Upcoming event & KPVI MORE show!

Lively Grace will be at 
Ladies Night at Changing Seasons, 
a lovely nursery with home decor, 
Thursday May 23 6-9 pm!



I feel as though my blog has been kicked to the curb during my kiddo's soccer season, but I love cheering him on and just would not miss it!  So, my Lively Grace time has been spent purchasing, cleaning, painting, hunting, and preparing amazing goodness for this upcoming event.  I even swung by the KPVI studio for a little segment (link below!) , and planned some more appearances with Matt and Libby!  A big thank you to Changing Seasons for supplying me with some gorgeous flowers!  


Follow me on  Facebook  for updates and a few sneaks as the week progresses.  I won't be able to offer any pre-sales on items posted, however.  If you're not able to make it, I'll be posting items still available on my blog.


Have a fantastic weekend!

Items available: Industrial & Vintage

Industrial and Vintage, all in one post, who could want more?

I'm in prep mode for an upcoming event-

Ladies Night at Changing Seasons 
Thursday, May 23 6-9pm

This means, I'm also in a bit of a "I'm going to keep these re-graced pieces under wraps until Ladies Night" mode.  Yes, I've been keeping some goodies from you!  Since this is a one night event, I plan on bringing 1 truck load.  (If you've ever seen what I can fit in my car, you'll be excited to see how much I can fit into a full truck!)  These two pieces take up quite a bit of room, so they are available now! 


Lockers!!   
Set of Three - SOLD




How cool would vinyl or painted numbers be up here.  Or, check Etsy for vintage metal locker numbers - oh my!




I just love the legs!  Oh, and these bad boys are sturdy!
Measurements:    79" heigh,  36.5"  wide,   18"  deep



Super hip in a kiddo or teenager's room.
Very Country Living style put in your mudroom.
Oh, yes, the Mr. would agree to put these in the garage- right? !
Or, go with how I use my lockers - inside my 'studio' room!
(If you've missed my story, click here . )



Yes, hooks are there!  These lockers are in good shape, with a great off -white/creamy color!


Vintage Dress Form $45
(great price when compared to what I've found on line!)

 
Vintage adjustable dress form.  Height is also adjustable, can be placed on a floor or counter.
With a little tweaking, her parts line up pretty well.

New Items | Custom dresser


Happy Friday!

Who could blame me for wanting to photograph this dresser?  I loved the whole process and couldn't help but post some photos on facebook along the way.  She was spoken for before the paint was chosen, as a custom piece.  I will miss her, and may have to go visit her from time to time.  She is so excited to move to her new home where she awaits the arrival of a baby girl! 
 I'd love to hear what you think!

FleaMarket Leftovers | Spring 2013

The Wildhare FleaMarket was such a blast, and I was tickled pink at how many of you stopped by to say Hi- thank you!!

I do have a few pieces that returned home, here goes!


Awesome Green Open Shelving  $36
This bad boy has some character!  The paint is original, although the finish needed a little re-gracing.  An entry table with baskets, as a small potting station (think potted flowers, containers with seed packets and a stack of small pots), a bookshelf or display shelf.
measures:   12" deep X 25" wide X 28" deep





Vintage Sugar and Tea Canisters with lids $14 (for the pair)





Vintage flour sifter with awesome green wood handle! $ 10



"Wild Greek" grape crate $14
(Wild Greek - love that!)



Antique Slate Chalkboard $30
(I have an eraser and vintage chalk to go with it!)




Classic Blue Dresser  SOLD
Measures 26in wide, 44in tall, 15in deep
Sturdy, with a wood top and all wood construction. Slightly distressed side wood panels give a bit of contrast, love the silver pulls against the classic deep blue.
Great for a young boy, re-freshing a tween/teen's room, or modern look -maybe styled with light pink or coral. So many possibilities!

Red framed chalkboard $12
17.5in x 14in

Cute wood toy truck $5

Happy Easter

The other night, after spending more time on paperwork than I had planned, I couldn't help myself. I should have been in bed, but I had not yet 'played' with any of my flea market finds, so I stayed up past a usually late bedtime and had my fun!
I scored these chairs from the most recent WildHare FleaMarket. I have plans to re-grace them, but couldn't wait to 'play' with them. Just imagine them in bare metal- against the wood table- oh, better! My booth had quite a few nests and a birdcage, so I was in the mood to put some out at home too. That birdcage, yes, I agree, amazing! I picked it up from an amazing lady's yard sale. The vintage tablecloth was a recent find. ( Apparently, ironing is not 'play' for me.) The nest my son and I found a few years ago exploring by a lake (it was old, dry & on the ground), it holds great memories.

Check out the pile of my other WildHare FleaMarket scores on my Facebook page. www.facebook.com/LivelyGrace .

Thanks for playing with me!

Happy Easter!

Post FleaMakret Thank You & Giveaway Winner

Amazing!  That's how I would describe the Wildhare FleaMarket, and the biggest part of the amazingness was all the lively folks that stopped into my booth! 
 Thank you all so much!





  This is how it initially looked;  then the amazingness swooped in, purchases were made, and the look of my booth quickly changed -yay!  If you stopped in later on Friday or on Saturday, my booth had a different look.  I'm a fusser and could spend a full day reconfiguring a booth, and certainly as items move on to new homes.  A big thank you to Danielle from Antique Recreation for snapping a quick photo of my booth, just before we opened on Friday.  I wish I had a photo of her booth.  I hope you were able to see it and visit with her.  She is even more lovely than her furniture!


I owe a big thank you to my "support staff" also. 

This is my dad, helping me set up for my first ever fleamarket.  He hasn't missed one yet.  You may have even met him, either while he watches my booth while I'm out shopping (also a role my mom frequently takes on) or while he was out shopping and visiting with other vendors.  My mom is a wonderful support who has helped me scrub, paint, price, display, and yes, holding down the booth.  She has somehow avoided the camera.  And let me say, I have amazing in-laws.  Who else would scrub dirt off old wood?  Oh, that would be my mother-in-law.  Plus, those 3 truck loads I mentioned on facebook on the day we loaded into the fairgrounds?  Yes, my in-laws are wonderful people!


My husband avoids the photos too.  He is a big help behind the scenes and all throughout the year.  I now have huge industrial racks (yes- like the ones Home Depot uses to hold 2X4's) in the garage, just for organizing and storing the Lively Grace inventory.  Thank you!



And a thank you to the kiddo!  He's a great hauler, helper, and booth worker, assuring me he could independently run the 'square' card reader while I made the rounds at Wildhare this past weekend.  My how time flies!

Lots of thanks to all who entered my giveaway for this cabinet door, re-graced into a shabby chalkboard.  Amanda Baker is the lucky winner-yay!  
Send me a text, email, or  facebook message, Amanda and we'll coordinate a time you can pick it up.


Have a lively week!
