Show Girl

Summer is a bit of a Bermuda Triangle for shows...Kind of hit and miss...Spread Out...Nothing Major but good for catching up and planning for the Fall Shows...Which I am SUPER excited about! There are some really great shows we get to be a part of this year and I've been running thru booth ideas and wanted to share some of the inspiration~

I'm thinking of going with a more pale...shimmery...frosty...forest...fall type of feel...basically a magical fall forest of muted neutrals and earthy elements!


I love these interiors that are a combination of mainly neutrals with some dark tones and garden outdoor type elements which make them a bit more "homey".


It's funny how you can find a booth design idea in the smallest most random element....sparkly chandeliers...collections of plates... a nice curve on a chair~

The Scallop on a Table~


Aren't those windows amazing?? and that Chair?


Basically everything about this makes me SWOON~
And a Splash of the perfect Watermelon Pink and French Teal to make it fun.

Can't wait for the Shows!!
Bella Rustica- August 23-24 at Legacy Farms-
City Farmhouse Barn Show- October 11-12-

I will leave the decision of how you Pay it Forward up to the individual who wins....Donate the money how you best see fit with the condition that whoever receives it Pays it Forward as well~

Threads by The Dove Cote

THREADS by The Dove Cote

It's been a lot of fun working on our new project which is an expansion of the shop with clothing, more jewelry and Havaiana Sandals! We've added a lot of fun new clothing along with altered clothing which is such a fun way to expand our talents. I've always loved the way clothes can change your day but the problem has  been that I never quite found what I wanted....Not sure why it took so long to realize I just need to make it myself! But man is it fun!

Of Course we still have our wonderful Corral Boots and Vintage Boots in Stock and many new styles in!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We have about 15 different styles of Havaianas in now too which is a bit like an addiction considering they come in every color and with and without studs, jewels and prints...they are fantastic!

Shameful Really....

It's been so long....I mean so long it's almost embarrasing! Of course it's been busy but honestly it's been so long because google changed the blog format and it wouldn't allow me to upload pics so I pretended it was a non-issue :) Sorry my bad! But for those who are still hanging in there here's what has been going on....
(Mini Boot Section of Shop)

In April we headed out to the infamous Texas Antique Week (AKA Round Top) and set up at Zapp Hall. As always it's tons of fun and there are so many talented people there that you come back flooded with new ideas and inspiration. Of course the Junky Gypsies are there along with Rodeo Royalty which had an amazing Gypsy Wagon...(I Die!) and many others.

(Jewelry in Shop)
 
Right after that we held The Vintage Prom which was a benefit for our local Women's Shelter which went off amazingly well! Such a great night and the community was amazing in their support!
 
 
 

                                          I would wear that Teal Petticoat every day if I could!

Sherrifs!
 
 
After that we moved on to adding some clothing to the shop which has been the best fun.
 
 
Lots, of great T-shirts, Dresses, and Free Spirit Style Clothing.

This week it's off to Atlanta for Scott's Antique Market so if you're in the area please stop by, we'll be at booth 241!
