An Epiphany! or wait ~ was it just Pinterest?





I found the trunk last weekend at the Salvation Army and I was so happy, I about peed myself.  {channel Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, after seeing the Opera.  Yes.  I was just about that happy}  I had to Have it. And I knew that it Had to be incorporated into my 10 foot wide by 6 feet deep holiday bazaar space that I am participating in November 3rd.

My mind has been conjuring and storing random tid bits of what I wanted my selling space to look and feel like.  and then, yesterday, I was hit upside the head with an Epiphany.  Well, it was either an Epiphany, or a luckily timed cruise through pinterest where I saw a pallet headboard and the Vision was found, and the rest is what you see above.  Although, in between the rest, I had to run as fast as I could past Rhett thinking it was a bad idea, hurdle over a male co-worker trying to convince me cardboard would work just the same + be way easier [Men], throw myself as hard as I could into charming a man with a truck to let me borrow it for 35 + 25 minutes so I could go secure myself some pallets, and pierce a dagger through my fatigue to get 'er done.  But I did it.  And I'm damn glad I did. :) Still much to do, but I am loving where it is going..

If you have any suggestions, likes, don't likes, please do let me know!
Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.  XO  -m-

Curtain Rod Fabric Organizer: genius!?





Now I'm sure this has been done before, but I'm feeling just a little smirk'ishly genious about myself, and I'm feeling REALLY satisfied and happy deep down inside over the solution I put into action yesterday to organize my fabrics.  Previous to the installation of the $11.99 Curtain Rod from Ross, my fabrics were Everywhere and giving me fits.  I wanted to see them, touch them, be able to stand back and look at them, AND I really wished to be able to hang them to avoid creases and wrinkles.  Curtain Rod, clasps taken off of plastic hangars (original use was for pants hangars), and that's it!  The black clamps came out of a bag of clamps I bought at Home Depot for $6.99.  Granted, this is the first time I've had a room dedicated just to crafting/designing, so this may not work for everyone, but what do you say, Genius?!
