Headed Down To #Booth 31 Today

So we headed down to #Booth 31 @ the Wetumpka Flea Market and Antiques, 5266 US Highway 231, Wetumpka, AL 36092 today.  We had some new product to display and Al made some GREAT crates out of pallet wood for our booth. He is happy to make some for you as well! ;)

We moved a lot of stuff around and made some extra room for the new products.  It's been a lot of fun and we think it turned out pretty good, but we have a lot more work to do. :D

We would love to have you stop and visit us at the Wetumpka Flea Market and Antiques, 5266 US Highway 231, Wetumpka, AL 36092. #Booth 31!

But don't just stop by our booth!!  Visit the many wonderful booths on display and head across the street for a donut and a cup of coffee before taking your treasures home!  Thanks again for stopping by!

About a year ago....

A little over a year ago my husband and I decided we needed to do something with our extra time.  He was and is, a builder and I enjoy crafting, as you may know, if you have followed this blog.

We had recently moved to a new area, Wetumpka Alabama!  What a quaint and rural little town.  Country living, but not too far from civilization. After all, you still need to get to the market every now and then. :D

We both had our hobbies that we enjoyed, but didn't know what to do with all of our creations.  We found that others had the same ideas and creativity, and utilized flea markets, craft events, and local Antique/Flea market booths to share their wares.

Wanting to be part of the community, we decided to rent a little booth at the Wetumpka Flea Market and Antiques, 5266 US Highway 231, Wetumpka, AL 36092 #Booth 31.  We found that the people there, were genuine, helpful, and kind.  It's a win-win!   

Here's a quick peak at the #Booth 31:

If you get a chance, please stop by and see us at the Wetumpka Flea Market and Antiques, 5266 US Highway 231, Wetumpka, AL 36092!

Hope to see you there!

Sweet Home Designs: Two New Items to Share

Sweet Home Designs: Two New Items to Share

Two New Items to Share

Great NEWS!!  I sold one of my super cute Country Chic Decor Mason jars.  Not to worry though, I added another one today! :D

These jars are a fantastic addition to any decor.  They just add the right "at home" touch.  Flowers will come with the jar!

The second item is this adorable Country Chicken Memo Board.  This is a small 7 x 7 inch board, which will fit wonderfully in a narrow wall area, on a shelf, or table top.  What a cute gift for the special chicken loving friend.  :D

The little "memo" stamps on the front are removable so that you can add you own messages of love.

Thank you for stopping by Sweet Home Designs!  Hope to hear from you soon!

Blessings and love!!

It's Time to Dust Off...

...the key board and get back into blogging.  So much has happened since I've last posted to this blog.  My emotions are all over the board, happy, excited, sad, scared, anxious....you know what I mean ;)

Most importantly, I have opened my Etsy Shop "Sweet Home Designs" again.  We were in the process of moving and I've been unable to get the shop up and running until now.  My husband has retired and we are on a very fixed income.  Here's hoping that I'm able to add a little to the budget through the shop.

Here are a couple of items I recently listed:

I'm still working on my cards and other similar items...I've also added a wreath to the mix. :D

I hope you'll stop by and visit the shop.  I'll be adding more items daily.  Maybe, you'll find something you can't live without!! :D

Hope to see you soon!  Blessings from Sweet Home Designs!

Sweet Cottage Chic Birdhouse Set from Sweet Home Designs on Etsy

I just added another set to the Sweet Homes Designs Shop on Etsy!  It sort of reminds me of something with a Nordic cottage flair.  I used a punch to give the roof line a little texture and I think it gave it a gingerbread house feel.

This particular offering is a set.  I added the little "flower pot" votive to it so that the two pieces can be used together or separately.  They can be given as individual gifts or you can keep them for yourself, to be used as a centerpiece assortment, mantel display, or a shelf display.  Wherever you use them, I hope you're delighted!

As always, thank you for stopping by the blog today and I hope you'll take a moment to check out my sale at Sweet Home Designs on Etsy!

Have a blessed day!

Teddy Bear Picture from Sweet Home Designs

Hello everyone,

I've added a Teddy Bear Picture to the Sweet Home Designs Etsy Shop!  I thought it turned out pretty cute and I wanted to share it with you here. 

The colors are predominantly blues and greens, which would make it perfect for a boys room or nursery.  With that said, I love it for a little girl as well!  I think it could go either way!

 

I've placed it on a shelf here with a couple of my other SALE items.  I thought it would be fun to show them together!  I apologize for the glare on the glass, it's really hard to photograph.

 

I'm also offering customization for an additional fee.  Maybe a name or the date of birth, etc.

Thank you for taking the time with me today!

Magnolia Market Opens!

One of my favorite shows on television is "Fixer Upper" with Chip and Joanna Gaines!  I love everything about this couple!  I love their style, their love for each other, and their faith in a magnificent Lord!

Well, she's been working on opening her store called Magnolia Market and it's finally happened!  Not only does it have a physical local, but it also has an online market as well.

Per her style, it's comfortable, homey living at it's best!

 Take a moment to look over all she has to offer...enjoy the quiet peacefulness of the decor.

Joanna and Chip give so much of themselves to everything they do and you can see it in every piece that has been selected for her shop!  Just lovely!

Remember the "I Love You tot he Moon and Back" episode?  Every aspect of the homes they design seem to fit perfectly for those they are designing for!

Shop until you drop and as always...BE BLESSED!

When Showers Come Often Times Flowers Grow

I remember when I was a little girl I'd sing a little song:

Rain, rain
Go away
Come again another day.
Rain, rain
Go away
Little Johnny wants to play.

Do you remember feeling that way?  We always want the sun to shine and the rain to stop, but we often forget that without the rain there is no growth.  Sometimes, the things that bring us discomfort for a moment are the very things the Lord is going to use to bring us strength; to help us better understand the sorrow of others and to grow stronger in spite of our short lived "soggy" feeling.

For ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God;  HEBREWS 6:7

So remember, when a little rain comes your way, and you feel damp, cold, and sad.  God's purpose for the rain is to give you a rich blessing from above!  

Be blessed!

Sweet Home Designs Additions for Christmas

Hi everyone! I know it's not even Halloween, but if you're like me, you're already beginning to think about those Christmas gifts for the special people in your life. 

I added a couple of sets to the shop that I think would make great teacher, secret pal, mail person, neighbor type gifts.  The cost is low, so you won't break the bank, and I'm sure that you'll see a smile on their face when they open their adorable handmade items.

The set above is made in soft shades of browns and reds...definitely the feel of Christmas in a more country setting.  Below, is a more traditional Christmas set.  I added glitter and sparkle with truly Christmas reds and greens, so much fun!

 

Thank you for taking a moment to stop by Sweet Home Designs, where we say Merry Christmas and are happy to share your holidays as well!  God bless you and keep smiling!

Last Month's Vendor Fair Table

Last month I had the privilege of participating in a Vendor Fair!  I thought I would take a moment and share my table with you.  It was only a one day fair, but it gives you a good idea of the types of things I have available.

As you can see, we were at a facility that has a gym!  LOL!  The traffic at the fair was steady and they were delighted to see what I had to offer.

Did I mention that I do custom orders as well?!

Flowers Included, Special Offer Within!

We live in an era when everything seems to be paired down.  Pay more, get less.  You head to the grocery to pick up a few items and $100.00 later you walk out the door thinking, "What did I buy"?  You know how to shop carefully, but somehow the cost keeps creeping up higher and higher.

That's why, at Sweet Home Designs on Etsy, I try to keep my costs down, down, down...Currently, everything in the shop is under $20.00.  Why?  Because I believe that you have to be able to go somewhere and feel like you're getting a BUY!  :)

For instance, I just added the Country Chic Decor-Mason Jar for $8.50!  And yes, the flowers are included!

 

I hope you'll stop by Sweet Home Designs for a visit! Mention this post and I will give you an additional 50% off any purchase of equal or lesser value!  Happy Shopping!

Blessings!

Note Cards for the Shop

I decided it was time for me to get busy posting items to the shop!  I added these little note cards today.  I thought they turned out pretty cute and these are always fun to have around!  Quick notes of thanks, appreciation, or messages of love to share.

They come in a set of six and are handmade, one of a kind!  They make great gifts for teachers, mail personnel, secret pals, etc.

Let me know what you think and please take a moment to visit the shop!!
