FOR THE LAST 40 YEARS!

.

 

Where does the time go? It's already the 8 month of the year 2013. Seems like just yesterday it was August 4, 1973.

 

 

today August 4, 2013, Ron and I are celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. Forty years. 

Some great, some good, some successful, some not so, some exciting, some boring, some sad.

Ron and I have been together since high school.

  

He is my wing-man. Wing-guy? Wing-partner? Whatever.He is my words of wisdom. The guy that snaps me back to reality when I am thinking crazy. ( and I do that a lot) We dream. We plan. We plot. We work out the details. He is my best friend.  And I could not have done anything ( including raising two beautiful daughters) without him.

Kelli and Kristin

And here is why

He works a bazillions hours (at a real paying job) then I have him  hunting down vintage goods,(for my junk business) dragging them home, cleaning them up, repairing them, building new pieces, then doing it over AND OVER AGAIN.

I'd like to say I look forward to forty more years, but since that's not possible we will enjoy every day as if we were newly weds...(looking forward to year 2023)!
I love you! Dad

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!!

Have a safe and fun fourth of July!

Grey is still going strong!

Everywhere you look you see some form of gray color.  It's everywhere. I always say I am going to do something different but I always go back to my neutrals. I can't imagine this dresser any other color. It turned out great. Enjoy!

Breathe....

I must admit I  always breathe a  big sigh of relief when a flea market show is over, but this month it was bigger than normal. Summer is here and although the weather was beautiful it was warm. The crowd was some what lite on Friday, but a good showing on Saturday made up for it. I worked really hard this month trying to stay ahead of the trends and think outside the box. Custom orders were filled, farm tables were built, but good junk has been few and far between. Anyhow we made it, we showed it , we sold it, and made lots of friends along the way. We paid  a little tribute to the fourth of July that is coming up and loved every minute of the weekend. So take a breath and enjoy the pictures of what we had to offer.

Love,love, triple love!!

My heart skips a beat when I find ( and I never do) brown transfer ware. I just can't get enough of it.
