New Look For Owl Really: Stained Shelves!

Hang on, guys - something really exciting happened over the weekend!

I stained the "shelves" in my booth!

WOOO HOOO, exciting huh? :)

When I first moved into my booth, I didn't have shelves so I made some with wood from Home Depot and pegs... and a year and a half later, they were still there and looking pretty blah. Inspired by Mad Maine painting her booth last weekend, I decided to stain my wood shelves. 

In the photo below, you can see a stained shelf on top and an unstained one on the bottom.

I like them so much better stained! After this photo was taken, I switched out the bottom shelf for a stained one.

I worked on my booth both Friday and Monday afternoons... I think Friday's work really helped. When I checked on Friday, I had only sold enough to cover half my rent. When I checked today, I had far surpassed my rent thanks to selling the black fan! I knew breaking out one of the big guns would help!

 More to come this week about the booth and new items!

  2. Yay - and what a nice contrast to your white pegboard. I really like that rustic look. (Also, what a good idea that the shelves are removable!)
    Your blue bags are adorable grouped together btw (not sur I could NOT have bought one of those if I were browsing your booth). Thanks for the shout-out too :-)

  3. They look awesome! And congrats on selling the fan! I want to make the leap to selling in an antique booth sometime. I just worry I wouldn't make enough each month--but I'm wanting to do that more and more!
