I’ve been a bit quiet online this week, but please don’t mistake my silence for rest.
I have been BUSY.
This week, I set myself an aggressive to-do list to help me restock my booth at TN Flea and get ready for some big vendor events coming up—not to mention the holidays.
I’m happy to announce that I tackled just about EVERYTHING on that list: cutting, drilling, sanding, polishing, bending, assembling, creating, organizing… you name it. Note: some of these items will be available at TN Flea, Antiques & Collectibles or my vendor events. I’ll just have A LOT more to choose from now!
And when I say I literally bled, sweat, and cried during this project, I am not being dramatic. My thumb is currently all gnarly and scabbed up thanks to a renegade fork and the drill press this morning. Apparently, the silverware has decided to fight back!
I’m officially tired, my hands are wondering what on earth I did to them, and my workshop looks like creative chaos… although I did manage to tidy things up a bit this afternoon.
There are still a couple of things waiting on supplies that are currently making their way to me in the mail, but we’re not going to let minor details ruin this moment. There are a handful of 2-piece bracelets and guardian angel visor clips that will need some additional attention in the coming days. No biggie.
For now, I’m celebrating getting a whole lot of beautiful, unique items made and feeling much more prepared for the upcoming BIG vendor shows on my calendar and holiday season. Time to relax with a glass of wine! I deserve it!
