New Booth and a New Look at the Depot
After one year at the Depot, Becky and I are happily keeping our current booths, but I am branching out with a new look and another booth, located in the main room at the Depot.
I have been stockpiling and collecting pieces for my new industrial style with a French flair. I hope to sell more painted and upholstered furniture pieces, as well as my lamps.
So far the response has been very positive and I feel really good about this new direction.
While shopping at some of my favorite places like Antiques on Main in West Jefferson, Clines Antiques in Mt. Pleasant, the monthly Metrolina Flea Market, the bi-annual Antique Festival in Liberty and of course, the Depot, I have found many great items to include in my new booth. Especially love the large green German Demijohn bottle in it's own wooden crate and the round ottoman with the swiveling top.
Putting together a new booth is both exhausting and rewarding....building walls, assembling the fantastic industrial shelving I luckily found in Salisbury, NC. Thank goodness my wonderful husband and helper, Dick, was there to help with the hard stuff. We are both very happy with the results.
I love having still another reason to go to estate sales, visit my favorite antique stores, malls and flea markets, looking for really unusual items to add to my booths. Can't wait for the November extravaganza at Metrolina. There are always great dealers and great deals to be had. Especially love the booths that only show up for these special events.
Hope you enjoy the pictures and that you will come visit the Depot soon.

Hi Nancy,
ReplyDeleteI bought two lovely pillows made from old linens out of your booth today. Was wondering if you sell on line? It was a 3 hour trip to come to the Depot but had been wanting to come & check it out.
