"Charming Gardener", the booth version

*** Edited to add - my text is out of place, LOL.  I don't know what I've done, but no matter how many times I change it, it keeps rolling back to this.  So, bear with me.  But I think you'll get the idea.  Gah, I hate computers.  LOL. 

I wanted to add live ivy...but figured would be a pain to deal with, so I just did some fake plants and pots of flower's (but look real don't they?). And Target had some cute gloves and garden markers, so I threw those in as well for color and to give it an overall garden feel.

Here's the beaker collection. On top of the cake stand. I tied all the beakers together with a little garland that says "garden". I think the beakers make the cutest little bud vases. I like 'em grouped together. Would make a fun table center-piece.  I basically stole that idea from Laurie Anna's booth over in Canton.  Well, she didn't use the beakers, she used little flower vase, with cool old fashioned-tags that spelled out "Bloom".  Aren't the fake flowers cool?  They look more real in the photo than in person. LOL. 

Well, hope you enjoyed the tour of the front end of the booth.  I've got more goods coming.  I'm doing a "Door of Pam".  I've ordered lots of fun, framed prints from Pam at Blog Cabin Fever.   I think those will be so cute on one door (which is our wall really).  I can't hardly wait. 

Thanks for looking and Happy Wednesday!

Finally got my "junkin" goods into my booth. I was pretty happy with the way it turned out. Green and garden-y. I based it on a theme of the "charming gardener". One of my favorite sayings is this, "Let us be grateful to people who make us happy. They are the charming gardener's who make our soul's blossom."

I wanted it to have a sunshiny/green garden feel. I'm loving the black and green combo right now, but since the display we had in this spot preveiously was pretty dark and neutral, I wanted a little more color to this one. So I added some golds. Yellow and gold/gold. Like sunflowers.

Here's one of my hand-painted canvases with said-theme.

I was really happy with the way the paper frames turned out.  I have found lots of old metal and tin press door knob plates and I love the way they look on a frame. 

The little gold birds are actually the stores...but a few just happened to find their way into my booth.  Hmmmmm...wonder how that happened?  LOL!

I added an assortment of painted canvases, painted flower pots and embellished frames. I found the little gold birdhouse at Canton and added the word "nest" and the little painted nest.

Sherri brought in some wonderful hand towels and little pots filled with nests.
