So most of my furniture is gone now--that's a good thing, but I needed to make at least one new piece to take with me--so I did a table that I found this summer at the Highway 127 sale.
I really like how this vase of flowers turned out, so I'm planning to use this in a piece of artwork before I go.
And the one piece that didn't sell was this one--
which I didn't think would, and I'm really glad it didn't, because I have no idea how I would have filled up the big empty space it would have left. It's always good to have your booth pretty full especially at the start of the show. Now this weekend, if it sells, I'll be glad. I did have a lot of lookers, but no takers--so we'll see.....
But now, I have something that I can set on top of it--
This was one of the pieces that I was demonstrating with last week there. They're pretty strict about this aspect. For the most part of the show, you have to be demonstrating your art--they even go around to check that you are. And that's regardless of the weather. Last weekend was fine, and so far this weekend doesn't look too bad either but definitely cooler, and in the morning--cold!! But this year, I'll be a little more prepared. I purchased these-
from Theresa's (Faerie Moon Creations) Etsy shop--these very soft and warm fingerless gloves. I needed them in black so I contacted her and within 2 days, they were finished! And I LOVE them! If you have a chance, check out her store--along with being a very talented jewelry artist, she also has mixed media pieces ( a fellow Suzi Blu classmate of mine)
So after you visit Theresa's store, you can go over to Cathy's blog Artsy Butterfly for her very first giveaway. On of her many artistic talents is photography and she's giving away two 5 x 7 photos matted on an 8 x 10 glossy photo paper of these very cool photos that were taken at night. You'll just have to go over to her blog to see what I mean.
So I'll be leaving tomorrow morning again, and I'm hoping for another great weekend--keep your fingers crossed! And hey, if any of you bloggers out there want to visit me again, you'll know where to find me!

Love the new table, the vase of flowers is beutiful. So glad the show is going well. Oh how I wished I lived closer. You will need some much deserved rest after tis weekend.
Congrats on all the sales! :) Your work is amazing. I love this new flowers in the vase.
I can't believe you painted that vase of flowers in less than a week. It would have taken me a lifetime. I'm hoping for another good weekend for you with good weather, too. Have fun, too. Wish I liked closer. I'd be there, for sure.
I was one of the artists who had 4 days between a show and had them stacked up every weekend. It's the adrenaline that gets you through it. I hope this week show goes well. Those gloves are perfect for taking in all the money you will accumulating soon!
Table is really cool.
Love the table with the flowers. The flowers are gorgeous! I think when people do shows every weekend,they just gotta have alot of inventory so they don't have to do more in between show. Well good luck and stay warm,love those mittens.
amazing work,bravoo!!!
Big kisses.
Your box is going to look gorgeous on that table I love that handle i would never sell it either--love your vase of flowers on the little round table -Hope you have a lot of fun!!!! Sincerely, Jonny

Thanks for the shout out Diane!! Love your new piece! Good luck this weekend! I am sure you will do great once again! Have fun! :)
Beautiful new table, Diane, and the box to match your other table ~~ I love it! What a great piece to demonstrate with. Now you've got me wondering what you will be demo'ing this weekend, :). When time allows, I've love to hear how you create the "copies" of your art work to use on other, coordinating pieces. Wishing you much success with this weekend's show!
Your painting on that newest table is stunning. It won't last long.
Hope you get a second wind of energy. Enjoy

Hi Diane. Good luck at the show. I love that table, hope it sells. have a great weekend.
Diane, I LOVE your new "shabby chic" table, Diane! How serendipitous that half the work was done for you!!! I can't believe the other table didn't sell!!!! I'd have bet that it would've found a new home last week. Wishing you a safe trip and an 'empty booth'!!! Hugs, Terri xoxox
Hi dear Diane,-maybe your buquet did not take you long to paint-- but ooohhh it is so beautifull-the flowers looks so real.
I know how hard it is ,going to shows every week-end,as I`m doing that november,and december, very often,and the other week-ends I`m here in my shop, making christmas with hot wine-and cookies!!!
