I was honored when Jenn asked me to help with the decor for her big to-do in Asheville. Her fairy event will be over the top fantastic, as everything she does always is.
So, I was so pleased to be a part of such a pretty gathering. The setting for the event looks beautiful in the photos, but Jenn is going to fairy it up even more. I made a few signs to display at the venue.
When I make my signs, I like to use old wood. One of these is a small table top, the others are panels from salvaged doors.
I love it when I can use the existing paint with its chippy patina. I just give it a light sanding so my acrylic paint will hold, and then a good cleaning, and when I am done, a clear coat.
These were done earlier in the summer, and it was nice to day dream about seeing my arty friends and playing fairy, even though the date seemed so far in the future. But now its here, and I'm on my way as you are reading this. I'll have a few pre-written posts for while I am gone, so please come on by while I am gone.
When the event is over, two of the signs will be for sale. I told Jenn to pick one to keep as a gift from me.
If you are interested, check back when I return from NC, and I'll let you know which two are for sale.
EDIT- This post was written ahead of time, before I left on my trip. I'll have new posts all week while I am away, but might not get to answer all comments or emails, but I will be reading and enjoying them on my Ipad. Thanks for coming by! I hope to add some "Live" posts from the road too.
These signs are gorgeous! Have fun with the ladies AND the fairies! - Kathy

Oh, so cute! Very pretty, I'm sure the fairies will enjoy the art work while cutting thru the garden.

My favorite was the Fairy Crossing. All are very pretty! It's going to be hard for Jenn to pick just one to keep.

Lovely! And it looks like from all the photos on facebook that the event was simply wonderful. I have got to get the girls to go with me to one of Jen's events!
