Hi Bloggerettes! I have a dilemna. I have been trying to sell this little vanity seat f-o-r-e-v-a!!! First it was covered with a pink fabric with a vintage lace top and wouldn't sell. Then a solid pink quilted fabric and still wouldn't sell. Next I covered it in a beachy floral fabric and still wouldn't sell. I painted it white, I painted it blue, I painted it green..... I'm trying this.
I'm thinking sewing room stool?
Remember Carol from the Polka Dot Closet....she had a little table that wouldn't sell no matter what she tried. I think it took her months to find it a home. Well, I think this little stool is following suit.
And another thing to add to my frustration is that the benches in other booths are selling all around me! Sheesh!
Is it the color? Is it the fabric? Is it just ugly? It's only $39. Is this too much?
It's going back to the shop tomorrow to take it's place once again in my booth. I'm hoping that someone will take it home. I'm tired of pulling the staples out, tired of changing the fabric and tired of looking at it!
I'll keep you posted.
Now, on another note. Look what I received in the mail!
A really big, big package!
Now on to a happy note...don't be jealous. I won it legitimately!
Merry Christmas to me....Merry Christmas to me....
It's from Paula at Castle and cottage Signs!
I won her giveaway!
Isn't this sign wonderful. I can't wait for the Holidays, I have the perfect spot for it.
Thank you Paula! I love it. You create the most beautiful pieces of art. I'm so excited that this one is all mine!
Here's another tote bag....I'm on a roll....
Okay, Sweeties, have a wonderful weekend. Thanks for listening to my little bench rant.
~~hugs~~

Love, love that Christmas sign...yea, it's very frustrating when you can't sell a piece of furniture..you paint it different colors, you move it around so many times hoping to find that right spot..and nothing...frustrating I tell ya!!!
Have a great weekend,
Sylvia
Adore the sign....lucky you! And you know, I can't tell you how many things I have had to reinvent several times before they "went away", but it happens.....maybe this sweet little design will be the one.
