Why I Don't Post Very Often!

I now know why my blog posts are so few and so far between!  I always forget to carry my camera with me!!!!!!!  Who wants to read a post without any pictures? 

Finding My Muse

I think I must  be part bear.   I gain weight during the holiday season and then all I want to do is sleep through the rest of winter. (I would too if my family would let me!). I definitely lose my energy and creativity during the snow filled, dark, cold winter months!

I really need to get my brushes out and start painting, so ...I bought a bouquet of fresh flowers .... took some nifty photos....hoping to find my muse.

Now its time to start creating!!  Kelly

Happy Valentines

I have been working on my booth, rearranging my treasures for a Valentine's feel.  I love these heart soaps, I found them on Etsy.com. from soapsensei.   They are so dainty and smell wonderful!

I love birds eggs and these pink ones are so sweet.  I use eggs all the time in my displays, as well as nests and birds.  Oh don't you love the Spring?!

 

Winter in New York

We are in the middle of a blizzard!  I can't drive on the roads, there are no garage sales and I am unable to reach my storage garage because of the drifts!    Oh woe is me...

What Does The New Year Hold?

As I was digging thru the many unmarked boxes in my basement(oh, I so need to get organized!)I found this vintage pink! radio.  I immediately plugged it in and it worked!!  What memories I have of a similar radio(not pink) sitting on my Aunt Mary and Uncle Larry's kitchen table, constantly chirping the local news and a variety of big band music!  What wonderful memories I have of them!!!

This year I am going to live more simply, just like my Aunt and Uncle did 40 plus years ago.  I will declutter my home, my car, my booth and my mind.  I will take pleasure in all the little things, never let myself be bored, praise God always and love my family and friends with all my heart and soul.  I will create more and complain less, walk the dog every day and always see the beauty in all my children do, no matter what!  I  will live each day to the fullest!

What will you do this year?

The Holidays Are Upon Us!

I have been working like one of Santa's elves these last several weeks getting ready for our open house at The Westmorelnad Antique Center.  Join us for treats, giveaways and treasures galore! Come Celebrate!!!

Chicks Along The Canal

I am a part of a group of dynamic and creative women who have decided to put together a farm chick like show in upstate New York. We have antique shows in our area, but wanted to create a spectacular show that would "showcase" the talents of local women.

Every year, the city of Little Falls has their Canal Days filled with a variety of activities that include a farmers market, live music, free food, games, and contests. We have been invited to hold ourshow during this time.

Women vendors will showcase their creative talents, to include many items for sale: antiques, homemade goodies, jewelry, painted furniture, whimsical art, shabby chic decor, vintage linens, wonderful junk, handmade treasures, apron fashions, candles and more!

All this on the front lawn of the old mills, surrounded by beautiful gardens, flowing water and live music! I can't wait...kelly
