White Wednesday project

We have had this old dutch-door sitting out in storage for about 5 years. I have wanted to do several things with it , but the Man never seemed too interested in my ideas. Now enter the sub freezing temps of our winter weather last week and I come up with a brain storm that could save us lots of money!!! Wooo Husbands love that! The back side of the house which is rarely used was just FREEZING all week so I said hows about we close that room off honey? Oh yeah great idea wifey! He goes out to the shed and comes back in with this cute door, I about fell over!So there you go girls just be practical and Ta-Da get yourself some remodeling done!

please excuse the mess

The hubs even bought me these pretty white roses

My mantle with a few decorations

still need to get the stockings hung

I love the old skates with the fur cuffs

The weather outside is frightful!

Ok I'm not quite sure what is going on in these parts, but I've never had ice cubes form in my toilet tank before! We have had a below freezing cold streak for about a week now.( I just heard we broke a 90 year record) Kind of unusual for these parts, this is Washington after all the state known for all it's rain! This is a picture of Snoqualmie Falls about 30 miles east of my house, it is a breathtaking sight!

This is a photo from the store last summer, when we obviously were in into the white scene

Some of our show booths

Come to the Girlfriends Market and meet my new "Buddy"

Meet Buddy possibly the sweetest Mut I have ever met! He is Lindas (Luluz) precious pup and he got to hang out with the girls today! He even put up with us trying to make him look even cuter than he already is in one of Lindas party hats.

My little booth 8x10 to be exact which is the smallest space I have ever done, but I liked it! Less hauling, easier decorating , cozy, and I didn't have to use my brain too much! Which is a really good thing after this crazy month of shows, holiday decorating and being sick off and on for weeks!

What a Super Fun Day with some Super Girlfriends! (And a few boyfriends). This show is loaded with Vintage Christmas, a mix of primitive furniture, jewelry and some great collectibles! If you didnt make it Friday night the show is open all day Saturday from 9to4.

Girlfriends Holiday Market and a Hometown Holiday in Sumner

Visit Downtown Sumner this Saturday Nov. 14th for the Hometown Holiday open Houses all day in the shops!And then take a ride out to Lacey for some more fun at

Girlfriends Holiday Market this weekend at Thurston County Fairgrounds in the old Log building.

White Wednesday junkorama

Loaded for the Puyallup show this weekend

This load really does just look like a pile of junk!

I adore this little lamp shade and zipper glass compote

This was a great cupboard we had in the shop for a very short while it now resides in a lovely ladies house in Oregon.

When somebody loves you

This is a note my sister sent me today just out of the blue for no special reason at all. Nobody has ever sent me a letter quite like this. She is the most kind hearted person I know and I am so lucky to have someone who loves me like she does!

I AM SO PROUD OF YOU AND YOUR SUCCESS SIS!!! WHAT A GREAT SUCCESS STORY YOU ARE! and you never give up...tenacity, determined, driven, enthusiastic, beautiful, business minded, self directed, precious sister, great friend, creative to no end!! open minded, did I say beautiful?, intelligent, negotiator, fabulous mom and wife, !!! all this and more!! i love you sissy!! Your big Sis

So I would like to pass this on to all sisters. It has taken alot of years for me to realize how lucky I am to be a sister ( I am the youngest one of four) and that we are more alike than different. It hasn't always been easy growing up in a "normal" disfunctional family, but somehow for the most part we have figured out a way to put the "fun" back in disfunctional!
I love you Mae Mae

When a photograph is more than just a photo
