Open for Business!

3 days of pricing and tagging,
hammering and hanging,
and floofing and fluffing...

OPEN FOR BUSINESS!

I am so excited!





Heaven's Walk is now officially a booth at Doster Emporium!




The Emporium is located in an old grain & lumber mill in the small, quaint, rural town of Doster.




The Emporium is quite an historical building in the area.  Georgina, who owns it with her husband, has books filled with original orders from grain and lumber customers handwritten in their beautiful, old script.
Old photos of past owners and family members are framed and hung on the walls.
There's even some of the original mechanisms located in the center of the shop where you can see where the grain was poured from.

 







You can take a walk around the beautiful property on a path Georgina created and lined with wildflowers and vintage railroad memorabilia.





There's even a cute little outhouse on the property that Georgina remodeled all by herself.
She's very smart like that, and is such a dear heart!




Georgina said I was "in my element" as I transformed my little white room
into a sweet, cozy, and welcoming French-Nordic atmosphere for this season's customers.
It actually gave me the same feeling of contentment that fluffing my house does.
Unpacking boxes and boxes of goodies,
moving things around (more than once),
tucking things here and there,
and then standing back and sighing contentedly.

Now I understand why all of you gals out there who have had booths for so long
love it so!

I'm praying that this new venture will be profitable,
and most importantly ~
fun!

{It definitely gives me an excuse to hit the yard sales, flea markets, and thrift stores more often,
doesn't it?}

Here are quite a few some
photos of my booth.
  
{Grab yourself cup of coffee,
or if it's after 12 noon -
a glass of wine...}




Update on the Heaven's Walk sign:  It's now up on the wall!



I love making these topiaries!










This rocker was my first attempt at upholstering (with a handmade faux grain sack). The end table is a ReStore transformation.



The French lamp was another ReStore transformation.






The "seaside" corner.










Yep, I had an extremely busy and productive winter
with my Annie Sloan chalk paint, paint brushes, Mod Podge, stencils, and a continuing love/hate relationship with my sewing machine.
Ninety percent of everything you see here was transformed in one way or another by the waving of my magic wand ~

and all of the inspiration came from YOU, my beloved blog friends.
YOU fed my creativity.


So, there you have it.
My new little piece of heaven!

 
If you're in the area,

Ok...just ignore the dorky outfit.  I was wearing my work clothes...and freezing!
