Easter isn’t until April, but I have been spending a good chunk of February getting ready for bunny-ing up my booth for the next First Friday at Good Juju.
And since we are also in the vicinity of St Paddy’s, I’ve added a section of green and good luck snuggled between the bunnies and eggs.
This wall is covered in spring daisies on a soft green background. It is vintage wall paper, and my plan is to change it up seasonally. I’ll roll up the used piece from the previous month and have it for sell when I do the change over.
I offer packets of ironed, cut wallpaper for crafting in my online Boutique but I’ve never sold the stuff this way. It will be good for bigger projects, and ends up being about 6-7’.
Although, when I stapled this piece up, it was chosen for the pretty green tones, then it dawned on me that around here, daisies were more of a summer flower, not early spring. Dur.
I kinda doubt anyone else will think it through that far. Ha, can you picture someone critiquing my use of Daisies in March?
“Why, I’ve never seen such a disrespectful display of unseasonal flowers in my life! No way am I shopping in that uninformed booth!”
Another nitpick? I’m not totally satisfied with the hairstyle on my shamrock doll. She has a 1960’s Barbie bubble cut from the front. From behind, it’s a nice updo. This girl should dump her hairdresser (me). I might bring scissors and snip in some bangs before she meets our guests.
While one whole corner is set to celebrate the luck of the Irish on their special day, most of my decor consists of green stuff and green Easter eggs. I have a couple vintage clover brooches, the doll, and two mushrooms made from the same tattered, old material as the doll dress.
This one has a tiny leprechaun grabbing some shade underneath.
There are also silver pendants with an Irish theme. I have Celtic knots, green stones, moons, and dragons. Kinda Irishy. I not a beer drinker, so have never considered drinking green beer, and really am not at all into the typical St Patrick’s Day type of celebrating. But I like to remember that I am part Irish and pretend it is my holiday too, like many of us do.
(Also part English and German according to 23 and Me DNA testing. Sounds like there could’ve been some disagreements and a bit of bombing between my ancestors, huh?)
There will be more Easter to show you from the other side.
And then the last wall is all neutrals, inspired by Yellowstone- which I think starts up again soon. I do enjoy that show, but I seriously LOVE the two prequels. OMG, the romance! The scenery! How Gorgeous. Well, I’ll show that wall later, I have a feeling no one will interpret as Yellowstone, but hey, inspiration isn’t exact because then it’s called copying, right?
Great new items to display, Karla! I’m sure nobody is going to notice that the daisy wallpaper is out of season! We are our own worst critics, after all!
