Hico

We made it to Hico and are ready for customers! I am too tired to describe any pics,
so you are on your own....
The lighting made my photos a little blurry. I will take more
photos tomorrow of it all and other great booths too.





Hope you can come by and visit!

Hints of Hico

The staging of a show is crazy, but it is something I have to do before hand to see how everything will play together. I marked out the size of my space for the Hico Antique Show in my garage. Then I started playing. I wanted to see how it would all look and also if it would fit in a 12' X 15' space. Oh, and not to forget the 5' x 8' trailer. I think Mr. Ella has a shrinking machine hidden somewhere, because someway, somehow he jams it all in our tiny trailer. It may not even be Halloween yet, but Ella is decorating for Christmas in Hico!
I hope to see you there...

Industrial Chic

In the past when someone would ask me what my decorating style was I would fumble around with words trying to explain my look. I have now decided to call it Industrial Chic. 
A mix of metals stirred up with a touch of crusty chippy pieces.

 I love to think of ways to take ordinary utilitarian objects and give them a new life and purpose.

 Mr. Ella brings in a softer edge with bold
architectural elements.
We are having so much fun with this style because it just brings a new meaning to recycling.
Bringing the old into the future. 
I love it...
See ya next time and have a great week!

Hico - Here we come!!

 Mr. Ella and I are gathering our goods to take to the Homestead Antique Fair at the end of this month.  A hint of what we will be selling has to do with my new obsession. Triangles. Last year it was circles. This year I am still loving all things round, but seem to be pulled toward anything that has a triangle shape.

 I found these old factory molds and thought they looked like Christmas trees.
Can you see it?
