Boutique, BABY!

It's kinda like Christmas...a lot like Christmas.
Both sides...the innocent, believing child Christmas and the adult, magic-making Christmas. Putting on a boutique take prep work, emails, phone calls, signs, ads, mailers, flyers, blog buttons and posts. I takes time to find the right vendors that will bring products that will make our friends feel that rush of excitement when they step in through our doors. It's fun to plan, to map out, to watch details and figure final steps in orchestrating something like this, but then....

It's that giddy, nervous, hopeful -yes-I-may-throw-up-out-of -pure-excited-ness feeling WE get to experience, too. As vendors come in and set up, as we set up...as we walk through all the amazingly fun goodies that all of these lovely vendors have worked so hard to assemble and present. I don't sleep the night before- just like Christmas.

So even if it's not in your budget- you don't have to buy a thing...those feelings are all free and we'd love for you to come and experience Mindy Mae's Market. :D

Pulling You Along! Mindy Maes Market Knobs!


We just got these gorgeous knobs into the store and I just had to put them to work somewhere in my house!  I wasn't sure if I wanted a hanging rack...so I have a few other projects with these included, too!

We started with an old window we salvaged from a barn recently torn down. {Yay for fun finds!} 
 I just LOVE the paint and the hardware...the rust and the dirt {fabulous!}.


 We set out the knob to get a general idea for placement...isn't this going to be beautiful?


Here are the knobs...six different yummy designs!


We removed the hardware- so as to not ruin whatever wall the organizer would be hanging on.


 We pre-drilled the holes to make screwing them into place a little easier.

Then we commence with screwing each knob into place. This was harder than I anticipated. I now have rose-shaped tender-spots in each of my palms.

 
 Our finished product! So cute...AND functional!
