Tolentreasures

Some of these may be slight repeats from the last post, but we did manage to pull it all together and the show was a success! By Sunday AM, our three room display had shrunk to one room and everything was well picked over. We learned a lot and plan to do it bigger and better next year. It was a great experience, but tired? I was in bed at 7:40 last night and I think that I might have slipped into a bit of a coma! Highlights: 1. I was able to meet two blogging friends face to face, Lois and Nina, it was great to meet both of you. Nina, your grandsons are adorable, I can only imagine how fun it would be to have them together with my grandsons, a little exhausting, but fun! Lois, hope that you had a great bike ride home, it was such a beautiful day. 2. The girls now have the crafting "bug" and are planning for next year and what fun to have a family project to work on. 3. The nice comments from everyone about how they were happy to buy handcrafted items and not Made in Chi...

If anyone is looking for a road trip this weekend...or thinking of one, here is a suggestion. Our Open House is not the only event in the area. Check out these websites. The Christmas Open House is in Smicksburg, Pa this weekend, and Bev from Tymes Past will have her shop open. She is cleaning out a house filled with antiques and goodies. I will have directions to her place at my house. I would love to meet some of you from Blogland! All of these events/places are about 60 miles north of Pittsburgh. A great place to spend the day and the weather should be perfect! http://www.smicksburg.net/ http://www.smicksburg.com/ http://www.tymes-past.com/ http://tymespast.blogspot.com/2009/10/antiques-liquidation-sale-spread-word.html
