~fieldstone : fabulous, fun, freezing....~

Well peeps, I would have had this post up earlier if my fingers weren't frozen...

Just kidding, kinda:-) It has seriously taken me several days to thaw out!

Fieldstone Christmas market was great, you have to really admire us northern gals who set up an outdoor market in close to freezing temperatures!

But then I especially admire the wonderful shoppers who came out to shop the market, a big thanks to each of you who stopped by to say hi.

We had a great cross section of vintage and handmade vendors, I'll post the link once the "official" photos are up. For now, here's a few shots of my wares.

Good sellers this time round were vintage kiddie skates, burlap garland,

small chalkboard frames

vintage sheet music ornaments

my stencilled glass dome servers

as well as my vintage style white trees, they were so much work they deserve a post of their own soon!

Have you ever made white trees? I'd love to know!

~fabulous fieldstone~

well the fieldstone vintage market was just as fab as we'd hoped

we were blessed with a balmy summer's day once the fog burned off

and the collection of vendors were awesome, WISH i had had time to shop!!!

i didn't have a chance to get around and take photos of the other booths, but there are lots of photos posted by other vendors and visitors at the market

i just have some of my booth to share with you....

{try and ignore the writing on the tent, unfortunately there weren't enough white tents for us all}

a large chalkboard at the entrance, i meant to get back there and write something a little more inspiring, oh well, you know how it is! i loved the petticoat hanging there, it was part of my "decor" but i did sell it to a gal who wanted it real bad!

in the back corner you can see the rusty old screen i set up and i draped a loooong swag across the corner too

other than that i kept it pretty simple

lots of vintage goodies

rusty old birdcage on my paris bench, cast iron bathtub feet

the vintage wooden rolling pins were a hit! i had so many they just had to go...

i stencilled "paris" onto this chair, it looked really neat

it was painted with ASCP old white

had a lot of fun with my stencils actually....

kiddie chairs and rockers were a big hit

cute wicker picnic hamper

sold lots of frames and chalkboards

repurposed glass bottles au paris

love them

hey, did i even keep one for myself??

gonna have to check my boxes!

blue mason jars were a hot seller, kept my own collection of them safe at home!

pillows weren't such a hot seller this market, but they looked neat in my booth, loving the french grainsack look, the striped one at the back I hand-painted, maybe I'll have to put a tutorial together, such an easy way to get the french grainsack look

i used ruffled bedskirts on the tables

~thanks, i thought it was pretty genius too~

and how cute are these film reels hanging in the corner

finally i wanted to show you my awesome banner that sweet Janis of rust and ruffles put together for me in a crunch

 isn't it gorgeous!!

well hope you liked the tour of my booth! i sure was happy to come home without any of the furniture i hauled out there! this was the first time i have done an outdoor market, it was a huge job and the morning fog was challenging as we tried to keep everything dry. if i do anything on this scale again, i definitely will take a partner along to share the load and so i can go SHOP!!

thanks to all the fantastic shoppers and bloggers who came out to visit the market

hope you had a fun weekend!
