A few weeks ago I participated in the Fort Worth Arts Goggle. It was a great learning experience to say the least. After weeks of preparation, time, sweat, and some tears, I was ready.
I was pretty pleased with the overall look of the booth, but the weather was gloomy and thus not a lot of people. It was fun hanging out with my friends the whole day though. My sister and a good friend of mine both participated and we all shared booth. Check out the pictures below. Remember, all of the items pictured are for sale, so leave a comment if you're interested!
I will be participating in some other local craft fairs in the upcoming weeks, stop by and say hello! Let me know what you think of it all in the comments below!
Happy Crafting!

Garage Sale Finds: Patio Table and Chairs
I was driving around town for work one day and passed this awesome looking garage sale. Normally I wouldn't have stopped since I was working and all, but I had to. I saw some amazing things (like a wickers dresser and singer sewing tables) but I couldn't take them all. This table and chairs struck my fancy though, and I had been looking for something for our patio!
The metal frame was (and still is) a bit distorted. That can be fixed though. The glass top was in great condition, and with a little TLC I knew I could get it looking great. In my excitement I forgot to take any pictures of it at the garage sale, bummer. I have a few from the before stages though.
The chair color is Green Apple in Satin, the table is Iced Gray also in satin. I got both of the spray paints at Home Depot. The fabric was a steal at JoAnn's, along with the foam used to make the cushions.
For the cushions, I just traced the wood seat bottoms onto the foam and cut it out, wrapped the fabric around and stapled it to the bottom. I might run into some issues if it rains, but we will see. My patio is covered so they shouldn't get too wet. If you have an uncovered patio I would suggest making the cushions detachable.
I just love the way it turned out. It is absolutely perfect! Let me know what you think by leaving a comment below! Also, check out my other patio make over from a few months ago!
