Time to Celebrate!

So many reasons to celebrate!

First -- I am back home, even if only temporarily. Good to see Mr. Sammy Girl and my friends.


Second -- Had a wonderful time in Montana (especially with the small fry who are happy and healthy). The work of getting a home ready to sell was worth it with seeing these smiling faces everyday!


Third -- Saw a pic of my work in Flea Market Style.

HONESTLY!

Bought a copy of the mag and eager to see the article on the Barn Boys. (Gee, their first sale seems like yesterday ... and forever ago at the same time!) Was starting to go through page by page ...and opened up to page 12 and saw my very own

WINE BOTTLE CHANDELIER!
I made it for Cindy's barn "occasionaly sale".
is such a sweetie and lets me help her
when our schedules work out.
With all my busy-ness I haven't been to
ANY of her 2010 sales.
Be sure to check out her schedule for upcoming dates.


Fourth -- THIS SATURDAY IS THE 4 Friends Sale!!


Joy (Auntie Joy), Diane (Molly Mo) and Martha (Vintage Trifles) are pros (gosh, I first typed "prose" and that would be wrong, 'cause what these gals do is pure poetry!!

They are all so much fun and shopping at their events is a blast.

As the fourth friend I am in a "I can't believe I am doing this" .... but as good/crazy friends, they are right there encouraging me .... kinda holding hands and jump off the cliff together!

I have so many goodies (edible and non-edible!) in store .... but no time to talk about it now. Getting down to Salem (Historic Deepwood Estate) to set up!




Hugs to you all and hope you have a WONDERFUL and EXCITING week with lots to CELEBRATE!

ps ... for some reason the version of blogger that opened this morning for composing this post didn't have the icon to link to web pages. (What's with THAT??!!) (And now it's there, but very difficult wrangling pictures, so only two!!) No time to trouble shoot this morning, but will deal with later tonight and I PROMISE to post info, directions, pictures and MUCH MORE .... EVERY DAY this week!! HONEST!! Lotsa Hugs and have missed you all ... A LOT!

And the WINNER is ... (and a secret!)

This book and ...
these goodies covered in roses ...

Rebecca for Vintage Living
has won the giveaway!

Go visit her site to say "hi"

(like I did,)
you LOVE the same things!

This is a light fixture she pictured as a recent find ...

... and this one is in MY garage awaiting rewiring ... (still!)
actually it's one of a pair.
Why haven't I finished this project!

Anyhow ...

Rebecca's number was drawn!

With over 100 entries 
there were many nice comments.

One of my favorites was from
Clara and Marcela of San Clemente ...
We'll need to get a job in Customs...people carrying these kind of treasures will never make it to the other side...we'd confiscate everything!!!! LOL!!!!

Yes, working in customs to 
"confiscate" 
the kinds of treasures 
I lugged home from London 
would be fun ... 

going through the dirty laundry, 
notsomuch .... !

Guess I just have to find things the old fashioned way ... 
hunting and having friends who hunt!

Which reminds me that the

What Fun!

Hopefully a few things will leave
the Who Villa for
a new home.

Yours?

Mr. Sammy Girl says 
proceeds from this "reorganizing" 
can go into my
"Return to London" fund!

WOO HOO!

Come and say "hi" ....
Martha - Vintage Trifles - and I
will share a space.

My little "secret" ??
I'll have something special 
for the first few who say hi 
and ask about my blog ....

Hugs and have a Happy Friday and fabulous weekend!
Sammy Girl
