Walk around Saturday

Remember when you were a kid and you couldn't wait for Saturday? We got a bowl of cereal, sat down in front of the TV and watched cartoons. It was expected of us and we were happy to oblige! Casper and the Friendly Ghost was one of my favorites.

Those days are long gone and I have adult responsibilities (at least for today) and this Saturday began very early!!! It's flea market day. I've been slowly cleaning out the garage and selling things at rock bottom prices. So low that it sort of catches in my throat to confirm the prices on the tags. "3 basket all for 50cents?" "Ahhhhhh, yes that's right".

With all that angst I need to be comfortable so I've fallen back on pieces that I've already debuted. I've added a scarf for a bit of flair.

7 March - National Crown Roast of Pork Day

I just get a kick that we make a celebration out of everything!

Friday, 5 March was Multiple Personality Day. I think it was named for me (but just this one time) Today Summer (Millesime Designs)and I took time out from running our shops to mark spaces and do all the last minute things for the First Annual Spring Flea Market, tomorrow at Sanford & Sons Antiques. This evening I've got to pull all the items I want to sell, clean them up, price them, list some of the items on Craigs and pack my car! Just writing this makes me tired all over again.

Up at 6am to be at Sanford's by 7. What was I thinking agreeing to work on this event?

The Flea Market was a great success. I sold a fair amount AND managed to keep most of my money. That's the secret you know, keep more $$$ than you buy!
I purchased a beautiful hand painted picture for $5, an embroidered piece I'll use for my dining room table ($5)and after looking over a light fixture I was thinking would work in my shop's office space - the vendor gave it to me, SWEET!! Just a bit of elbow grease and a trip to Home Depot (did you know they give a 10% discount to military folks?) for a lighting kit and it's ready to hang.
