Prepping for the Geranium Festival


Busy, busy, busy trying to get some work done on Heather's shutters for the Geranium Festival on Saturday, May 18th. The festival will be on the square in beautiful McDonough, Georgia. In addition to selling her Day of the Dead paintings, Heather will also be doing face painting. Great art work done by a fabulously talented young lady at reasonable prices too! I heard she even take credit cards! Come see us.

But, back to the shutters and other projects. I keep finding spots I missed when I initially painted these shutters. They were white and yellow but the artist requested black so the spray gun had to be put to use.  I guarantee there will be at least one can of "rattle can" black on hand for the day of the festival.  In the process of building display shelves for the corners. Need to make them easy to attach for future festivals.


Had to stop and glue this one back together. Here's a tip - it is cheaper to buy glue in big jars and then put it in clean 20 oz soda bottles to make it easier to use.

One other project that we finished this week was this child's table and chair. The pink is pretty bright and the chalkboard top should make some child very happy. It will be up at one of our booths at Front Porch of the South sometime this week.
Have a wonderful, productive day and we will check in again soon.

Hello from Will's Workshop! It's been way too long since I have had time for my blog! To bring you up-to-date. We are now in four cities/towns. We have three booths in the "Front Porch of the South" Columbus Ga. Booths A19, A24 and O3. We are in "Country Home Furnishings of Cataula" in Cataula Ga. "Corner Arts Gallery and Studio" in Newnan Ga. and "Southern Home and Ranch" in Carrollton Ga.

We just finished our first festival at Country Home Furnishings in Cataula Ga. We had a great time meeting and sharing information with people who enjoy doing the things we love. If your ever in the Columbus Ga or Callaway Gardens area you really should stop and visit with Helen and Anna May at Country Home Furnishings. They are located on Hwy 27 between Callaway and Columbus.
     
Just a reminder! We build custom furniture on a very limited basis.
