It took a week of doing nothing but rearranging. I had help two days and not everything in the shop has been moved. There are still things not in place. And, did I say, it still took a whole, stinkin’ week! It whipped me. Mentally and physically. Kicked me in the shins. Made me rethink [...]
As promised — I’m really impressed with myself that I’m actually following up on this the very next day — here are pictures of the things we drug out from the junk yard. Somehow, I think I’m missing something. We had a trailer load and this doesn’t look like that much… Oh, shoot. I did [...]
Subtitled: Erin and Wanda’s BIGGER Adventure
Did I tell y’all my sister-in-law, Lisa, put her monogramming business in the shop with me? She did that last August, but is going back to work. Work that carries a regular, known amount paycheck and insurance. So she’s leaving me. I’ll miss her. I’d got used to her being [...]
We’re in the south. Sales never truly stop, but they do slow down toward the end of the year and the first of the new year. They are now beginning to pick back up. Last weekend was gorgeous and there were more sales out on Saturday.
So where’s all the good stuff? I found a precious [...]
We had a birthday party /slash/ craft night before Valentine’s Day and I wanted to share with you some of the things we made and gifts that were received.
We made button flowers. These were fun and oh, so easy! The ones pictured above were mine. Melanie chose a red and white Valentine’s theme:
Unfortunately, I didn’t [...]
Whew! What a busy, hectic couple of weeks it’s been! I’m happy to say business in the shop has picked up, but that’s kept me away from the computer. And our internet at home went down over the weekend. It was in and out for about a week, but went kaput Friday night. We think [...]
Congratulations to Tracey of French Larkspur. She won the Vintage Valentine Giveaway. All your names were put into a list randomizer and Tracey’s came up on top. What’d she win? This:
If you haven’t visited Tracey’s blog, please do. Now. It’ll make your eyes happy. I promise. Beautiful!
That was fun! I’ll be plundering around to [...]
Man, this week’s been hectic busy! Good busy for the most part. There’ve been a lot of people in and out of the shop. Some buyers and some chatters. But I’ve not had any blog time and it only takes a couple of days before I’m waaaay behind in reading everyone’s posts. That task lies [...]
So I was at one computer the other night, minding my own business when my husband rushed into the room and said, “Quick! Turn the TV on channel 40!”
Have you seen American Pickers on The History Channel? I don’t get excited about much on TV these days. I rarely even turn it on. Thursday nights [...]
OK. So it’s still not the most fabulous thing any of us have ever seen – unless your world is horribly drab and ugly and I know none of my blog friends live in that world – but at least it’s earning it’s keep and didn’t get tossed back out on the street.
The sofa fabric [...]
