Looking Forward to a Break!!!

Autumn is here and I am looking forward to a break in shows. Not that I don't love doing these wonderful shows, rain or shine, inside or outside, here or there...It's just I need this 2 week break from show responsibility to unwind, relax and take in some family time. Oh, and of course some much needed junkin time to get ready for Expo. I will be sharing a booth with my friend Chandra from "Shabby To Chic Designs" (non blog girl) offering some of our best treasures.

So look for me at the sales, auctions, etc. the next couple of weeks and don't be shy....say "HI"

Here's to enjoying break time.

BTW, Mike's dad came home from the Hospital Sunday and is doing well!!!

Thank you for all your prayers!!!

Fun Times

Christa and I had a great time at Expo, but man are we pooped.

Here are some pictures of our booth.

We were so lucky to be next to all our friends.
Here is Shannon. (not sure if she has a blog).

This girl can put together a fabulous display!!!

Here is Joy, from Antie Joy and Isabel, from Maison Douce & Tickled Pink. Lisa was also there to help out on Friday but there was no time for cameras. Sorry Lisa....

Also not pictured is our friend Sue from Bella Shabby. She braved the heat and rain by taking an inside booth....Smart Girl!!!

And last but definitely not least Diane, from Molly Mo's.

We are participating in her show August 22nd.

Sure to be a fun time!!!!!

They are all getting prepared for the Flea Market at BarnHouse this weekend while

Christa and I are making our final preparations for the

We Had a Great Time at the Portland Antique Expo.....

We truly enjoyed the show......  

It was our first time to do the Expo, so we were not sure what to expect.  I was a little nervous since I haven't done a show this size and I was concerned about the turnout due to the economy.

Setting Up......

My fears were put to rest Friday morning when the doors opened to "Early Admission" buyers.  Our furniture pieces were selling as fast as we could put them up.  After the initial burst of selling, it slowed down long enough to get the rest of our inventory out and up on display.  

We knew we needed some additional furniture, so we brought some more from our storage on Saturday.....those sold too!  Friday and Saturday there was a consistent flow of people through the show.  Sunday was slower, but we were told it would be that way.

We both have sore muscles and feet, but are full of enthusiasm and excitement for our upcoming April show, Whimsical Wishes, in Camas.  Don't forget to enter our Celebration Giveaway......you have until the luckiest of lucky days, St. Patty's Day, March 17th at 5:00 pm PST to post a comment here. 

We met some truly wonderful people at the show and got a chance to visit with some of our other blog friends who had booths there, as well. 

Here's a list of some of our friends who have written about their Expo experience:

Tickled Pink - Isabel

A Day in the Life - Auntie Joy

Today's Country Store - Kris & Amy

I'll add more, if I find them!

Blessings,

Christa and Julie
