Save The Date

I just finished May sales, but it is never too soon to advertise for the July sales...

I will be open July 3, 10, 17, and 24...sorry, closed on the 31st ~ I HAVE to go to Chicago to see Kid Rock & BonJovi :)

On the 3rd, I will extend my hours from 9 to 3. I would love to be open on the 2nd as well, but the little monsters have a their last t-ball game that night. The remaining Saturdays I will be open from 9-noon.

There will be lots of new stuff ~ not sure what that will be, but that is what I am doing the next four weeks!! Shopping for Junk - what fun!!!!

So...come shop on the 3rd and celebrate your independence from the ordinary, the mass-produced, the mainstreamed...and buy some funky, one-of-a-kind junk!

Catching up...

Feel like I haven't posted in forever! Life has been crazy around here...

My final May sale last Saturday was incredible! Had some newbies stop by and hope that they will all pay me a visit again! July 3 will be here before we know it...

A few of you mentioned that you loved those fabrics that I posted a while back. Well, they were all made into these bags. I did not sell ANY of them at my sales, so they will be going on etsy in the next few days!

I have also been busy with a few family happenings...

Ben's preschool graduation ~ here he is with his twin cousins, Zane and Zander

my other job...is it the 3rd or 4th one??

Some days it seems like I have 3 or 4 jobs...teacher, mom, junker, crafter....Anyway, I have also been selling this jewelry since about October. I have posted about it before, but thought I would do it again. I just love this stuff!!! It is all hand-made, in California...
