You may remember the plastic swan that I got the other day. I know some of you questioned that purchase, but I thought it would make a fun display at Plucky Maidens.
Swans look swell with rosy cheeks. I also added a big pink bow and a tag I made.
The swan is now proudly showing off some of my swan items. Just something unusual to catch ones eye.
And speaking of Plucky Maidens. I am more than ready for it. My garage is ready to be emptied out. The pile is mostly props, but there is stuff for sale in the stack as well.
Since Ben is away at college his room becomes storage after things are priced and bagged and ready to go. I hope he does not decide to make an unexpected visit home!
I am sure glad I borrowed my dad's truck as there is absolutely no way I could fit it in my Subaru. The truck is stuffed to the gills.
If you live in the Portland area come by and get Plucky and shop. Be sure to introduce yourself too!
Your swan looks great! It would catch my eye that's for sure. I wish we lived close by :-(
Looks like you're going to have a lot of fun. Can't wait to see some pics....hopefully you're going to post some. Need to make plans next year to go up there.
Hope you sell lots of goodies!!

Good luck this weekend. I'm sure your truck will look a lot different on the return trip.

Laurie, I have learned to never question anything you bring home......:)
I'm hoping to visit my peeps on Saturday, so hopefully I'll get to finally meet you. Good luck at your show!

It turned out fabulous....I love it. Tag and the dish work great. Never questioned it for a minute...Those May Day baskets are darling. I think I have passed twenty or so never knowing what to do with them...now I know! Best to you on emptying out the garage and finding sweet treasures of your own...smiles...Renee

I think the swan is perfect for your display. Can't wait to see everything at Plucky. I am planning to be there first thing tomorrow. Good luck!!

hope you have a fabulous show!! I'd love to come but our borders do not meet ;-) Why aren't the states in alphabetic order? Ohio and Oregon should be stacked! (how did Washington end up there?)
I see some terrific stuff in your garage/Dad's truck. Here's wishing you a lite load coming home!!

You definitely took that plain old plastic swan and made it something special! Good luck at your show, and I hope you took some pictures because I'd love to see how your booth looked!
