That’s Los Angeles, San Luis Obispo and New Orleans!  What an exhausting trip and oh so much sister fun.  I highly recommend San Luis Obispo for a lovely holiday sandwiched between the ocean and vineyards in beautiful rolling central coastal hills in California. New Orleans is quite an experience.  Never ever go during Mardi Gras.  We were there at a “normal” time of year and it is still a strange and curiously entertaining place.  Oh yes, and Bourbon Street smells … Continue reading →

Well, the next big market is on the horizon for moi.  I will be heading to sunny California for the antiques sale voted #1 in America by flea market fans.  Remnants of the Past is in Nipomo, California on the Central Coast.  My sis and I will be womanning two booths of her wonderful finds from the most recent Roundtop, Texas flea.  Fun Fun Fun!  Lots of new ideas for repurposing cool junk….

Thanks everyone who attended my Menage de la Garage Part Deux.  I had a ball and I’m fairly certain lots of others enjoyed perusing my treasures and making them their own! I have a few items left but for the most part I was cleaned out…..which is a good thing. And my amazing and talented sister Marilyn came to help me stage the whole event.  I’m so happy she was here for me.  I think this retail thing is in … Continue reading →

I’ve got lots of great stuff and if you’ve got lots of great ideas about using stuff in your home and garden come on over on July 23 1-5pm to pick through the piles of goodies.  If you like watching American Pickers or Canadian Pickers or you love reading the decorating magazines such as Country Living or Romantic Homes then you’ll love shopping in my garden/garage/home.  I will be featuring some of my artwork, decor items, purses, chandeliers, chairs, a … Continue reading →

I found this guy in – yeah, you guessed it – Texas.  I always figured he would be in a Rolls Royce.  Oh right, that was the bhagwan.  The inspiration never stops.

Just a few of the goodies I found in Texas.  I now have enough to finish my alphabet series.  And enough to start a glamour girl series after that.  Can’t wait to get started.

Wow – a wonderful trip.  Texas did not disappoint.  Miles and Miles of Amazing Stuff – many would call it junk – I call it beautiful.  Too much to describe.  Check out Roundtop Antique Show/Warrenton/Marburger  online – it just goes on and on.  I obtained beautiful antique linen, and a pair of Old Gringo cowgirl boots that are my new faves.  Three suitcases full of goodies. We loaded and unloaded a 14 foot uhaul many times and drove it across … Continue reading →

I’m busy packing and planning for my trip to LA and Texas.  Prairie girl meets LA art scene!  Can’t wait to show my work off at A Beautiful Mess and meet lots of new people who will LOVE my art – If I can’t say that who can?  Stay tuned….

Six More Sleeps till LA/Texas.  Lots to take care of in those six more sleeps days.  The attached photo is of “Rosalind”, a lovely dolly who was abandoned by her owner and for sale at the last Roundtop Show that I went to.  I photographed her and many of her pals and have done paintings of them.  Some love them, many don’t.  I love them.  I paint them, give them names and hope to sell them to new owners.  I’m … Continue reading →

I am officially scheduled to go to Roundtop Antiques Show – which I have told many of you about – at the end of this month.  Yahooo…  It is the most fun ever – with or without your boots.  You name it you can buy it at Roundtop.  My amazing and talented sister Marilyn (I’m the pretty one), her junk antiques friend Victoria Stoehr and I will be driving a u-haul truck from Austin, Texas to Thousand Oaks, California and … Continue reading →
