WYLDE THYME Lifestyle-Home Comes to ETSY

When I started the blog about 6 weeks ago I intended it as part of a 3 pronged plan to start a new business venture.  I mentioned last week that I was opening a booth at a local flea market, Flamingo Island, in about a month.  I have spent much of the last 2 months getting things ready for the booth - hunting down treasures at garage sales and from Craig's List, refinishing and upcycling furniture and accessories, making pillows and painting decorative signs.

I have a lot of items ready to go, just sitting and waiting for the opening, so I decided to start an Etsy shop for the smalls to see if they generate any interest.  http://www.etsy.com/shop/WyldeThymeHome 

Yesterday I sold my first piece.  Yippee!  It was a vintage letter/key holder that hangs on the wall. I had refinished it in a lovely Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, duck egg blue, and embellished with a key motif.  I'm stoked and ready for more, so I added a few picture frames and some  coasters.  My pictures are still not so great.  I'm taking them with my Blackberry as I still haven't unearthed my camera.  Should be any day though - the addition is complete and we are just waiting for our certificate of occupancy.

Below are pictures of some of the Etsy items and a rocker I'm working on for the booth.  I was going to cut a circle in the plywood seat and drop in a flower pot, but now I'm thinking cushion.  Let me know what you think. :)

Happy Home - Happy Life
