MIA

Sorry guys, I will be MIA for the next 2 weeks. I guess you figured that out since all I've been talking about is Texas! We will be leaving tomorrow about 6:30pm as soon as I get off work! I'm sure the day will drag on forever, cause I can't hardly wait to leave! We will drive for a few hours then pull into a camp ground for a good nights rest. On Tuesday we will drive to New Salem, TX, so I can spend a couple of hours with my son, that will surely be the highlight of my trip! From there we are only 5 hours away from Marburger Farms. So hopefully we will arrive shortly after lunch on Wednesday!! O boy then I get to go shopping!! WWhhheeeeee!!! I will be taking tons of pictures! So stay tuned I will be back Oct. 7th.

Texas Time

It's hard to believe I talked to 2 of my friends and they are already setting up in Texas, and we don't even leave until Monday afternoon! God bless those souls who set up for 10 to 14 days from daylight to dark trying to get every last customer! That's not for me! I tried that for a few shows and it sucks! I would rather be at Marburger Farms for a mere 5 days (with it's grand opening day) and have a decent hour to open and close. Marburger draws such a good crowd, usually the sales are as good in 5 days as they are in 14 days! Plus, there is more ME time to get out and shop for junk. I love Marburger Farms, if you've never been there your missing out. Marburger sports some of the best decorated booths around. The first time I ever stepped foot on the grounds my chin fell to the floor, I couldn't believe there was so much talent grouped together in one huge cow pasture! Of course maybe decorating doesn't interest you, but for me that's what it's all about. It's a way for me to get my fix! Junk is the drug of choice for me. It's so fulfilling for me to take and pile of junk and make it look like a million dollars. So make plans now to come and check out the show!

Excitement *@^#!

The excitement here is just to much for me to handle! Call after call from my fabulous friends from all over the US!! Everyone feels the same way about the up coming trip to Texas.
All the hoopla and the fact my inventory is not ready
yet is about to make me have a
NERVOUS BREAK DOWN!!!
Don't get me wrong, I love
and adore my friends!
What would life be without friends that make you laugh so hard you pee you pants! (Lauri and LuLu)! Or friends that you can talk to about anything in this world and you don't have to worry about them repeating what you said! (Theresa)! Or friends that you make an instant soul connection with! (Sharon)! Lets not forget friends that share the same passion as you do! (Shelly)! Lord this list could go on and on, but I got work to do so I can get to Texas ASAP!!

He Made It!

Clayton called 7:50pm from his dad's house and HE MADE IT IN ONE PIECE!! Thank goodness!! He called me about ten times today to let me know each time he changed routes and told me he was on the right road. That was a huge comfort to me through out the day. Thanks to everyone who said a prayer for him. Ands thanks for all who wanted to give me a big hug. I'm sure I have many tear filled days ahead of me. At least he's not gone off to war! I really feel for all the mothers that have sons and daughters in war! Those mothers have made the ultimate sacrifice and we should remember them daily.

Bitter Sweet

The tears have been flowing here since 4:30am this morning. My baby boy has left the nest! Even though you want your children to grow up and have a life of their own, it's hard to let them go. This is a hurt my heart has never felt before!! My girls moved out, but they didn't go far. My baby boy will be 725 miles away from home. I hope and pray he gets there safely.

Beverly Hillbillies go to Texas

Craig is loadin the truck for it's long journey to Texas. I told you in a previous post my son is moving to Texas and he leaves on Monday. His poor little truck is not capable of making the trip. So I came up with the bright idea to let him pull his truck to Texas with our big truck, and take a load with him at the same time. Because we have some mammoth things to get to Texas for this show and I'm afraid we will run out of space. We drive right by his dads house in Henderson, Tx. so it is no problem to stop and get the truck.
BUT!!! I am trusting a 18 year old BOY, (Who by the way lost his wallet with $350 in it a couple of days ago) to get this load to Texas safely!! EVERYONE PRAY!!! Right now!! Move away from your computer and fall to your knees!! PLEASE!!! I will be on pins and needles till I get the call that he has made it in one piece.

Here are few pics of Craig loading the truck.

He is sawing thin pieces of plywood

for padding so things don't rub together.

Boy, thats some good looking stuff on there!

Your doing a good job Craig!

I spy Craig, can you?


Make sure you get all that stuff tied down good Craig. OMG!!!
Don't want anything flying off and busting out some ones windshield!

Do you think we have it full enough????




Would Jed and Granny be happy??
Granny still has room on top of the cab for her rocker!!

Refindmaisonjardin

I had the pleasure to meet Pat Mallory at the Lakewood 400, at the Aug. show. She has a shop in Powder Springs, GA. I finally found her blog this morning, refindmaisonjardin, which has all the address info about her shop. You have to go check it out. Laurie from the 2chippys went and she thought it was FAB-U-LOUS!! Lauri did a post on her shop, check that out as well. I can't wait to go see it for myself.

My Booth Lakewood 400

Sorry it's taken me so long to post pics of my booth at Lakewood 400, but you know how it is, to many irons in the fire! My 18 year old son is leaving home on Sept. 1st to move to Texas to live with his dad. So I've been busy trying to prepare him for his journey. I'm not real sure how I'm going to deal with him being gone from home! Matter of fact I'm about to cry just thinking about it! Sorry!

But I did promise pics of my booth.

I thank all the great customers we had at the show. I can't wait to go back in Oct. I know this is the same stuff I had at the Evansville, Ind. show, but remember I didn't sell, so we just took what was on the truck!

1of 2Chippys House

The highlight of my trip to Atlanta was spending time with the 2Chippys! We went to dinner one night and after we ate LuLu went on her way and I got to go to Lauri's house! What a treat! Her house is very pretty. Hope you guys enjoy the pics.

Me with 2Chippys!

Lauri has tons of ironstone, one of my favorite things to collect.

And my all time favorite is butter pats! She is trying her best to get more than me! I think she has succeeded, at last count I have 140 and I think she is up to 170! Bitch!

I love how she stacks things up randomly.

Check out the butter pats under the glass dome! LLOOVVEEIT!!

She decorates with a lot of color, bling and fluff stuff.

This is a small table in her kitchen. (more butter pats)

Buffet in her dinning room with all kinds of treasures on it.

Sharon this ones for you!

Some of these goodies she bought from me! She has good taste!

Frenchie chest in her living room.

Look Shelly, brown transfer ware and Lauri said it's for sale.

This clock case is in the bathroom.

This is Lauri with her son 20 years ago! She definitely has 80's hair!

So Excited!

I'm so excited I just had to tell you girls. I am featured on the AOL Decorating page! If you go to the AOL homepage then click on Decorating, there's my house. Chic Double Wide! Not sure what's up with that, but it's OK by me! Some of my customers from the Lakewood 400 told me about it, or I would have never known! Check it out!
