a day of flea marketing and marketing!

Yesterday was a full day...off to the flea market in the morning and then on to the Minneapolis gift market. The flea market was on the grounds of a old farm stead here in Minnesota, Dunn brothers bought the homestead a few years ago and turned the house into a coffee shop...what a great location for a flea market! Here are some pictures of the event...I had to buy this little brown shoe!! there was only one but it was speaking to me. I think I will embellish it with some old buttons and maybe make it into a pin cushion...so cute. Most of these pictures were taken of my friend Jane Hall's (Mustard Moon)booth...I have featured her once a month sales on my blog before...I love her junk! it is always unique and she has the best prices around...Jane is always a day brightener. The picture of the bottom of this post is of Jane and our friend Lynn...I really didn't want to leave this great setting but Lynn had buying to do at our local gift market, We had to shift gears and think Christmas! yikes. I have been out of the business for a couple years now but I still like to go to market and help Lynn with the decision making...the problem was not many decision were made, there wasn't much new to see. We just wanted to find a few new items but only found one! not good. Therefore no pictures of market...maybe next time! I hope a good weekend was had by all!

seven things tag...


I have been tagged by Lisa at vintagesweetpeas.blogspot.com/ I was asked to post seven random or weird facts about myself... here goes. 1. I have known my husband since I was in the second grade. 2.I live in a town of only 5,000 people. 3. I am a emotional eater. 4. I am mathematically challenged. 5. I color my own hair. 6. I like to listen more than talk. ( I think that is why I am having a hard time with these seven things!) 7. I can't carry a tune! wow. I am glad that is over, that was harder than I thought it would be! now on to more fun items, I just received my necklace that I ordered online from Lisa Leonard...I love it, check out her website! this picture is horrible, my initals are punched into a sterling silver disk with a sweet pearl that dangles from it..Lisa is such a inspiration!

the boys of summer

I have been wanting a flip video camera for awhile now and I got one on ebay the other day...this is what summer is all about...spending time with family at my nephew Logan's ball game. Now remember this is my first attempt at using this camera so it is a little jumpy! but I will get the hang of it...press the arrow and take a peek.
