The Petticoat Saloon at Molly Mo's Antique Faire

Another great show by Diane of Molly Mo's has come and gone, and I am so happy to have been part of it!
Since my original plan was to simply showcase my Cowgirl Canteens, I stuck with the Petticoat Saloon theme!
I went with a color scheme of pink, red and black...
and had fun with splashes of color on the lighting.
This ragamuffin lamp shade was super easy to do (aside from the fact that I gave myself my worst glue gun burn to date-OUCH).

These chairs are some that I have been holding onto for some time now. They got a fresh coat of glossy black paint, and some pink vinyl seats!
And of course in my chaotic state of preparation, I left my camera in the wrong truck the morning of the show...lucky for me, two other vendors, and my phone's camera came to the rescue!
We had cowgirl bling...
boots...

and Poker!

This beauty hung above the poker table in the gazebo.

Hats
Belts
And a bar!
I had so much fun setting up for this show.
I couldn't serve any alcohol, but what's a bar without drinks???
I decided to make sweet tea (a nod to my southern mother), and serve it in souvenir mason jars. The perfect addition for a 90*+ day!
I know I've said it before on here, but I have the best sister ever!
She is so supportive of my crazy passions, and is always right there beside me on sale days.
No matter how early I ask her to be awake and ready, she comes with a smile on her face. She makes me laugh, wears whatever I ask her to, and helps me lift heavy things...
See her there behind the bar?
Isn't she cute?


Thanks to all of you who came out.
Like always, I met some great new people, connected with old friends,
and had a Wonderful time!

Molly Mo's Sneak Peek

Molly Mo's is less than a week away and this Farrier's Daughter has kicked it into high gear getting ready to present the Petticoat Saloon!
What was supposed to be a low key, simple, half-booth to highlight my Cowgirl Canteens has turned into my outlet for selling off all of the treasures that I've been storing at my parents barn.
Two full days in the sun were spent sanding, painting and scraping.
I hope there are some college girls in need of some apartment decor, because I have painted everything in black, red, and pink...and the best part, prices will reflect the fact that I need to get rid of this stuff!
I've got dressers, table & chair sets (that would also make a super cute Bunko Table), beds, chandeliers, pillows, jewelry, and yes...Cowgirl Canteens.
What girl doesn't need a super cute, girlie flask???

Look for the pink bar at Molly Mo's this weekend.
We'll be serving up some of Mom's Sweet Tea in souvenier Mason Jars!
