May 1st At Beaumont Antique Mall

Rapstine's Red Barn, and Beaumont Antique Mall, Beaumont Ca

I've sold several things! Woohoo!

Shadowbox Project Under Ten Dollars

I made this to sell through one of my spaces, perhaps Rapstine's Red Barn.

The Process:

Supplies needed. I forgot to list tape, or glue, and museum wax.

Painting the Background

Designing the Shadowbox

I am going to set the price at twenty dollars

On the Hunt

Research

Lots of research begins by looking at the item. Glass, ceramic, and porcelain marks give a wealth of information, along with size, shape, color, and weight. Soon, I will compare different types of glass underneath a black light. This Avon Egg will be included.

In House Treasures

This is the why of my new small business. My Mother-in-Law left us with many vintage collectables. Doing this is a nice tribute to her and her interests, as well.

Treasures from Idaho

I got these (except for the ornate Liquor Bottle) in Angels thrift store in Wendell, Idaho. I hope I got the name right. The owner is a nice young woman I hope does well.
