Our trip to New York was AMAZING!!! Even though at times it was warm, no, it was downright HOT all of the time, we still managed to have fun. We rented a penthouse apartment for the week which we found to be a bit less expensive than a hotel room. There were five of us so we had plenty of room to spread out and not be stepping on each other, plus we had two bathrooms, an absolute must with that many people. On our second day there we walked across the Brooklyn Bridge with Riley's class, in fact we walked a lot with her class that day, just don't remember a whole lot of what I saw because we were going so fast and they didn't stop much. Not Fun. Our feet were not the same after that day.</div>

On Sunday, on our way to Central Park to meet up with Riley, we just happened to walk by The Dakota apartment building where John Lennon was living when he was shot. It was at this very entrance that it happened. I will never forget where I was at that very moment I heard he had been shot. It's like when Kennedy was shot, we all remember where we were when it happened.</div>

Times Square, of course. Spent way too much time here. Just set me down and let me watch the people.The first time we walked into Times Square was at night and it was completely overwhelming. We just wanted to stop and take it all in. There were so many people that was not an option, we had to keep on moving or get run over by the masses of people. New York is everything that you have ever seen on t.v. We had such a good time and would love to go back someday in the spring or fall when it is not quite so hot. We have so much more to share about our trip to the big apple,so we will be posting more over the next week or so. Really, we will! I know we have been a bit slow at times, but we promise we will be back with more adventures from New York soon! </div>

This was our booth at The Farm Chicks show this year. We always have so much fun when we do this show, it is kind of like a really BIG family reunion only Farm Chicks style. We get to visit with friends, some of who we see only once a year. Our customers were more than awesome, they were so patient waiting in line, while I know they were thinking "oh, there's so much more to see and here I am waiting and waiting in line." We are so grateful we have the opportunity to do Farm Chicks, and that takes me back to how it all began. Once upon a time, Jen and I used to do, oh, I can't say it, it's so hard to get it out....craft shows. Really. That was how we got started. We had been going to yard sales for years and had STUFF. A friend suggested we do the Shadle craft fair, which we did and were amazed at how much we sold. At one point in doing that show I left to go to the restroom, when I returned about fifteen minutes later, I could not get in our booth to help Jen, it was packed with women. We had so many people ask if we had a shop and if we had a card, as in business card. Seriously??? Someone wants our card? But of course, we had no cards, silly girls, we hardly knew what we were doing. By the end of the show we were hooked, we realized we could do this, make a little money, be creative, and have lots of fun. Soon we went in search of other shows to do. We continued to do the Shadle show for several years in a row, we did the Mt Spokane craft fair and we actually did one real antique show which was put on by Jennifer Henry and was held at the Bigelow Gulch Grange. One year, while doing our second Mt Spokane craft fair, Jen and I were sitting there trying to keep ourselves entertained and awake, when a lady came into our booth. We didn't know who she was, but she had on a cute coat. She looked around a bit, taking it all in and finally decided on a couple of things to buy. While she was paying she ask if we were interested in doing any other shows, of course we said "YES".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, then she laid her card on the table and I couldn't believe my eyes, by golly it was a Farm Chicks card and the lady in the cute coat was Serena Thompson!!!! Oh, my heart be still, we were being asked to do The Farm Chicks Show. We had heard and read about The Farm Chicks, but we had never been to a show, much less ever even thought about doing the show. All we had ever done was the lowly craft fairs and one REAL antique show, we never thought we could make into The Farm Chicks. We will be forever grateful to Serena for asking us to be in the show, she saved us. Every year when we first drive up to the fairgrounds and see The Farm Chicks Show banner we cry, honestly we do. We feel so very blessed to be a part of The Farm Chicks Show. Thank you Serena.</div>

<br />Okay, I know, I know really bad picture, but it's the only one I have and I just wanted to share this with all of our yard sale friends out there. Jennifer and I encountered these guys at their sale this morning. They were hilarious, bright-eyed and bushy tailed for being so early in the morning, kind of a refreshing way to start the day, don't you think?? In all of our years of yard sales I really don't think we have ever come across anything quite like these boys. They each wore a hat as you can see, the one on the right with the crown on was the quiet one, I didn't even notice him until I was paying. That was when I KNEW I had to get a picture of the three of them. Anyway, they were a little bright spot in our day and we found some good deals at their sale. Thanks guys for the laughter and the deals. Hope you have another sale real soon. Oh yeah, cute refrigerator, huh?</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027837746712521464.post-7513324029416619592012-04-19T11:07:00.002-07:002012-04-19T11:07:33.757-07:00What Silly Girls Do<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I wear reading glasses and I have at least one pair in every room of the house, but sometimes I think they party when I'm not looking because they end up in rooms where they are not supposed to be. I think maybe I should attach a stretchy cord to each pair so that when I start to walk out of the room the glasses would be snatched out of my hand or right off my face. Hmmmm, might hurt the first few times, but after that maybe I would remember to put the glasses down, kinda like Pavlov's dog and the bell. Anyway, I'm sure you get the message. The glasses above quickly became my favorite after I bought them in Texas last year at Canton, the HUGE flea market southeast of Dallas. I bought two pair, the pink ones and the other a sweet periwinkle (such a wonderful name for a color) blue. I immediately started wearing the periwinkle blue ones. I loved those glasses, they just made me happy. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
A few days later after Canton, we stayed in Brenham which is close to Round Top. Everyone knows about Round Top, right?? A REALLY BIG ANTIQUE SHOW takes place twice a year. Ok, the glasses, the periwinkle blue ones, you can't see them in the picture, but they are laying on the ground by the car. When I got out of the car to take a picture of the local Piggly Wiggly sign I heard them fall on the ground and thought, oh, I'll get them in a minute, just a quick picture. BUT, I was in such a hurry, for whatever reason I don't remember now, I forgot all about those sweet periwinkle blue glasses. There they lay, in the parking lot of the Piggly Wiggly in Brenham, Texas, never to be seen again. Of course, I still had the cute pink ones, so I wore those until one fine day I lost that pair, too. They had fallen into a bin while we were at This Old House removing the old stuff and putting out new. I thought that was what had happened to them, but I looked and looked and never could find them. I thought they were lost forever. Anyway, about six months later while going through one of the bins, I opened one up and right there on top were the cute pink glasses. The moral of the story is don't let yourself get so excited when you see a Piggly Wiggly sign that you forget to pick up your glasses. Silly girl. </div>

At this very moment we are madly dashing about, painting, sewing, crafting, digging through our junk pile, oh, and painting and painting some more. We could probably paint in our sleep. I'm sure the Wizard wouldn't mind waking up to a few paint splatters on him. We are looking forward to being a part of the world famous and wildly popular Funk Junk Antique Show & Crafts Market, which is coming upon us faster than a speeding bullet. This year it will be held at the Spokane Public Market which is downtown at 24 W 2nd Avenue. Must go now, have to get back to work.....so much to do!!! Hope to see ya'll there!</div>

This bread is so easy and quick to make, no kneading involved, only have to let it rise once and then it's off to the oven. What's better than hot from the oven bread with butter and jam??!! I love to have this bread toasted for breakfast. Yum! The recipe makes one large loaf or two smaller ones and can be found <a href="http://rosylittlethings.typepad.com/posie_gets_cozy/2007/03/bready_in_no_ti-1.html?cid=6a00d8345196d169e200d835279c7569e2#comment-6a00d8345196d169e200d835279c7569e2">here</a>. Do you have a favorite jam? I make most of our jams that we eat, such as raspberry, strawberry, huckleberry, etc. Recently, while we were visiting relatives in Seattle, I had some marionberry jam that I fell in love with. The Wizard and I also discovered key lime marmalade.....so good! </div>

At last, we just crawled out from under this mess we have been collecting all winter. It has been way too long since we last posted on our blog. We made some changes to our blog and yeah it took a while longer than we thought it would, but such is life. Now, we are ready to get started on getting creative with some of this stuff. We have two shows in April, <a href="http://funkyjunkantiqueshow.com/">Funky Junk Antique Show</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/messages/1336245732#%21/pages/Romance-Your-Home/253755791374871">Romance Your Home.</a> Then, of course, is <a href="http://www.thefarmchicks.com/show.html">The Farm Chicks Show</a> in June, and this year we have a DOUBLE space. YIKES!!!!!! What am I doing sitting here typing on the computer!</div>

Do you see that cute little three-drawer chest there on the right??? Well, recently The Wizard and I went to Utah to see sweet little Jackson, our grandson, and his Mommy and Daddy. It was imperative that we stop at every thrift store we could find along the way. You know how it is, the magnetic pull of the junk floating around in the atmosphere is nearly impossible to resist. That's the way it was when I saw this chest, it screamed at me, Hey, Lady, over here!!!! Aren't I something???! I was smitten, this chest was going home with me, but when I showed it to The Wizard he didn't quite see it as I did. You see, our car was full, packed to the top, almost. I knew there had to be a way to get this beauty in our car. I don't give up easily, The Wizard should know that by now. We measured, we talked, we measured again, we made several trips out to the car in the rain, back inside we looked at it awhile and talked some more. We had several things that we thought might fit in the bottom portion of the chest, but then we realized the shelf inside the bottom portion did NOT come out like we thought it would. Nope, it was nailed to the sides. So, we ask for a hammer(we had already told the lady we would buy it). The Wizard pounded lightly on the bottom of the shelf, but NOTHING HAPPENED, the shelf did not move. The Wizards next move was an act of brilliance, I love what this man will do for me! He said, I can step on the shelf. I thought about that and finally gave it my ok, only with reassurance from The Wizard that it would not tear up the sides too much. He did it, the shelf broke in half, he removed the nails and the other half of the shelf, all right there in Savers, all for ME! He is my Hero!</div>

What you see here is only a small part of what fills our two car garage. Cars have not been seen in here for several years now, and no I'm not saying that we have cars buried under this junk and we can't find them, it's just that cars won't even begin to fit in here. Although, it would be lovely to someday walk out to the garage and get in my car without scraping the snow and ice off my windows. In my dreams, I guess.</div>

I'm sure when people drive by and see what we have in our garage and not knowing what we do, must think we are hoarders, just like on that TV show.

<br />Yes, there are Wild Women running around the Spokane area. They are the ones gathering up all of the rusty,chippy,shabby and vintage goodness they can get their hands on. So I suggest you get your little cowgirl self up to the 5 Mile Prairie and graze on the beauty of it all.

Every year as I drive to the fairgrounds I think how lucky we are to be able to participate in this show. We are so thankful for that opportunity. We have been vendors at the show for the past four years and every time I first see this sign announcing The Farm Chicks I get goose bumps and then the tears follow. Really. Silly I know, but it is so awesome to be a part of it.

I can't wait to share with ya'll what I found!!<br /><br /><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027837746712521464.post-37050943414734856872011-04-24T09:58:00.001-07:002011-04-24T09:59:24.010-07:00Happy Easter!<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLDAnYvJvzYIbJRYcX08s3s560EmOnTVuQBl198SIZaVx1-HuIS4OZCuHW0L0pjHC-Hq4mgoGkRIyFB0ZZrINfSZURS1q8-_9lB_-yzBWZPS9EPMvo1WHqpoCEUHn1NpnyqewY9n3ZmF4/s1600/easter.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 254px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLDAnYvJvzYIbJRYcX08s3s560EmOnTVuQBl198SIZaVx1-HuIS4OZCuHW0L0pjHC-Hq4mgoGkRIyFB0ZZrINfSZURS1q8-_9lB_-yzBWZPS9EPMvo1WHqpoCEUHn1NpnyqewY9n3ZmF4/s400/easter.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599195584492379442" border="0" /></a>Wishing you and your family all a very Happy Easter Day!<br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027837746712521464.post-50183596084384610042011-03-26T16:25:00.000-07:002011-03-26T16:48:18.480-07:00Funky Junk Antique Show<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidQy8bq2AC-oXxmOWqE30RfNcGv4we2KyvbiVNqzO4q8Xnq2aAsYs89xuAsDC-6syD5FD6O1tVsm0UBc2lVrEc9lHplkOSTU2NqbGJ5Rfj_GV7j0wiPkE0iXnUt6YnC98x0ifypwCkzWw/s1600/postcardspring11.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 314px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidQy8bq2AC-oXxmOWqE30RfNcGv4we2KyvbiVNqzO4q8Xnq2aAsYs89xuAsDC-6syD5FD6O1tVsm0UBc2lVrEc9lHplkOSTU2NqbGJ5Rfj_GV7j0wiPkE0iXnUt6YnC98x0ifypwCkzWw/s400/postcardspring11.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588533948556087218" border="0" /></a><br />Spring is just around the corner, and a sure sign is the <a href="http://funkyjunkantiqueshow.com/shows.html">Funky Junk Antique Show</a>!

Well, here we are. We just had the carpet cleaned in the family room and this is what we were left with, not only a clean carpet, but GIANT banners on it. Sweet, huh??! Jennifer and I are thinking of adding some ribbons, pink or blue, of course, glitter, lots of glitter, and maybe some letters to spell out Please Remove Your Shoes (before entering the Queen's residence). Sounds like an excellent idea to me.

Yep, it's all her fault. She gave us the idea of making these adorably sweet, tiny doughnut cupcakes. Well, mine did not turn out as picture perfect as <a href="http://thefarmchicks.typepad.com">hers</a>, but you know what?? They taste absolutely DIVINE! I used the recipe Serena used from <a href="http://www.countryliving.com/recipefinder/cupcakes-americana-60?click=main_sr">Country Living</a>.<br />They were just a tad bit of a pain in the neck to make and it all takes a while since the pan is sooooo small.

a diary.<b> </b>An official record of daily proceedings." A journal is a continuing record of meaningful experiences that affect our lives. What would you like to remember about yourself? What would you like to tell your children or grandchildren about yourself? I personally don't feel like I am a very good story teller, or have anything interesting to write about,but writing in a journal is all about keeping and savoring memories. You may never be remembered for your superb writing skills, profound insight or your experiences, but you are the only one who can describe how you felt when your first child was born, or the day you got your first "new" car as a teenager. Journal writing is the perfect place to sort out all of our problems, set goals, preserve memories and develop dreams.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;">I have to admit that I do not keep a journal. I have started one on several different occasions, but I couldn't tell you where they are though. I have made journals before, but this time as I made these, I felt different about them, like I needed to begin one of my own. So... now I will begin the journey of journaling!<br /></div><br />P.S. The journals pictured above are for sale.

So of course, I had to try it out. You use a cake mix, any flavor, I used vanilla, some people might say white, but really which sounds yummier?? And you use instant pudding, a flavor that will be compatible with the cake mix. I topped it with a butter cream frosting to which I added a small amount of strawberry jam. They turned out delicious. The frosting makes the cupcake, any frosting, any cupcake. A cupcake without frosting is nothing, boring, ho-hum little piece of cake, something that could be used as packing. Anyway, here's the recipe, hope you enjoy it!!<br /><br /><br /></div><p style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13pt; font-weight: bold;">Easy Gourmet Cupcakes</span><br />1 box cake mix - any flavor<br />1 small box pudding mix<br />4 eggs<br />1 C. sour cream<br />1/2 C. water<br />1/2 C. oil</p><div style="text-align: center;"> Choose a cake mix and a pudding mix with compatible flavors.

I don't think so, especially when that baby is my grandson Jackson. Jackson and his parents were here for a visit last week and it was a little slice of heaven. I just can't get enough of that little boy. He lives in a land far away so we don't get to see him very often. When he is here though, I can't keep my hands off his sweet squishy little body.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVQKRvZeeIOAtoZjinpgsVT9V5bVP1Sbi9NnZC0SnmElcd5WGurfgRBRdjmWgk9aXH1-pp8vWnLAg4MnMRNQSxh9a8JqiXX1yKvAuwkJu3nKtVxGTVfvxA1H4O6pEQU1-U-S7xnbvd_t4/s1600/074.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVQKRvZeeIOAtoZjinpgsVT9V5bVP1Sbi9NnZC0SnmElcd5WGurfgRBRdjmWgk9aXH1-pp8vWnLAg4MnMRNQSxh9a8JqiXX1yKvAuwkJu3nKtVxGTVfvxA1H4O6pEQU1-U-S7xnbvd_t4/s400/074.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566555996848170642" border="0" /></a><br />Jackson would carry this spoon around and not put it down for anything.

I was sitting on the floor and every so often Jackson would come to me to get a bite of popcorn. Several times he would put his spoon in my bowl and give it a stir and popcorn would go flying through the air. While I would be caught up in laughter he would quickly grab a handful of popcorn with his other hand and smoosh it in his mouth. I guess he decided he didn't want those itty bitty pieces I had been giving him, he wanted a mouthful. He knew what he wanted and he had a plan...and he got it. Next time he visits, he just might have his own bowl AND then I'll get my spoon....<br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027837746712521464.post-63360804569123734822011-01-10T10:45:00.000-08:002011-01-10T12:30:53.566-08:00A Flea Kind of Week End<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6g0cqnFkV95S7AzMOLMoYr5nKxXB1G_-iRLLppBd534PD8RjY3nAndihxICdQtMZXGC0fKdi75nGwyQ5WzOux4XqRq91qWQxhC2UBlDMfuu51YDCF7Xap6oInqA3ItpxVas-MO8UBW-E/s1600/022.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6g0cqnFkV95S7AzMOLMoYr5nKxXB1G_-iRLLppBd534PD8RjY3nAndihxICdQtMZXGC0fKdi75nGwyQ5WzOux4XqRq91qWQxhC2UBlDMfuu51YDCF7Xap6oInqA3ItpxVas-MO8UBW-E/s400/022.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560633720935718002" border="0" /></a><br />The way I see it, since Christmas is over, the new year has begun, the snow needs to just go away NOW. The weather has been so nasty at times, we just don't want to go anywhere unless we really need something. Well, when we heard the flea market was going on, we said, " Yeah, we really need something." Who could resist this old doll head? Jennifer's daughter thinks it's CREEPY, but what does she know??? I think she is adorable and will be more so after she gets her crown(which she has totally earned).<br />The round tin is from Swan's Down Flour company.
