News, updates, and new items coming soon!

We just got back from a trip to Florida.  The weather was gorgeous and we were all.....sick.  But, I happened to get back in one piece and hopped right back onto the refinishing trail, itching to get new items finished.   I also snapped some great pictures while I was there, and some of my favourites are floral photos.  Florida is bursting with incredible plants - even in February.  Here's one I snapped of a gorgeous yellow rose covered in raindrops.

I have a few new items on the go at the moment, from a large custom order to dressers, to tiny "smalls" like picture frames.  I like to work on multiple projects at once as I find I work better that way!

Aside from my usual furniture flipping, I have been feverishly working on increasing my inventory; because...... I was accepted as a vendor for the Beeton Honey & Garden Festival!  HOORAY!! Here's a link to check it out: http://www.beetonhoneyandgardenfestival.com/.  This is why I'm working on "smalls" - smaller items that don't include furniture so I can round out my booth.
 Since I will be shifting my focus towards preparing for my booth, I won't be selling any items online until after that day.  BUT, custom orders are always welcome.  You can still contact me at sageandbalm@gmail.com to place an order.

I'm thrilled to be travelling back towards my hometown for a taste of the festival.  I'm very excited to be able to showcase my wares as a vendor and I also hope to meet some new people!  I'll keep posting about the progress for the festival as the date approaches (this year, it runs Saturday, May 23rd from 9am-4pm).  Come on out and see my Sage and Balm booth among the throng of other lovely crafty people at the festival!

One last bit of news:  I'm thinking about expanding my business to include my photography prints.  I'm an amateur, and I'm self-taught, but I adore taking pictures and sharing them.  I think I will start posting more photos on my blog and if one tickles your fancy, you can send me an email to place an order.  That's what I'm thinking so far....we'll see how it goes.
