I can't find the battery charger for my camera!

I have searched for 5 days and can't find it. I took it out of my carry on with my phone charger and put it somewhere. And my camera is dead! That's is why I haven't posted anything this week and you know when you can't post you think of alot of stuff to post about.
Anyway, I can tell you something.
We are having an open house tonight at our new shop space Art and Antiques. I will get pictures somehow and post. We fixed our space up for Halloween and have to say it looks awesome! The bad thing is a pretty big piece sold yesterday so we have to get in there this morning and fix it. If that's a bad thing.
We already need a bigger space and have only been doing this for 1 month! Ok, I just want to say something today because I feel like I'm neglecting my blog and blogging buddies and I miss you.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day today.

Huggies to all of ya!

It's so cute!

Good Evening Montana!

The sun setting over Flathead Lake!











My Florida friend gave me this crazy cat! Her husband hated it and my thinks someone is going to fall on it and die.



I like it.

I think it belongs on the picnic table.








This guy has collected a long time and has decided to sell because his kids would just throw it away when he dies.





This is his shed and it's his second weekend open.










Mostly old tools but some good rusted stuff.















This is what I found and bought. I was looking for old black ice skates. I think these are really cool.


























I love this old red chair with my coffee tables. Aren't the cool?













Montana friends.












We were only there for 3 days but managed to spend time with all our friends





















































































Aren't the cute?





















We just love being with these friends.
















Sitting by the lake.
Not much summer time here.
























Cutie Pie!




I think I figured out my pictures so I will be doing a better job of posting.

Shop update, we had the most sales of the month and we only were there 3 weeks! We are so excited! We are fluffing for Halloween so I will be posting very soon more pictures.
Enjoy your weekend my blogging friends.

I'm home from sweet Montana!

We did a fast trip to Montana! I worked for US Airways for 20 years so I do get flying benefits and we took advantage of it. It's not as easy as it sounds. Standby is not fun. But this time it worked for us.
The weather was cool and sunny the first 2 days and then cool and rainy the last and I loved it.
Got to visit our wonderful friends.
If they read this I want them all to know how much I enjoy them, all of you!
For a 3 day trip I have so much to say. I know this is a winter picture of the house but I can't figure out what my hubby did to my pictures so I'm having trouble downloading pictures.
As soon as I get the picture thing figured out I will be posting.
Enjoy your week everyone. You are all special to me.

A little Moto GP for him and a buddy and The Emmy's for me!

Pillows

This is from a linen and cotton Potterybarn roll up shade.













I buy feather pillows from the Thrift Store and send the covers to Goodwill if I don't like them. I do make sure the pillow is very clean and a lot of times they are new. The most I pay is about $5.00!







I cut one side of the ties off.






Centered the pillow and rolled it up.











Gathered the end and wrapped the tie around it and tucked it under.



















































I really like the way it turned out. The material is light weight and natural feeling.


























This is 2 table napkins from Anthropologie that I sewed together with the ruffles showing. I paid $1.95 for each napkin!

















These are Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic table napkins I bought at the Thrift Store for $1.91 for 4 of them.
I put new Potterybarn pillows that I also bought at the Thrift.
I think they are very cute.
















This was a valance that came with the bed spread it's on.
This one I left the balls out.
















I think I might redo this one and leave the balls on the outside.





















I added vintage ribbon to tie it closed.


















This was another Potterybarn curtain panel. I made 2 pillows out of this one.




















I hope you liked my pillows, I might be putting them in my little shop.
Which is doing pretty good, I sold 14 things on Monday!
Our Wednesday is rainy and that does keep the temp. down.
I'm enjoy it.
Hope you are have a good day blogging friends.
