Getting Ready For The Fall Show!

Things are hopping around here!

In only a couple of weeks we will be setting up for the Fall Show at Monticello.

I am feeling a little claustrophobic as all the items for the show are beginning to fill up our home.

Underneath all the fabric on the above photo is a chair.

A wonderful old vintage chair.

It's in very sad shape but I had big plans for it...I don't know if that project will be done.

Why do I do that?

We brought home a lot of wonderful items this week-end, I wish I would have taken pictures of the van it was packed!

In the midst of getting ready for the show I thought it was way past time to rip up the deck and put a new one down!

What's one more project!

We're half way there, one more half of the deck to complete!

If you're in the area be sure to stop by the Monticello for the Fall Show.

It opens Septembr 9th, at 8:00 in the morning!

It should be another great show!

Farm Auction

We had to make a decision.

Should we stay home and hit the estate sales locally or hit the road and go to a farm auction.

We decided the farm auction was the way to go, and we're glad we did.

We had a great time!

I love on-site auctions!

It made for a long day but the weather was beautiful and we came home with a few treasures.

It was a good day!

As happy as can be!

When I can't seem to find her anywhere...I stop and look in my laundry cart!

When she was a wee thing, about a month ago, I would sew at the kitchen table.

She always wanted to be near so I would tuck her away behind me in my laudry cart.

She would settle in as happy as could be.

Miss Brooks is settling in quite nicely, although she torments her brother and sisters quite regularly.

Kari, this is a post for you and your mom and also the sweet girls at the shop!

And anyone else who might be interested!

Hope your week-end has been as relaxing as Miss Brooks.

A July Wedding!

Let me start off by saying, "July has been one busy month!"

This past week was filled with a wedding and a full week of camping.

As you may remember from a previous post my niece was getting married, July 16.

My sister asked if I would decorate for the reception and of course I wanted to.

(my sister and her two sons.)

Being 5 hours away, I can't help like I'd like to, so being a part of the wedding in this way was great!

I should say at this point I have a very talented sister-in-law who was so willing to jump in and help.

The area for the reception ran along the "Little Applegate River" it was quite beautiful.

Everyone helped...we had the guys opening up tissue flowers as we placed them around the chairs.

My niece's wedding had a country flair so I made aprons for all the ladies that helped with the food at the reception.

The wedding was lovely and the bride was beautiful!

A big "Thank you" to Kathy for helping me with the reception.

And a "Thank you" to my brother-in-law for taking all the photos.
