Getting Ready for the Show "The Really Big Shuw"

ha ha if you're old enough to remember Ed Sullivan (dating myself) then you get the "shuw" part if not I apologize :}

I am having fun getting ready for "The Vintage Marketplace at the Oaks" September 9 and 10!

I shipped 17 boxes!!! to myself from the midwest when I attended the 650 mile garage sale. Whoa, next time I'm taking the car for sure.




I got some great things and some wonderful vintage clothes and crinoline slips. Hope to see you there.

Vintage Marketplace September 9, 10, 2011

Bonnie Petersen and myself will be selling for the first time at Christie's and Rita's Vintage Marketplace in Rainbow.

We are so excited and thankful that Rita and Christie has allowed us to become one of their vendors. We have been fans of their shows since the beginning and love the shopping and friendship it has provided.



We're working hard to bring everyone some unique and fun vintage items.

Don't miss the sale, it will be fun.

Put on the Feedbag Baby

No not food! I got some great feed sacks at an auction in Iowa and they make great pillows don't you think? CUTE :}

Painting and Organizing?

My friend, Kat gave me a cute little rolltop desk and I thought I could use it in my bedroom to "organize" my paperwork....well maybe it will work. tee hee

Anyway, I decided to paint it. It took a whole other direction while painting, doesn't it always? I liken it to old weathered wood. I got it in my bedroom ready to "organize".

Maybe another day I will change the color as the mood strikes but for now loving it!

Thanks Kat!

ALittle Look at Walnut Iowa

Thought I'd show you a small town in Iowa where I'm staying. Walnut, Iowa population 875.

This is Linda and Vern's home where I'm staying.




There little street.


This used to be their bed and breakfast on the main street, they still own the little house next door where we will be selling Linda's stuff on Saturday during their town's 3 day walk.


Downtown Walnut 9:30am








Road out of town. Did you miss it? Ha ha

this and That in Iowa

It's kinda overcast aNd rainy today but suppose to be in the 80's by the end of the week with High humidity fun!

We went over to Peace Haven today to put on a little program for the retirement home. Linda is in charge of her churches presentation once a year. We sang and played game and had homemade strawberry pies yummmmm

The other day we went to another town to get groceries (no grocery store in her hometown) and on the way home ran into a caravan of tractors going down the road...must have been a 100. I took a video but darn it can't make it work.

At American Pickers fest we saw a lady that had kitty shoes and sense Linda is considered "the cat lady" she had to buy a pair. of corse those shoes were Doc Martens and pretty high priced bur I found a knock off pair on the net. Aren't they cute?







We were busy cleaning our finds from the thrift store and Bo thought he get in on the cleaning.






See this cool old stove, it sold for $20 at the auction the other day!!!!!!!!!!





Well I'm off to watch the corn grow, more later.

Auction in Iowa
