The Holiday Market

Very disappointing; and that’s all I’ll say.  I did make several sales, thanks to my friend, Sue; my daughter’s friend, Emily; the vendor across from us; and a woman who worked at the golf club.  So, I’ll be listing lots of things in my Etsy.  Some of them bigger than I normally would sell.

Some small items.

Maybe you will find just the right Christmas gift for someone on your list!

It was nice to spend the day with my daughter, though, and the surrounding vendors were all very friendly.    Now to get back to normal!

Pretty In Pink

I had this little rectangular basket under the sink in our guest bathroom to hold those little things that seem to accumulate.  When I added the storage drawers the other day {here}, I took it out and put it on the side until I figured out what to do with it.

While getting tags ready for the holiday market, I put them in there temporarily and they fit perfectly!   I thought it would be a good idea to bring it with me.

Not wanting to use it in its plain, natural look, I decided to give it a coat of some watered down Antoinette chalk paint.

A little seam binding and some bling and I have another little storage piece!

Cost = $0.00, since I already had everything on hand!

This Is It!

Well, it’s here!  The Holiday Market I am doing has finally arrived.  Tomorrow I will be at The Beavercreek Golf club with my daughter all set up with my wares.  I’m anxious and excited at the same time.

I’d love it if, you are in the area, you come on by and say “Hi!”.   This will be a great opportunity to get some holiday gifts, too.  I hope to walk around and do a little shopping myself while I’m there.  I will also hopefully get some pictures of my booth before the doors open and share them with you next week.   Wish me luck!

Bathroom Vanity Organizing

My son is due back for a visit for Thanksgiving and this is just the push I need to pay some attention to the guest bathroom.   This bathroom vanity has two doors, no drawers.

I read Marty’s post about how she used organizers to better utilize this space in her bathroom.  And really, it does wind up being under-utilized because the height is there, but how do you take advantage of it?  Ours was not in bad shape, it just had no organization to it and, since this is the bathroom my son uses when he visits, I thought it would be nice to get it neat, functional and organized.

That’s how it looked before.  While out one day, I was by Target and decided to pop in and get some drawer organizers.

I wasn’t able to use all three large drawer pieces under the sink {pipes}, but I was able to fit two.  The other one found its way into the linen closet.  I put all my son’s stuff in one drawer. In another drawer I put some of the granddaughter’s things.  On occasion she sleeps over and I have her bath things and a toothbrush.  I labeled these drawers.

The other drawers came in handy for the hundreds of hotel bottles and soaps my husband brings home from his business trips.  I labeled that drawer “Guest Services”.  “Drugstore” is band-aids and medical related needs.

I think this better utilizes this space and organizes it better, too.  All that height was going to waste!  Thanks to Marty for getting me moving on this!
