Taking the Leap!










I couldn't resist when the hanging glass windows sold that separated my booth at Art Angels Lily Dily and the empty booth next to mine. It looked so awesome and my mind raced with what I could do with the two spaces together as MINE....so I finally made the leap and signed the agreement to take the empty space.  My little booth was getting cramped and unorganized.  Here is the before picture ~

This is my booth...before...it looks like a mess!

Awwwww...this is the empty potential space!

Oh hold back the excitement!!  This is the two halves to become one!!  And its all MINE!  Baby steps from last October with first renting a shelf...then a small space, then to my current space, and now.......

Karen said I am famous now!  Lol!  Do you want my autograph?

Yesterday I took a lot of things out and took over the new space...added a couple of things ~ note hanging pot rack.
The space is so open and I am in love!!
Here is a teaser picture from yesterday...today I am moving in some small tables and such that I have been busy sanding, painting, sanding, waxing, did I say sanding?  Oh now I need chalk paint....I will post the final outcome soon...see ya on the red carpet!!

Heres a picture of the new beginning of the new Lily Dily



This is a corner of Lily
Dily...Sue & Kathy's booth is behind mine!


This is the other side of my new booth...more stuff to be added today!!

And again another angle....




Here is the table I did last month opened up...new chairs and stools coming today...note the new bakers rack
I am so excited!!!

To add some more great things ~  my son and hopefully future daughter in law got a new great Golden puppy!
It is my fuzzy Grandson....for now the only one...his name is to be announced by this Saturday.  I went over and saw him last night for a bit!  He is adorable with extra large feet and very smart....love him!






He was playing with an ice cube....


He started to close his eyes...he is on shelf under their coffee table...but not for long!



Here he is with Mommy!!




Here he is with Dsddy and his duckie!!

He is so handsome!!!


And he is smart....knows how to play fetch already!!!  Of course he is a Retriver, but just saying...

Well, have to load up the car with all my new stuff to add to my new booth...I am so excited for so many great things!
See ya!  Thanks for looking!

Good Changes 2011











This may sound weird but I have come to a great realization. It started the end of October 2010 when I decided to try my luck and sell some antique custom jewelry and other small items at a great antique mall up the street from me. First I started with just a "shelf"....literally. It wasn't long before I wanted to "upgrade" to a small space. I added a couple pieces of furniture and other thrift buys to this space. I started to enjoy myself, primping and fine tuning my space. Met some nice people there too. That small space was soon outgrown by my increasing desire to bring in more new things to display and put out for sale. I decided to "upgrade" again to a much larger space in a great location in the antique mall. I have stayed in this space and feel at home there. I rent the space at Art Angels. I have learned more and more what sells, what looks right in my space, how to price items, and how to arrange and decorate my space to reflect ME. What started out as a whim...now has become a passion! I have found that when I go "thrifting", I am looking for things that "say something" and things that I can display in my space at Art Angels rather than just random buying "stuff" and cluttering up my house. I feel like downsizing my life and house and AM DOING IT! For the first time in a long time, maybe forever, I can breath easy and relax alittle. I feel like I am at a life turning time in my life like I have never felt before or even knew I needed. It does sound silly that a little space in a antique mall could bring up all these feelings and desire for such change. I have found a most perfect "hobby" and diversion to my everyday life that I have fell in love with. I am, for the first time, openly PROUD of myself and what I have accomplished. It can only get BETTER FROM HERE!!!! Thanks to everyone who encouraged, inspired, acknowledged, and believed in me. I feel as God has lead me to this path and journey to better find and know the ME....I feel so blessed!!
