Washington County Antiques & Collectibles Market

Spring has finally sprung! The weather in upstate New York is getting warmer, dryer and sunny! Something about a sunny day gives me oodles of energy....

I will be selling my wares at the Washinton County Show in Greenwich, New York. (Not to confuse it with Greenwich Village in New York City). This show is North of Albany in central New York State.
The dates are Saturday April 30th 8AM-6PM and Sunday May 1st 9AM-4PM. I will be set up in pavillion #9 booth 11. My friend Jody from Bountiful will also be there. We both will have painted furniture and lots of cool goodies.

This is a super spring show, great stuff, good prices, tons of delicious food and real bathrooms! Check out the website for more info!

I have been painting some treasures for the show...but there is always so much more to do.

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?
