December

It's already December and a time to gather your friends and family close and remember the good times and try to forget the bad times.

It's been busy and probably, as for everyone, the holiday season brings lots of hussle and bussle, shopping, and family gatherings. Please take a little time to hug those you love.

My last post of 2011. Here's hoping for a bright and happy 2012!

Happy Thanksgiving

Some days are harder than others as I move forward from one life into another but I am so lucky to have so many friends that help and support me in all I do. They make me laugh and they hug me when I cry.

I am thankful.

Good News and Gooder News

Well it's been awhile since I published on my blog as time is speeding by.

I was asked to sell at Matilda's Mouse in Valley Center and with my partners Bonnie P. and Bonnie M. we quickly got our space ready for the first weekend in November show.

It was hard work but we pulled it off and had fun meeting new people and sold some great STUFF.

Now we are getting ready for Matilda's next sell December 2,3, 4th. If you've never been, you need to go and see how much work goes into creating a winter wonderland.

In between my friend, June and I celebrated our birthday on November 10th with a Caravan ride at Safari Park in Escondido. Wow, it was fun being close up with the animals and feeding giraffes, and rhinos.

Also, on the SAME weekend of Matilda's we are doing The Vintage Marketplace, one of our favorites. An outdoor faire that brings lots of vendors from far away with great buys.

Make a day of it and visit Matilda's and The Vintage Marketplace. I don't think you'll be disappointed. The Vintage Marketplace is Dec. 2 and 3 and Matilda's Dec. 2, 3, 4.

Check out the web site for details.

Hope to see you there!

Something old into Something Beautiful

My friend, June, called the other day and asked me if I wanted this.



Of course, I said "I want it!"

A little paint and I think it's beautiful!

Vintage Marketplace at the Oaks

Well, if you are a shopper of fun, vintage, antique, rusty, unique items then you probably where at the Vintage Marketplace at the Oaks in Fallbrook last weekend.

Bonnie and I did our first show and had a great time. We appreciate all our friends coming out to support us and visit with us and check out all the other great vendors at the show. There were 40 vendors altogether with lots of great STUFF.

Fun was had by all and we will be back December 2 and 3rd with more STUFF, more fun, more vintage. Can't wait!



Thanks Rita and Christie :)

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.
