Love my new spot in the Annex!

Hello,

I absolutely love, love, love my new spot in the Annex at Antique World Mall. It's the perfect size. I even love the background color (brown) and the pink chippy cement floor. I hung (or should I say my sweet hubby hung) two sparkly chandeliers (from Home Depot-they look old but are new and were only $68.00 ea) and added a black scroll border. These pics didn't turn out great, but I couldn't wait any longer to share them with you. I hope you stop by to check-out my petite booth as well as all the other great vendors in the Annex.








Shabby wicker laundry basket, "His" & "Hers" pretty pillowcases, and white chalkboard.

Looks like I had way too much caffeine when I took this shot!

Adorable red child's tricycle

Pink birthday plates and napkins are so charming!




Block letters spell, "Paris". Wish I was there!
Take care,

Di

Move to the Annex!

Hello,


It's always good to make a change: new hairdo, new room color, new man (except in my case-I've got a keeper). Realizing my own limitations of working full-time, trying to self-publish a Children's book with my Mother, taking care of my family, and my inability to successfully clone myself, I recently decided to downsize my large booth at Antique World Mall.

To my delight, when I approached Sue (the fabulous owner of the mall) and hesitantly told her of my plans, she had the perfect petite spot in the Annex available. The Annex, "features antiques and vintage treasures, painted furniture, shabby chic, and many unique items. The Annex is a fun place to shop for distinctive home decor and imaginative gifts," I quote the website. I absolutely adore The Annex and was thrilled to become a part of it! My area is the small "nook" located in the back hallway by the emergency exit (hopefully, it won't take an emergency to get you to visit my booth).

I'm not quite ready to share pics yet as I've got some sparkly chandeliers to hang this weekend to complete the booth. But I did want to share some pics of my new, favorite family at the mall. They own, "Shabby Attic Furniture" (see link on the right) and have the front part of the Annex as well as one (or more) of the rooms. Their adorable painted furniture, nick-nacks, and treasures always make me smile. I also met, Diane or "Red" (named for her pretty red hair) whose booth, "Boutique Rousse" specializes in vintage dresses, gowns, sparkly shoes, and jewelry (see link on the right). I love her booth and have posted pics of it in the past.

Here's some of "Shabby Attic's Furniture" for your viewing pleasure.









Hope to see you there soon!
