Sunday will mark eight months since I first moved in to my rented space down at Sweeten Creek Antiques. Let me just say that as I drove toward home on that move in day,
I was absolutely scared to death.
What if I suck?
What if nobody likes my stuff?
What if I have to tuck my tail between my legs and take all of this stuff back to my house?
So I stayed away for probably a good two or three weeks. Then, real casual like I stuck my head in there about 5 minutes before closing one evening. Those days my shop was all the way in the back, so that was a LONG walk for a girl who was nervous as hell. As I rounded the last corner before my shop was actually in site I very quickly glanced in it’s direction.
I could see HOLES everywhere!
For the past nine months my sales have grown steadily, each month a little better than the last. Then last month was substantially better. This is my first Summer as a vender down at Sweeten Creek and apparently it’s real BUSY. I’m struggling a bit to keep my little shop full and fluffy.
Good problem to have.
Yesterday I hauled two Jeep loads down there and actually spent time in my shop styling and photographing it. I hadn’t done that in quite a while. The shop really needed the attention plus I really enjoyed it. I also got to chat a little with a few shoppers and that was a bonus!
Here’s how it looked when I left it:
Yep.
I’ve crammed it full!
I decided to go ahead and paint the little mirror that came with this dresser I finished a week or so ago.
Have a great weekend!

I wish I lived closer to your shop! I see two candle pillars that I would grab quick! And I love that you painted the mirror that goes over that dresser. It's so cute & versatile now!! Good luck with future sales.
Awesome!! Love your space, wish I was close!!
Your space looks great. It is an up and down business in my area
So cute! My daughter would love to have the Eiffel Tower Screen in the back! So glad you are doing well!
