Well, I went back to the gym this morning after taking the last three weeks off. Everything was startin to ache&pain again, plus of course; this weight ain't comin off by itself! How's everyone else doing with their goals? John and I are still going on that cruise to Alaska in August, even tho the crafting bit of it was cancelled due to lack of responses, so I reckon if I start NOW and lose 2 pounds/week I'll be just fine!
Never did show you the pics of the antique show we did last week. Three of us shared this sunporch type 'room' along the main hall that housed 18 other vendors. This shot should give an idea:
That's my Hall china in the white bookcase. Most of it's headin for ebay now.
The wire rack in the center of the above pic is an old Frito's display rack. Has clips along both sides...I think if you click it and enlarge you can see how handy it was for displaying my carded rhinestone jewelry.
People walked in and paid their $1 admission right there at the beginning of our space. It was interesting to see their faces when they looked ahead into our room...if it was men only, they'd take one look ahead at all that pink and blue and fluffery and make a SHARP left turn in to the main bldg. HAHA! I'd say only about 5% of the people were really enthralled and OMGosh! about it. The same show last year was when I first came across Larissa. Thought I'd found a long lost sister! Anyway, the only problem with sharing a space with the 'cool girls' is looking at all that cool stuff! Before the weekend was over I'd def spent more than I'd made. I got this ladder and baskets:
Will use it for the craft show this weekend and my dream studio that we WILL be building out back before too long. Also got this sweet child's desk and chair.
Not sure if it'll stay pink, but it'll be part of a space devoted to visiting grandchildren in the new studio as well. I figure for now if I keep buying for it and talking about it it WILL happen. Oh. That reminds me...our Hancock Fabrics is going out of business..selling right down to the fixtures...they have a great space saving spinner rack that I need to go buy today.
One last pic and I'll close for now. Getting ready for the big craft show this weekend and having company as well so don't be surprised if this is my last post for the week!
My Hancock's is going out too! I'm so bummed! All your stuff looks AMAZING!

OOH! Wish I was shopping there! It looks great and I know how much work it is to set up a pretty display like that! And you never spend more than you make--you're just "investing"--remember you can't make money if you don't spend it! That's what my show friends and I say! Flawed logic that seems to work for us! xo-Melfie

Jen, I am so jealous. I wish I had a place like that to go to. And I adore the ladder too. Kim.

WOW! THis looks FANTASTIC!!! I LOVE how it is all set up, and if I was there, I know I would not come out empty handed!!! I was wondering what you were going to do about the cruise. I called them recently to get some info and found out the art part had been cancelled. I think you will have a great time anyway!
