It's funny how sometimes, when you least expect it, something nice happens! I love to go on many different blogs. Most about repurposing vintage, cottage style, farm love..... oh and there are so many more....
Well, I was visiting My Sweet Savannah and Melanie was having a jewelry giveaway.....
I don't join every giveaway I come across...only those that strike my fancy and some new jewelry for spring and summer sure sounded fun!
I won a $50 gift certificate to Charles Emerson Designs and these three pieces are what I chose.....
What a fun, girlie way to start the warmer seasons! Thank you Melanie, and Erin from Charles Emerson Designs!!! I love my new jewelry!!! Have a great weekend! karen.....
It's no secret... I love having my booth space. I love the thrill of the hunt...
I love styling my booth....
I struggle with keeping up with paperwork...but it's all worth it....
So...last week hubby and I went to the Pasadena City College Flea. We had a fun time and came home with some fun marquee letters and a kitchen scale...
We only had 8 letters so hubby and I had a race to name as many words with those 8 letters as we could...
My favorites were SOAR and DEAR.... as you can see, we went with DEAR....
We drove out to the booth (about a 45 min. drive) and restyled it all...I was really happy with the outcome! I came home and posted pictures on Facebook of the new look....
Well, about 1/2 hr. later, one of the other vendors emailed me and told me the "D" was sold soon after we left...
Now our cute little booth says EAR.....
We laughed our patooties off!
But, I have to go to work tomorrow and the booth closes at 5pm!
What to do?
So I call a friend who lives nearby and ask her to change it to SOAR....
I think I better go to an outdoor/fishing/camping store and buy some oars fast! This time I'm gonna be prepared!
Hope you have a wonderful week...I'm still laughing my ears off...
I'm Karen and I'm a dork!!!
I hope you enjoyed your Easter...we had a very subdued celebration. My son and his girlfriend had to work this year so we had a little brunch on Saturday...... still fun and chocolate bunny filled so we didn't feel cheated....
This is a view of the top of our buffet.... I love the frenchy style but still have the element of cottage everywhere...I am so fickle!
I thought you might like some vignettes from around Country Roads since I am always showing you my space. There are many talented people who have booths there.... so much fun to wander around....
I love Debbie's style.... Very Frenchy... (above)
And Marina is one of the artists who makes her own signs...this wonderful painting is on an old door. Marina is in the process of moving to another booth in the store....
This is another corner of her new space "Belen's corner" Belen is her daughter and loves the thrill of the hunt and styling the booth so her mom gave her a corner of the booth.... (she is only 10!, Pretty talented eh? )
This is Yessi's corner...she is my sweet neighbor in the store.... love her look!
And that cherub above? Oh how I want her... my heart goes pitter pat for cherubs! She can be found in Lori's booth.....
This sweet outdoor set is outside Marina's booth....loooove....
And this beautiful booth is new.... I just love so much about it! We are in the process of deciding on a new mattress and boxsprings...this chippy bed would look good with whatever we get!
Well, happy Spring my friends....hope you enjoyed all the eyecandy! karen.....
