and selling something new.  Mirrors are a favorite to make up and the cat seems to enjoy getting in my way as I take photos outside.  Shabby chic furniture is a favorite yet shipping is a bear.  Darling one of a kind find. I love this piece.  This pillow is what started it all. One of my first creations for Etsy and still a fave.  Wedding items are very popular so I have a large collection of bridal items.  That's it for now. Hope to see you soon.
