Bake Sale!

I wanted to share a few pictures of the bake sale we held at our local elementary school carnival. Generous parents donated the baked goods and I was in charge of decorating. Here's what we did...

Since Mr. Right just built this "Sweet Shop" window for another event, I thought that would make the perfect theme.Here's a little sneak peak at a buffet I recently refinished. I picked this one up for $10.00- I'll be sharing the before pics soon. The chalkboard was a wood frame I picked up for $1.00 at a yard sale and then Home Depot cut a board to fit the back.
We used several of my furniture pieces to display the goodies.

These Neiman Marcus cookies for two tickets ($1.00) sold out fast
Here I was able to reuse some of the decorations I made for Laura's baby shower last year. If you missed the shower visit it here. I love chairing the bake sale for the elementary. It gives me a chance to display all my garage sale glassware and make some money for the school. This year we sold out 30 minutes before the carnival ended and made over $350. Let me know what you think of the sweet shop. Love, Kelly
