Shop Talk with Shabby Love

I wanted to do a regular series on my blog, something unique that hasn't been done before. I came up with an idea to feature small shops, that are located throughout the country. So, every Friday you can stop by and check out a new shop, and at the same time meet the owner. This week it gives me great pleasure to introduce you to Melissa from SHABBY LOVE! After you finish shopping, you can click here to visit Melissa's blog.

 
Hello everybody! Melissa from Shabby Love here! I was so excited when Linda asked me to be apart of her new series showcasing booths and shops! I am ecstatic to be here today sharing my space with you!!
 
I have been a vendor at Collette's Vintage in Burton, MI for two years now! I do have a full time job, so keeping up on my booth is a fun little hobby I do on the side and I have truly enjoyed every minute of it! It gives me a reason to shop and another place besides my home to decorate! ;)
 
I decorate my booth very similar to how I decorate my home - whites, wood tones, metal, rustic, farmhouse. 
 


 My husband built this step back cupboard as a display piece and I still absolutely love it!! 
 


We set up this faux barn wood mantle for Christmas, but I'm not quite ready to take it down yet. It gives my booth such a great rustic touch! 


 




 








One of my favorite things about having my booth is being able to decorate for the different seasons. At home I usually only decorate for Fall and Christmas mostly because I don't have the space to store all the seasonal decor. I get to have a bit more fun here! 
 


 

 

My husband is even in on the action a bit with his shelf he decorates with vintage sports and bar items. We jokingly refer to his area as the Manly Side of Shabby. I think he should make a sign. :)







 
 

My booth is right between the cash register and an aisle so I purposely left both sides of my booth open. I see people constantly use it as a pass through. I'm totally fine with that as it means more traffic through my space!! 


I'm still on the hunt for two windows to finish off my little half walls.
 






 





I've been collecting woodland items for a few months now and I cannot wait to redo my booth with all the new goodies once Easter is over!!!









I hope you enjoyed the tour of my booth!! And, I hope you will come over and visit me on my blog or Facebook page anytime. I regularly share new finds, new projects, and booth updates! 
 
Thank you so much Linda for having me! I'm very honored to be apart of your series!!

I love the idea of this post series. As a dealer myself, I'm always looking for inspiration in my own space. I saw so many things I loved . . . but my favorite was the bowl with blue blossoms and the sweet little lamb. Awesome!
