Today's shopping list of supplies for my booth at

The Queen Bee Market


Lots of wood
Furring strips
Sandpaper
Cement mix
Five cans of spray paint.  Turquoise, obvs.
Shelf pins
Shelves
Eye hooks
Pom pom fringe
Five pounds of coffee
Curling iron
Falsies Mascara
Double sided tape
Green tea



I feel like MacGyver.  Or more like MacGruber.

One week to get it all together.
Thus the five pounds of coffee.

  11. SO jeal! Pre-kids, my husband was part-owner of a clothing company and we did the whole Spirit West Coast circuit for a number of years. Although our booth was NOT cute and VERY manly and involved rebar, PVC, metal and lots of black paint. But I always helped and it was def my fave part!

  21. This post made me laugh. MacGruber. What a nincompoop (never saw the movie but loved him on SNL). Just wish VA was a little closer to Cali so I could come see what you are going to create out of that shopping basket. I'm sure it will be gorg. Sending you happy thoughts that you are a creating machine between now and Friday and that you have a super successful market!
