Open House at Art Angels! (our new booth)

Well I guess you can tell I found my camera charger, just in time for our first open house.
So here we go! I will try not to write very much because there are lots of pictures.




OK, first here are pictures of our space.
We wanted to be all decorated for Halloween for the open house.
We had so much fun this week getting ready for this.

Our things seem to mix very well.

We are full to the brim and already talking about a bigger space.
I just don't think we are ready for that.


Kathy made our beautiful sign!
She is Chic and I'm Shabby.



I love the western look.
I have a few of these worn cowboy boots.
I fill them with dirt and plant flowers in them.
































Here we are!
Sue on the left and that makes Kathy on the right.



















Sorry Kathy, I couldn't tell your eyes were closed when I downloaded the picture.














Love this hat!












She looks better in it.















Me and my hubby Duncan.














Me with 2 of my girls, Amanda and Katie.

This is Rachel and Emily, best friends.
Rachel is Kathy's and Emily is mine.
When they get older you just can't seem to get all the girls together for a family photo anymore.


We both have 3 girls.

















Kathy and her hubby Bruce.


















Kathy and her oldest Brittney

















My sister Shari, me, Nicole(store manager), Renee'(store owner) and Kathy.



















We were trying to do the cleavage shot.
























Our wonderful long time friends.
Lori(BFF) Michelle, Me, Kathy.
Our kids started kindergarden together and they just graduated from high school this year.
I think we all look the same.




















My friend from high school, Phyllis.






















More friends.

Cindy in the middle lives across the street and her 2 girls grew up with mine.


























My sister Shari and I.
Do you think we look alike?
She is a year younger then me but she has 5! grandchildren and I have none. So that makes her older now.
Right?
























My very good buddie Ann from
The Boston Lady. She is a wonderful writer so check her out.
And CG another longtime friend.




























Chit Chat































Other booths in the store.




















The Susans!

These ladies are so talented.
They do this art with a simple camera. And they have classes.






























This is Jim. His space is next to ours.
I love his stuff and he knows his stuff.






























More booths





























and more


































and more.

I hope you enjoyed our space.
I have to say we are very proud.
Thanks for sticking with me thru all these pictures.
And thank you to all my family and friends who came by to visit.
We had a blast!
Hugs to all my blogging friends.

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!

Photo: I don't know where I found this. If you know please let me know so I can give credit.
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.
