What's New.....

It's been awhile since I have posted so I thought I would be a good blogger and give you some updates on what's new.

Sunday I moved out of up my booth space at Monticello. I felt like I just couldn't give it the attention that it deserved with our family happenings, work and the shop being in Portland.

I will really miss my Monticello family and appreciate all that they have done for us!!!

Monti family,

I love you all :)

Mid November I did however take a space at Camas Antiques!!!

Being that it is 5 minutes from my house, I have help from family when needed, and I really didn't want to give up junkin...It felt so right!!!

Here are some pics of my booth.

Lots has sold...so it looks a little different now.

Sidney update:

We go in on Monday to meet with the radiation oncologist to discuss radiation. This was very scary to us at first...we were really hoping to bypass radiation if her tumors shrunk enough. One did but the other one just not enough. So we have elected to do radiation and just be done with it....The good thing is they say she wont have any side effects from it and will continue growing hair :0 which is a good thing.

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving...There was so much to be thankful for!

Hugs

Getting Some of my Creativity Back

My very good friend JoDee met me at Monticello last week and helped me do a little booth redo. I finally feel some of my creativity coming back.....

Here is my updated space...

Thank you JoDee!!!

Here is my most recent piece that I have finished.

Before.....

And after....

Amazing what a little white paint and a sander will do.

Sidney has finished her first two week session of chemo. Now we are on our two weeks off.....

She is starting to loose her hair :( That is the most emotional part for her..and me.

We are lucky that she has not had any nausea or flu like symptoms.

Most of her side effects are from her high dose of steroids.

Thank you all for your prayers and I will keep you all updated!!

I also want to thank my Monticello family for all your donations, words of kindness, love, prayers and support!

I love you all!!!

Hugs Julie

A Heartfelt Thank You!

Just wanted to thank all my wonderful blogger friends and non blogger friends for the wonderful prayers, card and donations that were given to me on Sunday.

I was so touched by all!

Some may know this and some may not. It is very hard to talk about....

Thursday we received news that our daughter has Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

It is going to be a long hard road....Lots of tears and fear of the unknown.

I know we will make it through with love and support from my wonderful friends, family and God.

Say another prayer for us...

Julie

Life's Unexpected

I am writing this post from Doernbecher hospital.

Wednesday night I took Sidney to the ER. She was running a fever, vomiting, diarrhea and had fainted a couple of times through out the day.

Her heart rate was 186, BP had dropped to 75/32, had a 103 temp with blue cold feet.

It is a good thing I was scared to death and decided to take her in.

We were transported to Doernbecher ICU at 10:30 that night.

First we were told she had pneumonia and sepsis, then when we arrived at Doernbecher they told us she had toxic shock syndrome. We are still here, however Sid is making great improvement. We are finally waiting to move from the ICU. It is unfortunate that I needed to cancel my show next weekend. I am disappointed but know that I do not need the extras stress of a show.

Please say a little prayer for us. Life is full of the enexpected!

Some Finds and a BIG Thank You

Last night Mike and I broke down the window display at Camas Antique Mall.

I had the most wonderful time there!!!

JoAnn and the staff are welcoming and I enjoyed being a part of the family.

Also, I had the best store sales ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you everyone who came out to support me and all the customers who purchased a new treasure or two!!!

Recently I purchased this old workbench in Long Beach from 92 year old man.

I pictured this in a large kitchen with vintage kitchen utensils and cookbooks.

I will be taking this out to Barn House for the show on the 30th of July.

Mark your calendars!!

These chairs are to die for!!!

Black iron with some french flair.

I will be adding a new cushion to them all...I was thinking either some burlap, toile or drop cloth.

What do you think?

Hope everyone had a safe and wonderful 4th.

Blessings

Some Projects in the Works

Here is a wonderful farm table I picked up last week.

It had some green ink on the top, nothing a little sanding didn't cure.

Now I will put on a final coat of wax to the top of this beauty.

It will be presented at the long anticipated 2011 Vintage Country Marketplace presented by the Barn House Boys!!!

Here is another treasure that will either make its way to Barn House or Monticello.

A lovely french table!

Finished in my special recipe.

This cute french end table will also get my special finish.

Stay tuned for some other treasures I have in store.

Hope you enjoyed the beautiful sunshine we have had!!!

Hugs
