My New Adventure!

Love a new adventure! My friend and business owner in Philipsburg  MT has given me a section of her shop to display and sell my stuff! I have had this desire and passion to start re-purposing items I've collected over the years whether it be from estate sales, antique shops, thrift stores, garage sales, etc. 


I have named myself "Attic Charm". A lot of old re-purposed items with a little bit of charm added. I set up this Saturday...have purchased a wonderful distressed display piece of furniture, along with two other display pieces I already have. Having so much fun creating, who knew I would enjoy this type of art.




Glitter, sparkle, Glitter sparkle, Glitter sparkle...anyone! I just love the glitter jars I've pinned on Pinterest and started created my own.





Old lamp shades....well I had just a few hanging around down in the basement, so I purchased white & natural burlap, along with ALL the old linens and lace I've collected over the years and whaaa laaaa....I recovered these shades to sell.




Tags anyone?  Had fun creating and designing these tags, fun stamps, old buttons, old lace, burlap, and lots of glitter.  Selling them and using them as my price tags.

Plan to sell small pieces of furniture, side tables, chairs, etc...will repaint and distress.

My business arrangement with my friend is perfect for me....no pressure....no space rent....she will take a very fare percentage of my sales. All I have to do is create, and sell. I have always wanted to do this and maybe someday have my own shop, this is the best way to get my feet wet and see what the future holds in this industry for me.

So blessed!!!!
