Texas Quickie Pics

 
Okay, so here a few quickie pics from the past couple of days. I'm not getting much of cell service or internet right now, so I have to post when I can. Hope you like, this is of course the Bliss Lounge, LOving my new SIN sign!! Can't wait to light it up on Prom night, yippeee!!

 
 
a few fun new items in my booth..

 
 
one side of my tent...

 
other side.... Half of this stuff is gone already!

 
 
my travel buddy and booth neighbor,Darlah. Everyone is loving her look and style.

 
She has a regular booth at the Urban Barn in So. california.

 

This is the HGTV lounge next to the Junk Gypsy tent. They are filming their new show for the HGTV network while antiques week is going on. Really cool to watch it all go on, the poor girls are really exhausted each night from running all over. Each night I've seen them they are just pooped!

 
inside the hgtv lounge, really cool...

 
inside the Junk Gypsy tent. always love the bright colors.

 
Myself with Amie and Jolie of Junk Gypsies. Everytime I've been here I see and talk to them but never get a picture. I said this time, I gotta get a pic. And with all their running around and exhaustion they never tire of it. Super cool chicks! Thanks, ladies!

It's late, I need sleep, it's soooooo damn hot here. Gotta go, more later!!!

Texas, Here I Come!!!!!

 
Yippee!!!! The time has come for this awesome show to start soon. This friday kicks off Antiques Week in Roundtop,TX. I'm over the top excited to be going again. I've been working like a dog trying to get ready, so much so, now I'm sick. Sucks so bad, but hopefully some fresh air will make it go away!

 
Here  are a couple of fun creations I'm taking with me...

 
 
 
"Bad Girl"

 
this is a custom order for a customer in Texas, this bottle is huge!

 
LOVE all these bottles!!

I'll try to post pics as the next two weeks go, not sure how much internet service I'm going to have, hell, you barely have cell service there! Be back soon!

Blissfully Yours, Tricia

PS. If you are coming to the show, stop by and see me, I'm set up towards the back of Zapp Hall, by Royers Cafe. yippee!!

 

Booth No.2

 
Booth No.2 at Zinnia's is here! Yippee!! I booth opened up after a dealer moved out, so I said "I want it!" I've decided to have one as the pretty,pink,white, shabby chic style items, and then this one is my vintage industrial stuff. I love both worlds, the pretty and the harsh.
I found this way cool industrial file cabinet. I can picture it filled with lots of vintage supplies.

 
As soon as I saw this sweet garden gate I was instantly all over it! So sweet. I hope you can make it down to Zinnia's in Central Phoenix,they are open 7 days a week 10-6. I've put a few more goods in each booth since these pics were taken, and a few things have sold. Taking a few more treasures up there today,too! I'll see you there!

I Feel a SIN coming on.....

 
Uh yea, these babies are mine! You know where these sign letters are going, right??? YES!!! On the Bliss Lounge! You can't really be a Bliss Lounge without a little Sin goin' on right??!!! ANd yes, these awesome sign letters LIGHT UP!!! Gahhhhhh!!! I can't stand it!!! I found these on Monday and almost wet my pants!! I had been wanting these large ones that were at Urban Barn

 
But they were already gone by the time I was able to purchase them, they were soooo cool and HUGE! They would have been so cool on the trailer. I love the ones I just found though, I'm thinking they will hang off the side of the trailer on Prom Night that the Junk Gypsies hold in two weeks! So fun. can't wait!

 

"A PBR on the way, life was good today" Zac Brown Band.   Love that song, love this sign that lights up as well. I've always had a fondness for Beer/alcohol signs, lately I've been finding more and more that I like. can't decide if I want to keep this one or let it go???? Hmmmm.......Texas???

Back from the Vintage Marketplace show already and I miss everyone already. The show was great, as always. Love seeing all my Cali friends and customers. Thank you all who came out, you are soooo appreciated! In this picture I am with the hostess with the mostess-Rita.

Vintage Marketplace

 
 
On my way out to Vintage Marketplace in the morning bright and early! Actually, by the time this posts I'll be half way there. Anyways, here are a couple more peeks at a couple of things I made for the show. The first one is a soldered necklace, love the image, and Beer Bitch just came to mind when I saw it. Perfect for a Girls Night Out, which I am sooooooooo due for! Maybe soon??

The second picture is of a 4x4 Collage beeswax canvas. This image just makes me laugh, and you know me and my sayings! Anyways, I hope to see lots of you this weekend at the show. The weather is supposed to be completely awesome! So can't wait for that! The van and trailer are loaded to roof with fun goodies!

 

Western Design Conference

 
I have to give a HUGE shout out to my friend and creative partner Miss Heidi of Paris Montana, she sets a goal and Bam! accomplished! She wanted to get into the Western Design Conference in Jackson Hole, WY and it happened all in a matter of a week! We've been going crazy trying to get everything ready for her to go and exhibit at this Premier Western Design and Shopping event. This is where everything in the Western Design industry takes off!

 
The best part for me is that, she is going to be taking my Tattered Bliss SlipDresses and Tops with her to exhibit!!! I have a couple more new designs she is taking as well. I'm so excited for her to be taking these with her to the show. They always looks so amazing with her gorgeous jewels! Keep checking the Paris Montana blog for updates and Facebook. If you are in the area, try to stop by this is a huge event part of the Jackson Hole Arts Festival Sept. 8th-11th. Lots to do, lots going on!! More updates tomorrow!

Dad & the Ottoman

 
My Dad is genius and all-around engineer-extrodinaire! I showed him a picture of an ottoman that was displayed on Debbie Dusenberry's Facebook page a few weeks back aand said can we make this?? Do you like the "we" in that sentence?? Yea, I'm sure he appreciated that too! LOL. Anyways, I had the galvanized tub for a couple of months now, tried to sell it at a couple of shows this summer, thinking someone would buy it to put drinks in during Summer parties, but no takers! Crazy, I know!

 
So Dad says "Yeah, sure" in his normal "oh great, what the hell is this girl making me do now" voice. So he drills the holes,cuts the wood, puts the screws where they need to go. So, it sounds easy in that last sentence, right? Well, the galvanized tub is very worn and not quite a round circle, more like an oval with ridges. So cutting the wood was a pain in the you know what!

 
Then I'm talking to my sister about the project and she says "Why don't you put some wheels on it???" Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My family is genius!!!!! So, poor Dad now has to add some clear castor wheels, just a little bit more drilling, no biggie, right??

 
Ta-dah!!!! Perfect, awesome! I love the way it turned out. The original picture I saw on Debbie's FB page didn't page wheels, so I think we did this piece justice. I think the wheels make it more functional and whimsical. The fabric is a great neutral, durable upholstery material. I think there will be a few more of these to come! I have several ideas with more killer fabrics! Now, I have to stress I was not the originator of this idea, just put my spin on it.

 
Here is the picture of the one that I saw on Deb's FB page. Love this one! My head is spinning with lots of repurposing ideas lately. I think there is so much more that can be made with these old tubs, let's see what else we can come up with !

Thanks, DAD!!!!   Blissfully Yours, Tricia

Before & After

 
Last week I went to a salvage yard and came across this lovely piece of metal. It is an awning frame. I've always loved looking at the awnings you see sometimes over the windows of cute little houses. They are usually covered with sweet black and white striped fabric, and I've seen some with yellow and white too. Super cute. So, I was thinking it would be really cool to have this hanging on a wall Inside a home. It gives some whimzy and makes a fabulous focal point in a room. How fun to have this hanging on the wall behind your sofa??!!

 

 

Gorgeous sweet French script fabric and some fun chocolate brown fringe. I love this piece, I think it is so fun to put in a home. I'll be bringing it to the Vintage Marketplace next weekend. More peeks and transformations to come! See you there!

Blissfully Yours, Tricia
