Betsy's Antique Booth


If you aren't on Instagram, you might be wondering what has been keeping
me so busy!  Well, at the end of last November I rented half of a booth at
an antique mall.  It was so much fun that I expanded to a full sized booth
last week.  Lots of work but a great way to enlarge what I already do
on etsy....sell vintage and antique items.  

I'm also finding it's a great way to pare down my growing personal collections
of lovely things. (because you can't keep it all, right? haha)
 And it's a creative outlet in painting furniture.  I loved doing that
blue buffet and a few other pieces that aren't featured in this photo.

  1. It is SO good to have you back in the blogging world again. I am thrilled beyond words that you did so well with half a booth at the antique mall that you were able to increase your space! You have it arranged so beautifully, Betsy. I know you will have no problem with things selling...lots of pretties for the eyes to feast upon. And, as I recently have been going through the house doing some decluttering I have to agree with you totally...we can't keep everything! :) xx

  5. There is just something special about having your own little space. Like a cute little shop. It all looks so nice. I've been cleaning out the sewing room today and could almost open a tiny shop with half of what's in there. :)

  6. Hey, that looks fab! Well done. So pleased for you. I have missed your blog posts. Hoped it wasn't illness that was keeping you away, yours or anyone else's. The booth is a much more enjoyable reason.

  10. Hi Betsy. I knew you were up to something truly wonderful. Your Booth is so YOU! and if I were closer you would be one of my favorite spots to visit. You have such a touch for displaying yor goodies. You have been missed. I think of you, the mister, the boys and your dil. You took a place in our hearts that will always be there so it's so nice to know you were not gone because of illness or something bad. Love and Hugs.
