Living Green Expo

I have to say, I'm pretty excited. I've been invited to be a vendor at the Living Green Expo at the Williamson Country Ag. Center in Franklin, TN. It's this Saturday from 9:30 am until 3:30 pm. I really can't think of a better fit for someone like me who reuses and recycles in almost every project that I do than an event centered on greener living!
I was really tickled by the overwhelmingly positive response that I received from the organizers and I really look forward to exploring a new kind of event. I have to admit though, I'm a little nervous, too. This is typically not the kind of event that people go to looking for a wacky new lamp or funky, recycled jewelry, so we'll see if the audience is there.

Here are a few news pieces that will be available at the show this weekend:

Furniture for Porter Flea

I've finished a couple of pieces of furniture for Porter Flea. These, of course, are clearly Asian in their imagery, but I have a couple of pieces that have a decidedly southwestern/south-of-the-border feel. I've also got another one of those amazing vintage folding chairs that looks like a regular wooden chair with an upholstered seat, but then, BAM! You fold it down to a small square with a slight tug on the hidden release! Vintage and upcycled lamps and ALL kind of goodies await you at the Flea!
