Popular Post scrollerpete Posted November 6, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Just to reiterate, I decided to have my own crafts show in my garage where I live. We are a community of 185 double bungalows all retired people and I decided to get rid of some of my inventory. It will be held tomorrow between 10 and 2.00. Here is a video of my set up. namunolie, RabidAlien, frankorona and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 Good luck for tomorrow. You have a terrific display and a great assortment of items. Can I ask where you got a couple of the patterns from, the candle in the holder in the first photo and the red bells in the second photo, I really like both of them.

Red bells pattern is from Alex Fox on Etsy, the candle in the holder (trivet/plaque) will have to search a little bit more. wombatie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrollerpete Posted November 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 Well it is all over, great turn out beautiful day for us at this time of the year, low 70. I sold my sugar bush marquetry for the asking price and made over $1200 on the day. Now I have room to store more crafts for next year and buy more wood. wombatie, Jim McDonald, meflick and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well my accountant(wife) made a mistake and after a recount we sold for $1368 and have others for additional $60. meflick and wombatie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of it, between what I cut in Florida during the winter and at home during the rest of the year. The sugarbush marquetry was done at least 20 years ago. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
