Happy Easter

As most of you know , I collect old postcards , advertising and scrap .  I use these images to create my pillow covers.  These images are just too beautiful to be forgotten.  This is one of my favorite Easter postcards.  It's so vibrant and whimsical.  I think we would all love to see a tiny little chick bringing spring flowers to us.  I know I would!!  Have a blessed Easter .

It's Show Time

Yes, it's that time of the year , for our first show.  We are heading out today for Nashville, TN., to The Vintage Marketplace Tailgate Antiques Show at the Hendersonville Expo Center.  It should be a great show.  This is the second year for the The Vintage Marketplace to be included in this long running antique show.  Lots of great vendors, eye candy and yes, even entertainment.  The show runs Feb. 14th - 16th, so bring your sweetheart out for a good time .
Finished packing the trailer at about 2 am this morning, then pack our suitcases  and now it's time to hit the road.   Hope to see you there.

Make New Friends But Keep The Old

   

Well,  2012 was a pretty good year .  I have no complaints.  I was very blessed all in all,  with good health for me and my family.  You can't really ask for more than that.  So thankful!

We also made a lot of  new friends...., show friends , picker friends, shopper friends, and junker friends.   Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other is gold.  That's a song I learned in Brownies, years ago, and it's so true.  You just never forget somethings.
