fransar sign made from an old "creeper"

My idea originally was to build a sign for the market from some scrap pallet wood I had.  But after hitting some garage sales last weekend...I found the perfect sign!  I didn't know what you call these until I just googled it, its a  "creeper." (old mechanic cart used to slide under the car)  The man I bought it from looked at me like I was crazy when I was so excited to have found it.  I took the pillow and casters off...sanded it down and hand painted the sign.  I liked the end result. 

urban table...

I bought this table at the market.  It needed some tlc...and I added the stained wood that I had left over from a previous project.  This table will be at the Fremont Market July 24th. 

white candelier

Found inspiration for this lovely in the book Downtown Chic.  If you haven't checked out this book...you must!

little black dresser...

This dresser will be at the Fremont Market on July 24th. 

Fransar will be at the next Fremont Market July 24th.

If any of you would like to check out the latest furniture/lighting from Fransar, I will be at Fremont Market July 24th.  I plan on being there every other Sunday.  See you there!!

sheek grey desk

 

Saw the potential in this homemade 80's blue desk.  I cut and sanded pallet wood from picture above to front the drawers.  Taking palletts apart is not an easy task but the end result is fantastic...thanks Retta for helping me rip them apart! 

metal box as a side table

Upon finding these boxes at a salvage yard, (I have another one for sale at the vintage angel with the original lid attached) I knew they would be nice little tables on casters.  I drilled holes at the base to attach wheels.  Thanks Ray for the glass!!!  Glad you saved it!!!

cowboy belt and drift wood

An old cowboy belt cut up and bolted to drift wood.   (I wanna hear some more cowbell!!)

National Folk Artist- Butch Anthony

You can find more pictures of Butch Anthony's work and the home he built in this article:  http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/08/garden/08doonanny.html



Looking for inspiration for some upcoming chandeliers, I revisited some pictures I had saved of folk art chandeliers.  Checking out the Alabama Chanin website ages ago, I fell in love with Butch Anthony's cow jaw bone chandelier.  I was amazed to find out that Mr. Anthony builds cabins, makes art out of junk and hosts the annual "Doo Nanny" fest in Alabama.  Hope you enjoy the artist shootout!

Fransar will be at the Fremont Sunday Market this weekend!!!

Stop by and visit us at the Fremont Sunday Market July 10th along with my friend Jenny Banker of redwaterlilly.  We will have quite a selection of furniture and redwaterlilly's lovely handmade purses and hair flowers. Happy July!!!

“We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.”  - Woodrow T. Wilson
