The Very Best White Cabinet

Is it not the best white , peely paint cabinet?
We went to Barn House on Saturday to see
Linda and Ludmil 's fine Texas wares. I did
not expect to find my elusive white cabinet there.
I've been searching and shopping for just the
right one for months. While painting the living room
I took the current ( heavy )cabinet out.
My plan was to not bring it back
into the house , I didn't have a plan for all the treasures
that the ( heavy ) cabinet held so back in the house it came.
This weekend it will be taken to the overflowing garage
once again and my
perfectly peely white paint with gray paint showing through
Texas cabinet will be in the house!
Thanks , Linda!!

You Just Have to Go Where Life Takes You


Last week end we headed for

Clayson Farm in Yakima, Washington.

Why have I never been there before?!

It's only 4 hours away from
the Cottage .
This sweet truck greets you at the gate.

Lenette , who owns the shop Garden Girl
in Yakima was there.

She has the Prettiest flowers and

does a superb job displaying them.

This is Leslee's vintage barn.
Is it not the cutest?
They actually moved this to their
property for Leslee to use for the shows.
I want a Barn!

I had the pleasure of meeting Florence from
Essences of the Past
She did a great post about the fun day
spent shopping and visiting with friends.

Once again we had the privledge of being set up next to
Barn House
It was fun being able to visit a bit with Joe and Jermonne.
I don't even have to tell you how
Incredible
their space looked .
Go to their blog to see
the slideshow that Jermonne put together.
I spotted photos of my booth in there
and thought " Dang! - he makes me look good! "
I think you may have missed your
calling as a photographer, Jermonne.
Clayson Farm was Tons of fun, I always wonder
" Why hasn't anyone told me about this? " :0)
Actually , Leslee invited us last year but I had
something else going on that date.
I'm in the loop now so I'll see you there next year!
So where is life leading us now?
We've been saving back merchandise all Summer
for the Monticello Fall Show.

September 4th thru September 27th
This will be our third year as vendors there ,
we love to be a part of their seasonal shows.
But it just keeps getting better!! If you are familar with Monticello
you know the largest spaces
NEVER
become available to rent.
Because you don't want to ever leave once you are there.
Some great dealers , Colby Cottage , have the chance to
open their very own store so they are leaving the mall. :0(
Guess who gets their Beautiful Large space?
Yes,
ME!!
Joe and I are busy , busy getting ready for the new space.
Be sure and peek in ,
we'll be all set up by the Fall Show.

Thanks for all your help with my comment problem.
It still doesn't work but I have some things
I can try to do now to try and fix it.
