...treats?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Just back from a 'quick' Anniversary weekend to the shore ~ had a WONDERFUL time ;-) !

Hopefully no 'tricks' today - Local church Rummage Sale this morning!!!  Back later to share my 'treats'

HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY!

...one.

Yep.
One.
One. Plarn. Pumpkin.
The grand total of weeks of work & fret
culminated into one sale.
...and such goes 'Life on The Dark Side'
~BUT~
we had FUN.

...2 days and counting

Okay all you Bloggy Show Gurus, here's a 'Dry-Run'... ready for critique ~ give it to me!

(excuse the boxes and mess in the background - not a whole lot of space for the mock-up, and housekeeping has been on hold lately!!)

Did everyone note the 'Seaglass From the FingerLakes' sign?!?  Isn't it AWESOME?!?!  Pulled in a favor / trade and my 'PR' girl (I love saying that - sorry R!!) custom designed & MADE it for me - (from an ivory sheet of paper)!! I'm in love, but it REALLY makes all of my other signs look PATHETIC!

Partner in Crime - 'L' - in this adventure is coming with her wreath creations tomorrow to finish filling up this display that will sit at one end of the table.

Now... back to work!

...take WARNING.

Isn't that how the old saying about 'Pink sky in Morning' goes??

 Well, it seems we have been having a LOT of BEAUTIFUL PINK SUNRISES lately... or so they appear on the surface!

 

I think that there should be a similar WARNING about blogs.
  Blogs created by people with LOTS of talent.

Blogs created by people who are terribly organized.

Blogs created by people with wonderful photography skills.

SHOULD NOT BE READ BY THE HIGHLY IMPRESSIONABLE!!

 

As an avid thrifter, I have been known to start 'picking-up' things at sales because 'they are The HOT ITEM' in blog land... 



Everyone KNOWS you can't leave a CHEAP Shiny Brite behind...



 

TRAIN CASE?!? a 'MUST' that I now can't live without, and before BlogLand I didn't even know they existed!!

~ N O W ~
I have really crossed over to the
DARK SIDE....

Recently I was approached, and asked to be a vendor in a SMALL, Local Fall handmade Farm Market....

and I agreed.

 

 

I have never done this before.

I blame YOU Blogland!

 (Yes, 'You' KNOW who you are!!)

 

 

I am definitely dipping my toes into unknown territory...

The theme to my booth is Upcycling in the FingerLakes of NY.

VERY small show with low foot traffic - good for a newbie!!

(ie: won't need a LOT of product)

 

Hot-glue gun is clearing out some of the hoards of Shiny Brites as they are made into wreaths!

 

Trays of recently washed Sea Glass, waiting to be sorted and wire wrapped into pendants...

Hands are never still while road-trippin' or watching
TV, making PLARN Pumpkins (in a FUN new BLACK!!)


 

...and of course THE. PEDESTALS

~ LOTS of them, all ready to GO!!!

The BIG PROBLEM?

 is that I pass by this view from my Attic/Studio window...

I LOVE AUTUMN and I don't want to miss it!!

So, I'm still taking time out for Daytrippin' with Pals to take in the sunshine and sites...



A little MacKenzie-Childs for inspiration

(still experimenting with the new camera)



...and still 'stuffing it' , while the 'stuffing' is good...

 

VERA 2013 #21 .25¢

 



Sweater Clip 2013 #13 - seashells & rhinestones $3

 



Treasures! Treasures! Glass flower frog, Sarah Cov. belt, Girl Scout pins, Josef figures, Aluminum powder music box, glass heart pendant, enamel flower pin, glove clip, purse hook, travel clock, copper butterfly = $4.55 !!

Here is the FINAL (for today) testimony to the power of BLOGS...


I had NEVER held an ANNALEE doll in my hands before (or seen one in person), but while scrounging through a box of ornies at Rummage sale recently, I heard the lady next to me say to her Partner in crime "OH. MY. GOSH!  LOOK. AT. THIS. UGLY! SANTA!"  Just by the tone in her voice, I KNEW it had to be.  I turned my head SO FAST to get a glimpse of what she was referring, then held my breath that neither would take it.
  They didn't. 
 I grabbed it.
I checked the tags.
IT WAS!
((It will be going to an E-store soon))


HOPE EVERYONE IS ENJOYING THEIR COUNTDOWN TO ALL-HALLOWED EVE!!

(I will be back with a report after 10/19!)
