Working at Marta's part 3 - her shop

Her shop.  It seems a simple phrase, but nothing Marta does is simple.  That is what makes it beautiful.
Welcome to Marta's Room Antiques: I'll just let you wander- it is how most of us do it. 

Her shop is an overload of the senses. You have to go around at least three times to see it all.  There is so much going on that one walk through does not hit it all.  Marta has the talent for display- amazing natural talent. And her shop is different every time I go to visit.

*** I did not take these photos.  I borrowed them from Marta's fb page.  

Working at Marta's part 2

Day 2 of Marta's Room Antiques Fall Vintage Show.  Marta has a ton of inventory so at her shows she puts her "overflow" into one of her work buildings. 
This was the lovely booth space my friend Liz and I got to work.  It is Marta's overflow.  Of course, if you know Marta then you know she does nothing part way so this was decorated to the nines.  I wish I had half her talent of display.

I love all the windows.  And aren't those lockers wonderful?

If you loved this space just wait until part 3 when I share her main store.  It is open year round and you will want to visit it. 
Stay tuned.

Working at Marta's part 1

My friend Marta Ramos has a sale twice a year at her place, Marta's Rooms Antiques.   I have been wanting to attend it for years.  I have actually wanted to set up and sell at one but helping work one of her spaces with my best friend Liz is a great time too.  
I took some pictures of some vendors before we started working.  Not many as it got busy really fast.

This was a very cute set up.  She used Marta's carport as the basis.  Loved the strip of fabric garland across the top. 

She had a purse that Sophie really wanted.  Maybe next time I said.  It is lovely.

These are awesome people we met that drive down once a year from Michigan to sell their awesome finds.  Krista has invited me to come junk with her once we are settled.  I can't wait to do it.  Look at that sleigh- is it not beautiful?  They sold out everything except 5 items by 1pm the first day.

I loved this booth set up.  They actually covered the whole top of the tent with sewn together burlap bags then draped burlap to hide the poles.  It was a fun space - Shades by Fran.

This was a fun space- had some things I'd like to have had. :)

This woman sets up at Warrenton in Round Top.  Her items were to die for.. Many that were screaming my name.

Look at these canisters...glass, chalkboard and rusty tops- hear the angels singing?

Another booth with amazing finds.  I actually bought a bunch of project pieces from the nice lady behind this booth.

I wish I had been able to take more pictures but we were slammed with customers.  That is a good thing and what I was there for.
I did manage to get some photos of Marta's overflow building we were working in and then I'll share some photos someone else took of her main building- oh my goodness - her skill at display is second to none.

She holds this sale twice a year - November and April- if you are anywhere close to Belton, Texas you should plan to hit the next one.  You will not be disappointed.
