Hootenanny & Scatter Fall Gift Show

Last week I joined up with a friend and her new business, Scatter, and we hosted a trunk show displaying Hootenanny and Scatter items.  We wanted to help give local residents a kick off to the holiday shopping season.  We now have just a little over 50 shopping days left until Christmas…ugh!  We had a great turnout and consider it a successful show. I thought I would post some photos to show my viewers some of the items that we offered.

NEW HOOTENANNY DISTRESSED FRAME STYLE

Over the past several weeks we've been busy working and creating to get prepared for our upcoming Fall trunk show, as well as, ship out wholesale and Etsy orders.  Somehow in the middle of it all we managed to come up with several new frame designs.  When things slow down, the new frame styles and designs will be added to our website and Etsy site for ordering.

Here's a peak at one of the new styles...

ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS



Rock, Paper, Scissors style frame...10x10 photo opening...8 inch width frame adorned with 2 spindles





HAVE WE LOST OUR MINDS

If you were to come to my house these days, you would feel like you were at the zoo.  We have construction taking place upstairs above the garage, fabrics and idea books scattered all over with ideas for the new teen addition and a nursey for our new arrival, as well as, Hootenanny projects and orders in every other available space.  Taking on all of these projects during the third trimester of pregnancy was probably not a good idea!  We are finally seeing the end of the new addition in sight.  

We are moving our teenage daughter into this new addition and then we will start working to transform her old room into the new nursery.  I'm posting some before construction photos when the space was our attic storage and photos of the room drywalled prior to any painting/wallpaper...those will come soon.  I'm going to need some help from you as I decide what type of window treatments to put in this room...blinds, roman shades, long panels, a cornice?  I want to try to make the window look bigger than it is (my teenager wants blackout shades??). I am also going to make two to three Hootenanny frames (of course) for this room, so once we get the wallpaper hung and painting completed I'll need some input...I'm thinking either Chevron striped frames or the popular Ikat print...maybe a mixture of both!

Before construction...you should have seen it when we used it as our storage...what a mess!



After...the construction crew had just left...we have carpet now and are almost done with the touch-up painting and baseboards...wallpaper this week

Stay tuned...

Tornado Trash 2 Treasure

I just turned in some items I’ve been working on for the upcoming Tornado Trash 2 Treasure charity auction on Thursday, October 16, 2011 at 6pm.  If you live in the Auburn-Opelika, Alabama area you should definitely make an effort to purchase a ticket and show your support.  Jonna Chizik recovered items (or trash) destroyed in the Alabama tornados earlier this year.  These items have now been revived by many Alabama artists for others to enjoy.  All items will be auctioned off and proceeds will directly benefit the children and families in the Dadeville area who were affected by the April 27 tornadoes.  For more information go to http://www.allinforyourturn.com/. 

I’m so excited about being a part of this event.  I look forward to seeing all the hard work the other artists put into each piece, as well as seeing the good that comes from the hard work leading up this this event.  Such a great way to give back to our community!

Always eat standing up…

ROOM WORTHY FRAMES

I love the neutral color decor these days. I can't get enough of this neutral, so I decided to paint my master bedroom light gray (Revere Pewter) with a dark gray ceiling (photos to come).  However much I may love the new neutrals, I am still a color lover at heart and will always feel the need to add a splash of color to a room.  I’ve paired up some neutral rooms with Hootenanny distressed frames.

This fabulous entryway paired with a 10x10 Hootenanny Smitten frame in Boy Named Sue blue with Love Shack green trim 

*****************************************************

I want to copy this great keeping area for my own house...

paired with 2 5x7 Hootenanny Moon Pie Frames in Eye of the Tiger orange with Love Shack green trim

THIS FRAME IN THAT ROOM...

I've got nursery design on the brain these days...I love all types of nursery design ideas...modern, frilly, vintage, Parisian, etc...it's going to be hard to narrow down all the choices when the time comes.  I love this distressed hootenanny frame for a nursery accessory...

I had some teenage girls help me design the color scheme for this one...they did a good job, didn't they?

I would love to see it in this nursery...

With these fabulous accessories...

The cream and white are so peaceful...but of course, you need splashes of color to finish it off...and framed photos of your precious little one...
