...BE WELL.

    In keeping with the HAT PURGE, we wanted to put some of them in our booth at MK, but floundered at a Good-Unique-EyeCatching way to Display...

  We let the idea mull, and continued sorting the "Last Chance" load of boxes that we had not completely sorted yet.  Box after Box of Fancy Glassware (Have I ever mentioned that I really DON'T enjoy Glassware?  Well, I don't.)   A few of the boxes (much more interesting to me!!) were F.U.L.L. of art supplies.  Probably close to 200 well-loved artists brushes, pallets, canvas...

  THEN IDEA STRUCK!

 A 'Hall-tree' of sorts...

With a bit of a twist!

In 'use' at MK!

 Our latest 'creation' is a bit of a tribute

 to my dear friend ~ 'B'.

She was a very dear Lady, who led a long, intriguing life - FULL of her artwork and Ideas.  She lost her battle almost two years ago, but her spirit stays strong.  The carloads of boxes that we have sorting were hers - 'stuff' whose stories are lost, but soul remains.

NOW, onto 2016
Feeling the 'power' of 'possibilities' that a "Fresh.New.Year" presents us with...

Our 'ADIOS' to 2015!

Trying to clear out and make room for some more at GAC!

Our 'upgraded' locale at MK
(We are now in the BRIGHTER aqua area - directly across from the register,
PREVIOUSLY: waaaay in the back, past the dark purple divider...)

Now, for a quick tour of 'what's New'...







SEAGLASS on Watercolor!

Remember doing 'string art' when you were in Grade School?

Loving the 'Pink Button' Thing!!

 ...UNTIL NEXT TIME...

"BE WELL."

...fluffin'!

I stopped by our booth today to do a little 'fluffing' before the holiday weekend...

A customer stopped in and we chatted for a bit, and he took a few photos...

...then later, he was nice enough to send them to me.  THANKS DAN!

Hope EVERYONE has a GREAT Final weekend of Summer!!!

...HOLIDAY time!

WE did a little 'fluffing' to the booth this week - RW&Blue!

...S & J

GOOD MORNING!

The sun is FINALLY shining in Central NY!

Temps in the 60's (today)!

Life is GOOD!

I forgot to post Our favorite 'find' from the night Rummage Sale last week...   The first thing that J spotted ((and grabbed)) were Two 24" wood letters.  They ONLY had two of them - or else we would have taken them all, but isn't it Ironic - and FUN, that the two they had were an 'S' and a 'J'?!!

I'm trying something different (ie: 'playing around') with my blog photos and layout, so bare with me... 

The last couple of weeks have been a plethora of sales - Estate & Rummage!  We have had some FUN FINDS and some FUN ROADTRIPS in the process.  Here are some of the 'goods':

An old metal dust pan
...just waiting to be given a little TLC.
I've been wanting one of these for a while!

LOST ANGEL BOWL - $6.95
Pretty good 'chance' find!  Check this final sale price!

CUTCO Knife Block ($1)

AMETHYST GumDrop Tree!

S&P 'Tree' -
BUTTERFLIES!!!!

Retro-Resin MUSHROOM!

MacKenzie CHILDS mug ($1)

and J's favorite 'quarter' find, a
"Hawaiian
Village" GOOD LUCK tiki glass/mug!

NIP #60 Serta Sheep

We were recently the recipients of our FIRST FreeCycle item:

... a white Cheapo-but-functional 6't x 2'w 'book case'!

and, enroute to pick it up, I garbage picked a similar size in 'wood tone'!!

Now, shelving is a 'hot commodity' - always the FIRST thing scarfed up at any sale!!  To get TWO - free for the taking and TLC, was a shear stroke of LUCK!!

The 'wood-grain' one is getting some paint and a sprucing - then headed to our new 'booth'.  The white one will be getting some paint, then I have plans for it at our house!  I will show photos as this materializes!

Hey, it's almost Friday...  and you know what that means!!!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

and

HAVE FUN!

...almost Mayo!

'Miss Alden' (our booth DressForm) is ready for CINCO de MAYO - Are You??!
