Hillsville Flea Market

Well, we are off to Hillsville,Va to their big Labor Day Flea Market. Jug and Kim Shumate are coming with me and a trailer full of merchandise. And of course I hope we come back with a empty trailer, so pray that we sell everything and don't get rained on the whole time. It has been raining here everyday, and is suppose to for the next couple of days. I have never been, but am told that some 500,000 people come out for this every year....If even half show up, that's a huge number of people. I will blog about next week after we get back...
Also the new Romantic Home Magazine for September is in, and it is a good issue, so stop by the store for your copy before they are all gone!!!

Romantic Home Magazine






I am very excited to have Romantic Home Magazine available to sell here in the store. I don't know about other people, but I look forward to all my new issues of magazines at the beginning of each month, it is almost as good as Christmas, especially if it is a good issue filled with lots of inspiration . They help give me a much needed push in the creative dept with my sewing and decorating in the store. Please stop in for your copy each month, and enjoy!!!!!!!!!

Tunkables

I just got in the most wonderful Silver plate items and Sterling Silver Bracelets by Penny Conti @ Tunkables....My friend Eris Ball , who has a little store in Elkin called "In Every Room" , turned me on to these and we just love them. All the pieces are hand inscribed and each is unique with different sayings. One of my favorites is the Cuff Bracelet with..."the journey is the reward" or the card case that says "if you do what you love you will never work a day in your life". There will be many more new items to come from Tunkables for the holiday, a must present for anyone!!!
