The past few weeks have been a busy
time at the Rusted Nail Shop. First we completed another reclamation project of
a smoke house in Jasper Georgia. The tear down lasted half a day and the clean
up last half a week. Second was our big event of the year, The Apple Festival
in Ellijay Georgia was held this past weekend. Since it was our only show this
year we had no excuse to not put our best foot forward. We created many new projects
just for the show, which included a barrel table, a country cupboard and
probably the most popular a 5 drawer side table. Along with the new pieces we created a barn
wood frame for the tent that added a unique rustic feel to the booth. Unlike
some of the shows we did last year, we planned and executed every aspect our
display from the placement of our products to the positioning of our brochures
and cards. In the end the weather was great and the crowds were perfect. We
sold some pieces but more importantly we met many people that were genuinely interested
in our work.
Now we move forward with an eye for
the Christmas season. We are hoping to
get a few Christmas related projects completed and posted online. We also plan on building some projects that
have been on our to do list for some time now, that includes a bedroom set for
our online retailers, and a table for Jocelyn.
