... that's what I always say and life sure has been
" GOOD "!
Last week was spent preparing for the Gathered Treasures show.
Friday we left home bright and early heading for Mansfield, Ohio.
After getting our booth set up we just hung around
catching up with old friends and making news ones as well.
My dear friend Lynn Ann Davis was there and she
introduced me to Fay Stanfield the owner of
I don't think there is anyone who is anyone that Lynn doesn't know in the world of Prim.
It was a pleasure meeting Fay she was so nice and I look forward to seeing her again.
I also got to meet Cecilia Taylor/Hen House Primitives.
Another sweet kindred spirit.
She loved our booth and invited us to do her show,
May 22,2010
at the Fair Hill Maryland Fairgrounds.
We haven't decided if we do the show.
I'll keep you posted.
Saturday was show day. It was cold , but that didn't stop the shoppers from coming out.
The show was a good one and a lot of fun as well.
When I get home from Gathered Treasures and checked my e-mail.
I had an e-mail from Twigs, editor for Mercantile Gatherings.
They want to feature my home and business in their magazine.
I was told to take tons of summer photos because they plan to feature me in the summer of 2011.
To my surprise there was also a e-mail from
Bill Mathews, photographer for Country Sampler.
He wanted to know if would like to have my home photographed for
Country Sampler.
I had to chuckle. I guess he's to busy taking pictures to look at the magazine!
I'll let them photograph my house again if they want....;)
So, what else have I been up to?
Well, flea market season has started up and we have been setting up there selling our wears.
I have come to the conclusion that peddling is in my blood.
I think it comes from my Dad,who was always looking for a way to make a buck.
Be it selling cars, to Christmas trees( we had a lot next to our home)....you name it he always seemed to have something for sell.
I'm also in the process of making a few changes around the house and I will post pictures once I'm done.
I want all of my blogging buddies to know I've been keeping
up with your post as much as possible.Below are photos of booth from the Gathered Treasures Show.
Blessings to all,

I just told my husband "I want to live in Ohio":)
