Hi Dear Friends.... I hope your Memorial Day was fabulous!!! we had a wonderful time on Saturday with some friends who came down from the Boston MA. area. They came down to see their lovely grand daughter graduate from High School  here in our town of Woodstock. This is me in the middle with Rosie and Doug who are a wonderful couple that a friend of mine introduced us to. They brought something with them for me to try called "Mona Vie". It is a drink made with a high antioxidant content which has been helping many people with Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Cancer, Diabetes....the list goes on.

 Hi my Sweet Friends, I wanted to share with you my next handbag I have made for my booth. As I mentioned in my last post I am making handbags to sell for a wonderful cause. Many of you know KC Willis and her wonderful Cow Girl and American Indian collage's. A few months ago I started following                                        KC on Facebook and discovered she was making trips in her car from Colorad where she lives to Pine Ridge S. Dakota to visit the Lakota Indian Reservation. KC and many of her followers and friends have been donating their time, resourses and donations to help the Lokato help themselves. KC and her husband have driven thousands of miles with tuck loads of clothing, house hold items, food. Just about anything to help these beautiful people to become self effecient. Please go to my previous post and click onto the link to read what KC has been up to as of late. I have also donated to her cause and received a huge amount of

My Humble Little Booth....

Hi Sweet Friends!! How are you all doing??? I have not seen many of you in a long time... maybe you are on vacation?? Maybe you are not blogging anymore...or not as much....well thats me at the moment. I have not been blogging near as much as I use to. I thought I would show you one of my reasons and that is my humble little booth has been keeping me pretty busy. Last weekend my hubby and I did a total booth makeover. We moved some tables around and added a shelf or two and well before we knew it we had been there over 3 hours...tweaking!!  But it did all come together nicely I do believe. I share the booth with my girlfriend. We have various tastes and interests which makes for a wide variety and mixture of items that we sell. I recently completed a "Cow Girl" bag that was inspired by a friend of mine KC Willis. KC has been traveling as of late to the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota. she and her husband along with many other folks are c

"Part 2" ....My visit to the Antique Mall in Phoenix AZ.

Image
Hello sweet friends.... As promised I wanted to share a few more pictures that I took at the Antique Mall I visited with my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law. I just loved these sweet dresses hanging in the window.....don't you?? I remember wearing one like the dress on the right when I was young. I always loved getting new dresses...which my aunt from NY would send to me or my grandmother.  I still have a dress and a pink bathrobe my grandmother made for me. They are very dear to my heart.  Do you still have clothing that your mom made for you or your grandmother?? Let me know if there are any of you who have been able to keep these items through the years. Or maybe have passed them down to your children. While strolling through the antique mall I found the sweetest flowers attached to a linen curtain. This rose was actually outside near my in-laws house...I thought you would love to see it!! Another item that caught my eye was this paper wre

Ruth's Waltz.....

 Hi Friends, As you all know I was visiting family in Arizona for two weeks recently. During my visit I was able to go back to one of my favorite antique malls. The Merchants Square in Chandler Arizona has countless booths with everything from bathing suits made with sea shells to vintage toy trains and scrumptious booths with items you wish you had brought a truck to bring them all back home with you!!!! One booth in particular drew me in...As I was gazing longingly at all the wonderful items a lovely lady and I started to talk and as it turned out she was the owner of this lovely booth.  As we chatted with one another we found we shared some places in common where we use to live in N.J.  I asked Ruth if she would mind if I took some pictures of her booth and if she would allow me to do a post about her and her lovely booth.  Ruth was most gracious and accepted my offer. Yay!! The soft lamp light Ruth uses in her booth makes for a delightful and soothing stroll

Dad plays golf about three times a week and is happy as a clam....did you ever wonder how happy a clam could be? Lol  Can you believe there is a doves nest up in this Palm tree? Well there is. Mr and Mrs Dove wove some palm fronds and have quite a high rise condo up there!! I have never seen baby Doves before have you?? This is Mom and Dads backyard!! every morning I would take my coffee and sit here in the chaise lounge and...just relax...Ahhhh! This is Mom and I getting ready to leave for a ladies luncheon!!  The weather was just perfect!!  Here I am at the pool....This is the "cold "pool"...it felt good though!!!  I wanted to be there for Mom's birthday agai
