New website, new items, new house...

Hi everyone... Yes, I seem to have fallen back to my "post once a month" schedule that sometimes occurs when other life events take over. Ya know what I mean?

Anyway... the new website is coming now VERY soon, I mean it this time! I'm hoping to get it up live early next week. Over the past month I spent time uploading all of my current inventory, and working with a designer to get the web template ready. Another great thing about my new site is the potential for ecommerce in the future... I'm thinking within the next year I'd like to go for it!

I've also been applying to shows for the summer... and having professional pictures taken (finally!) of some of my art for show applications... here's a few samples:

Cool new towel rack with an old faucet to hang your towels from.... the photog actually put the brick background in after the fact. Pretty sneaky!



This piece hangs 4 sets of keys from old window sash lock catches... labeled with the vintage label holders. I've also put 2 doorknobs & a level at the bottom for coats....
Here's an interesting coat rack - I was going for a 1900-1920's feel.. like a fancy old hotel or maybe a theater.... this one has a combo of vintage hooks & some window sash lock pieces to hold your coats. Label the 5 sections for your family members. The label holders are vintage - from the American Type Founder's Co.... (as imprinted onto each).

I hope to resume my more frequent posting habits shortly! My husband & I have our house up for sale, and hope to move to our new place soon (another vintage find). With this will come all the fun of moving a home business.... a few hundred windows, etc.
thanks for stopping by! :) Amy
