A Few More Pics

Here are a few more pictures of our Marburger Farms show! Enjoy!

This is a cool cupboard base and top Craig married together. This is one of several things Rachel Ashwell bought.

As you can see I love picture frames.

Marburger Fall Show

Craig and I had a great time in Texas. We got to see all our old friends, make some new ones and best of all we sold tons of junk! It was helpful that we had the extra truck with inventory on it. We had some very large items this time, a 10ft. table with 6 legs, a church arch that was 7ft. tall and 7ft. wide, and a very heavy 8ft. tall cupboard that was all one piece. Thank goodness all the very large pieces sold and we didn't have to reload them. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

This salvage piece was to die for. Two ladies that build small cottages in Round Top are going to put it in their next cottage. They also bought a chandelier from Italy and a cool mantel to go in the house. I can't wait to see pictures of it.

This is the huge one piece cupboard.

Ran out of shelf space so I had to resort to hanging stuff up!

I like the sugars and creamers hanging on the mantel.

This cute little cupboard went to Linda of the Willows Nest. Some the things I sold this time seemed hard to part with. Most of the time I can let things go without a thought. I will post more pictures later!

Home At Last

Wheeeeeee! We are finally home! We had a great show, but it's always great to come back home! I guess it's true what they say there is no place like home.

I got to meet a lot of great bloggers that came looking for me. I was happy to meet each and every one of you. I loved it when someone came in the booth and said are you Theothertheresa? I met people from all over the US and one woman from Canada.

We had a record breaking show at Marburger. Not a lot of dealer sales, but a huge retail crowd. Although I did meet some new dealers. Oh, and my new booth space at the end of the tent was great.

Got to see and talk to Nancy Soriano and Frances Bailey from Country Living, that was a treat! Frances looked me up so she could tell me a couple of pictures of the house made it into the 2009 CL date book.

And boy, was it great to get to spend time will all my friends! There was only one person missing from the posse and that would be Sharon! Hopefully she can make it in the spring.

I got to see me son on two different occasions, and he is doing well.

I will post pictures soon!

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!

Theresa is fine!

To let everyone know our Sweet Theresa Cano is fine! She doesn't have any electricity, so she can't e-mail or post! Hopefully she will be back on line soon!

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.
