Pumpkin Transformation....

Every year my daughters enter a

"Pumpkin Decorating Contest".

I wanted to share with you the transforamtion....

BEFORE.....

and AFTER....

I got the idea at our local Michael's store.

We waited so long to get started and they ran out of crows.

One was supposed to be perched

on top and one inside.

We improvised.

We substituded the crows with a vulture and a rat.

I think we did pretty good...oh yeah did I mention I kindda helped :)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Haviland France Ebay Item

Just wanted to share one of my Ebay Listings.

This is one of my finds from my visit to

Tucson last month.

Well, I can't keep all the treasures I find :)

So, I have listed the set of 4 Dinner Plates

Haviland France, beautiful Rose Pattern.

Here's to a great start to a new week.

Updated slide show of booths...

Hello,

Below is updated slide show of

my booths at

Riverside Galleria and Treasures N Junk

Enjoy :)

Whatta case....

This is my newly aquired display case!!!

On Friday, after visiting and adding treasures

to my booth at

Treasures and Junk,

I walked around to see all the treasures the

dealers had brought throughout the week.

And all alone, in the back corner was this dirty, sad, lonely case...

with, believe it or not a

"FREE" sign, yes FREE :)

I asked the owner of Treasures N Junk, Jana,

why was it free? was something wrong with it?

And to my happy heart, she said "no",

just had no space in the store for it!!!

So my hunny was kind enough to pick up for me

and now it has a happy home

at my booth #112 at Riverside Galleria!!!

My son was home...

I don't think I have introduced you to my

Greatest Treasures of all...

my kids, Dominic, Ari & Aleyah.

I had them all under one roof again.

Even if it was just for a few days,

I had my family together.

We were lucky enough to have my son home from college last weekend.

But time went by so so fast.

she really did miss her brother...kodak moment :)



Does it get any easier?

It was so difficult to see him go.

The college is having Family and Friends weekend,

so we will be off to the Bay Area this weekend...YEAH!!!

Almost done....

So here is as much as I was able to get done.

With all the painting and moving of the Treasures,

I hurt my shoulder and couldn't get much done today.

But VOILA...

Here's an angle from behind the counter...

Expanding in Riverside....

So... I decided to expand my space at Riverside Galleria. Ok, yes CRAZY me, what was I thinking. But I did. I expanded to the right of me, into a corner booth. Kinda like a corner office...LOL and I have a view too!!! Sounds like I gave myself a promotion. Does that come with a raise? :)

Here's the new area...


Here is my view...

Pretty proud of my view, so here's another shot of it :)

Ok, so I decided to expand my booth at Riverside Galleria. I thought this would be the perfect time as the holidays are right around the corner. Can't believe it, time just flys by. If all goes well, I will be set up by Saturday afternoon. I'm hoping to take lots of Treasures. And I will post lots of pictures as soon as I'm all set up. I'm so excited and nervous at the same time... it'll be fun :)
