so much scope for the imagination...

I hit the jackpot this weekend!

ad read:

sale in garage
bring your flashlight and particle mask

hmmm... now I 'm interested

we get there:
enter at your own risk
everything is for sale
make a pile and we'll deal





That was an understatement!

2 sheds full of antique parts

most too far gone from their original use

but ohh so much potential

(my dear husband runs from that word!)

But look at what I got for $50.00

I was still a little tired from last weekend

but this was just what I needed

to get me going again!

Mothers...

Her children arise and call her blessed...

My mother is

We took time from the busy-ness of the last few weeks

to celebrate the upcoming arrival of Brogan,

my 4th grandson.

Miss Gracies...

Welcome to my sale!

These are just a few of the items I had finished

but

the list in my mind went on and on...

maybe next time:)

This header is one of my favorites...

(I actually took it down from my parlor wall)

Look at my chandelier!

I've been waiting for weeks to get it up

and NO it was not for sale!

I LOVE it!

The overflow of white pretties

my "vintage" new Miss Gracie


I didn't get her completely finished

but I really wanted her to be there!

check out the next post for "my friends"

and other sale tidbits.

Thanks for looking.

...and friends

Here are some treasures from my"friends"

I just love that pink chippy baby basket

this was from Gayle's space

soo elegant

Miss Gracie's Sweet Shoppe

open for business:

lemon bars

chocolate cheesecakes
toffee bars

chocolate cupcakes with raspberry buttercream

And here are some of my wonderful customers

It was different this time

instead of a big rush it was a steady stream

some of my established customers didn't make it

at first I was worrying-

just how are we going to pay for this new roof?

but the Lord brought me new customers:

a dealer from a very cool shabby shop in the area~

I am soo honored that she is putting some of my stuff in her shop

a young girl setting up her home~she was just beaming with excitement

a young mennonite mother buying my child's table and chairs for her little girl

I ended up having terrific sales-

just a little left as a seed pile or to take over to the shop.

I paid for the roof

and

some left over to go shopping with again !

Why do I worry and doubt?

It was a good time!

It's a family affair...

Only one more day

it's starting to come together

everyone has been working soo hard

getting the lawn ready

my son, the electrician,

getting me power so

I can hang my chandlelier!

Even the grandsons are recruited

My mom working on her space

getting ready to move in...

I want to post pictures tomorrow evening if I have time

but I won't:)

there is always so much to do

so if if not I'll be back Sunday

to let ya all know how it went!

Have a good weekend...
