BEHIND THE SCENES

Behind the scenes is the update post for my blog

“Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” Dr. Maya Angelou

Beautiful spirit, I am still here. When you are doing everything yourself, it’s not always easy to check off everything on the list. Nevertheless here is the behind the scenes deets.

My husband and I went to Yokoso Japanese Restaurant and I decided to try the seaweed salad. It was delicious! I highly recommend you try this nutty-flavored (from the sesame seed oil) deliciousness! Whether you go to Yokoso or another Asian restaurant, try it and let me know what you think.

Delicious seaweed salad with cucumbers from Yokoso Restaurant in Summerville.

In addition to eating Japanese food, I’ve been working on pieces for my booth. I am happy to report, I’m gaining a little traction! People are finding me, and thank you for sharing!

I don’t know if you remember, but my trays were red and green, and they weren’t selling, so I decided to redo them. As you can see, I painted them white, and I decoupaged one. I think overall it came out pretty well, but it’s hard work. And I have to perfect this skill. It is not as easy as it looks!

I am also close to finishing the valet which is in the middle picture. I have distressed it, and need to get the excess paint off the metal pieces. I will show the finished product once it’s complete.

Green tray that's in the process of being painted white along with a valet that will be distressed and sold in GEM Designs, LLC booth at Antiques & Artisans, 619 Trolley Rd, Summerville in the room with the large Christmas tree.
The beginning…
The process with the tray and valet
The next step.

The picture below shows some of the newest items in the booth. If you have a nautical theme, or you love fish, you need the piece in the picture. I’ve since taken the brown table out and painted it, and will be putting it back in my booth as a display item. The vase is great for spring. Are you excited about Spring cleaning?

The two chairs shown would be a great addition as stand-alone pieces or accompanied by a table, or desk. The possibilities are always endless, as it is a matter of “your” vision.

Distressed white chair, large metal fish, small brown table, small distressed shelf and floral arrangements ready for purchase at Antiques & Artisan's, 619 Trolley Rd, Summerville.  These items are for same by GEM Designs, LLC and are located in the room with the large Christmas tree.
These items are ready for you to purchase. 🙂

There are so many new pieces in the booth, that you have to go and check them out for yourself. I am also having a red dot sale in which anything with the red dot is 50% off. This sale is on while supplies last!

Now that you know what I’ve been up to, what have you been up to? Give us your behind-the-scenes deets. Have you started any new projects or ventures? Fill us in.

Until next time, as always, continue to be fabulous!

    I love seaweed salad. So nutritious! That tray is so cute! That’s a very great idea painting leaves on there. It’s a gentle little pop of color.
