Build it....And they will come....Shabby Vintage Junk Extravaganza....A Vintage Show in the making....!

Hello Fellow Vintage Lovers EVERYWHERE....!
 
I trust this post finds you all safe & well following the Easter break....!!
 
Mr SVJ & I have been flat out like lizards drinking over the last few days building my set for the upcoming Shabby Vintage Junk Extravaganza....Full details of which will be advised this week once the Vendor line up has been finalised....!!!!!
 
I'm PLEASED to say, 95% of the materials used were salvaged from the Hard Rubbish.....Aside from these FABULOUS posts....I bought these from a salvage center some time ago intending to use them as table legs....For the time being though, they make a WONDERFUL entrance....!
Mr SVJ's face was as DARK as THUNDER when this pic was taken so probably BEST you can't see it....You'd think he'd KNOW after all this time I change my mind....A LOT....hahahahahaha....!!
Speaking of which....Here's that piece of galvanised tin I lugged home last week....!
 
Well I must away....Gotta go see a man about a dog....For my International Friends that's Aussie for "I'm off to do something I probably shouldn't share for fear of incriminating myself....hahahahahaha....!!!"
 
Cheers for now,
Tamarah  :o)

    Here it's "I'm going to see a man about a horse". And it usually is code for "I'm going to go pee."!
    I love the roof!! I love the porch posts! It's going to look awesome. And how cool is it that 95% of your inventory is curbside finds? Way to go, Tamarah!

    Tamarah,your enthusiasm always inspires me. How lucky are you having Mr SVJ to help out at times and how lucky is he to have you changing your mind - how else would he spend his time (haha). I will not definately not be missing this extrvaganza!!

    Can't wait to see the whole thing. I think Mr SJV is very patient and deserves lots of points for helping you. Send him some Texas hugs from us gals for his good sportsmanship.
