Finally, he is here!
I've been a little sidetracked from business lately. My brand new grandson came into this world on Wednesday! I've got better things to do than work right now πŸ˜‰ They are all doing great and so incredibly happy!
I'll be spending as much time as possible with them until I head to Peoria, Illinois on June 13th for the Moss Avenue Antique Sale.

Ok so, to all my creative friends out there, you had to have experienced this. You set out to create a specific thing but once you start you realize you can't go there...I was going to cut flowers that I would go on to paint with all the pretty colors but the tin was just to gorgeous IMO to cover. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Couldn't do it! Rusty beauty it is! πŸ˜‰ maybe I'll cut some flowers from good Ole corrugated later.

Off to 3rd Sunday I go!
It might not look like a lot of goodies could be in this load but you would be wrong. A serious game of tetris and I'm on the road with no trailer! Hopefully, better gas mileage 🀩
It might look like the Clampet's but I've got a business to run. πŸ€‘

Junkstock, THANK YOU!
I can't say how blessed I feel when leaving Junkstock!
You all showed up and the repeat shoppers just blow me away how you always manage to find something new to purchase! Thanks so much 😘
This one was a roller-coaster of emotions for me. It was the first in 14 yrs that my girls, Jezabelle and Nellie weren't there with me. πŸ˜‡πŸΆ I missed them so much!
A celebration of life and a babyshower the first weekend. So I could only be at the show on Friday. The second weekend was all about my community. My junkin family. I look so forward to spending time with my like-minded friends. So relaxing. Good food and show talk.

Thanks again,
