my first flea market

i promised you i would show you

photos from this past sunday's

flea market

at the melrose trading post.

it was such an amazing experience.

and, for my first time, i did extremely well.

at this point i think i'll be selling

once a month.

maybe one day i'll have more hours

in the day and will be able to 

focus solely on disregard{en}.

but once a month is great for now.

okay, so back to photos...

 i was so privileged to have

my sweet friend jenny

help me set up and take photos

of my little shop. 

she is an amazing and creative friend

who is great at empowering

others to pursue their passion.

hence, her presence at the flea market.

i just love her. check her 

website out here.

okay okay, so the photos

these necklaces are my friend, jen's

she and her husband

sold some of their stuff alongside us.

check out their business here.

pretty much the best day ever.

well, not ever. but it was up there...

i am planning on selling again in march.

and, i will let you know details as soon as i

figure out when.

thank you to all who came out and supported me.

it meant so so much.

and for those of you who couldn't make it,

thank you for your support via

facebook/email/blogland.

i feel so loved.

love to you all.

lost&found

hello friends!

thursday is here.

how did that happen??

well, since it is thursday,

that means

lost&found

here are a few pieces

i finished for last sunday's

flea market

here is

gloria

very lost

and now, so wonderfully 

found

(this photo isn't the greatest. you can't see details.

 it was pouring

rain the day i took it. stay tuned for 

better photos...)

and 

lovely

marjorie

lost

and

now 

found

sadly, marjorie is not for sale any longer.

she was quite popular at the flea 

market this last sunday.

but she did go to a beautiful couple. 

who we have now befriended.

i like flea markets. you meet great people.

gloria is still available.

i think she is actually going to be

adjusted a bit & made more into a desk.

i am going to take more photos of her

and list her on etsy when she is fully

completed.

and, flea market photos are on their way.

i apologize for the delay. but it will make

it that much more exciting to see them, right?

oh the anticipation.

speaking of anticipation.

disregard{en} has really started to

shape into my expectations (and more) this week.

thank you to all of you for your support,

encouragement and excitement.

it means the world to me.

i cannot wait to share with you 

some of the new opportunities.

and, of course, i cannot wait to share 

with you more of my new finds.

stay tuned for tomorrow's {free}day.

i might even post a second free find!

i hope you have an amazing thursday

dear friends.

                          .jessnicole.

a quick peek...

so i lived through 

my first flea

market!

it went amazingly well!

seriously. 

i was astounded with the turn-out,

the interest in my pieces and

the sweet people roaming

around the flea market on a sunday.

i made so many great connections,

handed out tons of business cards, &

have already had quite a few inquiries...

now i just need to find more time in my day

to actually do this full time. 

i have to give a huge huge thanks to my

encouraging, helpful, strong and hot husband

jonathan. i honestly would not have been

able to lift the pieces into the moving truck. 

especially four times in one day.

and i couldn't have been nearly as

smooth in my selling. he is tall and handsome.

and great at conversing with strangers.

everyone loved him. 

and i love him.

and a huge thanks to everyone who

came out and visited me and supported me

and loved me and made me smile.

jenny mavity, a dear friend, came early

and helped us unload. and then took some

great photos (she is an amazing photographer).

so, i will be posting some photos of 

my booth within the next few days.

(thank you miss jenny)

but i did manage to take some

quick shots with my iphone.

i thought i would give you a quick

peek at the items i sold in 

my little flea market shop.

i had to head downtown to get fresh flowers.

they bring so much life.

i hope you enjoyed your weekend. 

i am taking a little break

before jumping back in to

painting, creating, finding and

preparing for the next flea market.

dates and times to come.

jonathan and i are a little 

exhausted.

pizza and beer for dinner

(after two very long days of work

following the flea market)

sounds nice.

we deserve it...

see you thursday.

i have some exciting pieces to show you.

[free]day

i almost forgot it was friday!

which means

it is

[free]day!!!

with the craziness of getting

things ready for the flea 

market, i somehow forgot it was friday.

all i know is that it is not sunday.

yet.

so here is this week's

free piece

marjorie

she is u-g-l-y

70s/80's fabric and all.

i picked her up

when we got our christmas tree

this past december

with our dear friends

aaron and julie.

she was on the side of the road.

left for the trash.

i know, understandable.

but just you wait.

she'll be stunning and ready 

for someone's home.

if you don't believe me,

come see for yourself on sunday.

she'll be waiting to prove you wrong...

hope you had a great week.

my week was insane. good. but insane.

consisted of painting, organizing, 

sneezing, working, cleaning, 

printing, crafting, not sleeping,

loving (my friend caitlyn flew out from england

and i got to see her for a little bit. the best), 

oh and maybe some stressing. 

but it will all be worth it.

cannot wait to see you sunday.

and if you can't make it, i'll have

photos to show later.

love.
