decide to decide....


decisions...I hate 'em
I don't know why
it's fear, I guess
fear that I won't make the right decision
fear that I will neglect the ones I love the very most
fear that I can't live up to my own expectations


After 
stalling for as long as I could possibly stall, 
lots of prayer and talks with My Mr.
I did it.
I decided.



We have a date!


miss gracies and friends
ViNtaGe barn sale
June 22 and 23

I've pulled up pics of the past 3 sales
to show you
and remind me of what I've done for past sales
be warned: lots of photos ahead




2011









2010











2009





Making the decision is what it took to get me moving,
I have been busy shopping and pinning and planning
We have a HUGE paint weekend coming up
If you're in Idaho and think you might be able to make it
shoot me an email and I'll mail  you an invite

  3. Oh- How I wish I could be there- if for no other reason than to meet you in person. Everything you have showing here is just GORGEOUS. Congrats on making the decision. I do think that is the hardest part of all...making the call to just DO IT! xo Diana

  8. It's all wonderful, and this one will be too.
    I'm not sure what it is about deciding either. I think you are right, fear based somehow.

    I've been trying to decide about anew sign for the store for 2 years!!!!

    My daughter said "just decide! Even if it is wrong at least you have made a decision!" Did that help? no. Still have not decided.

    always enjoy my visits here.

    My Sister in law and I put together the Vintage Marketplace at the Oaks here in California and yes it was hard at first but after 3 years it does gets easier. You will have a wonderful time and great sales. June is a great month to do it. I will keep checking on your progress. Ciao Rita

  23. Renee,

    Oh how I wish we were closer so I could attend this event. I know I'd be returning to the Fairfield House with lots of treasures! Have you considered listing any items online for Miss Gracie fans that live too far away to attend? If so, please let me know.

    Your Friend,
    Deborah
