WHAT I MADE THIS WEEKEND AND NEW SHOP ITEMS

Hello friends!  I hope you all had a beautiful weekend.
June is coming up fast, and I'm quickly preparing to open up my very own brick and mortar (or should I say tent and table) at the Des Moines Waterfront Farmers Market !

So here is what I made this weekend!

My shop sign!!  I found this old busted window frame in a back alley close to where I work. My husband and mother in law helped me find a backing for it and paint it with chalk board paint.  There you have it!  Now everyone at the market will know who I am!  Oh, I also found that fun art easel in the dumpster! Just added a few coats of yellow spray paint and BAM!  Really! The excellent junk people throw in the dumpster!
.
Also new to the shop this week is some shabby burlap bunting banners!
With a quote from one of my favorite Beatles songs.
Love, Love me do!


I will be adding this to MY ETSY SHOP in the next few days so make sure to look for it.
Remember, if you want a banner made with a quote that's personal to you, feel free to message me and I will be happy to make you a custom order.  All of my burlap has been treated and will not fray what so ever.
.
Do any of you have some ideas for fun short quotes to put on bunting banners?
I need ideas!

CHEERS!
