Really? I haven't posted since September....

Moving....
I moved, started a new job in August, been studying so I am behind. I also moved my business from "The Spare Room" in Everett to "Lasting Legacy" in Burien. Just two weeks after I got my items out of "The Spare Room" it burnt down.  So many of my vendor friends lost so much, (their items made it through the fire, but many had their items stolen or smoke damaged). My heart goes out to them. 

Zumba...
I've resumed teaching Zumba now twice a week at Carriages at Fairwood Downs.  A great group of ladies. The same group did a dance flash mob on 12/23 at The Kent Station along with some others from the area. We wore our Santa hats and had so much fun!

New Store
I just began renting a full sized booth in Burien. I love the store, the vendors and the owner.  It's an old barn with lots of cool stuff.  I have added a Nautical and a French Country line. Lately, I've been finding cool clocks to re-do as well as suitcases and other treasures.

Here's hoping I can post more in the next few weeks!

 

Long time since I've been here...

Since the last time I wrote, I have moved to a whole new city to be by my new job with Boeing and then finished my first quarter back to finish my degree!  I MUST report that I got an "A" this quarter!  YAY!

Besides hanging with Jim in this busy time, I am teaching Zumba with some amazing ladies.  (I have to get the workout in there). I love my new location and the people I am meeting.  I do miss my friends from up north.

At the Spare Room Vintage Market:
I had two pillows that I was selling but before I could get a picture of one, I had already been purchased...Here is my picture and I plan on making a boatload of them with different sayings.  Do you have any sayings you'd like to suggest? Write me here!

Okay, I have been busy getting ready to move in order to adjust to my new position within Boeing. I have taken those pieces that have been in my garage and fixed them up....Now they're at "The Spare Room" shop in Everett. I will add more soon!

My life as recently....

This I had to take some time off work to have surgery and I stopped working on House Blend. So I worked to prep everything as much as possible but loading my booth up to the rim!!! 

Here are some new items and some re-arranging pictures:

Going back to bed now.  Jim has been taking great care of me as I

                             Recovering.  He made me meals that he froze that all I have to do
                             is heat and eat.

New Items

Love, love,love the weekends for getting things done! Here is a patriotic side table I completed....

                                                    Here is another picture of  the table

                              
                      Then, there's a mint/torquoise side table and 1938 bread box...

       More to come as I get the furniture in the garage painted and out to the store!

Soft dresser

I don't have a whole lot to add today, but I am pleased with the latest dresser completed soon to be at "The Spare Room" in Everett. I'm busy painting up a storm this weekend; finishing up an end table that's turquoise, a patriotic table and a 1938 bread box.Trying to get a whole lot done before going back to college!

New Items and a Refurbished table!!!!

I've been wanting to get to this for awhile, but Memorial Day weekend provided the opportunity at last!  Jim gave me this table and we both decided it would be a great thing to fix up for my daughter and son in law!  Here is the stripping.....my arms are so tired! 

                                                     Right now it is transformed into this.....

                                                I just have to seal it up. I love how it turned out! 
                                         The table is a gift for the kids' first wedding anniversary.

Then I worked on some pieces and added some new items to my stock at The Spare Room in Everett WA.

                                                          New Sign...like the quote...

                                                       Block letters..........

                                                         New Coffee sign....

      I also thinned out my cluttered closet, donated a bunch of stuff to Value Village and did some deep cleaning.  Oh my, that feels good!  Jim and I spent Sunday together and had an amazing time!  ( I honored my former Navy Hero)!

Anyone else conquer some major projects over the weekend?
