Hope y'all had a fun Halloween! The rain tried to slow us down, but the boys weren't having it! Caleb had a blast "riding" a dinosaur and Joshua was Freddy Fazbear. We didn't have many houses in our neighborhood participating with Trick or Treating so we had to drive...
We celebrated Caleb's 12th birthday on Saturday. We switched it up this year and had the party at Skyzone instead of at our house, which is both good and bad. Good because I didn't spend the week deep-cleaning our house for guests and bad because I didn't spend the...
I got back early Monday morning from another epic adventure with the boys. It's Fall Break for them and I know I won't be able to do much fun stuff for a while as show season gets busy, so we have been enjoying the week. We decided to go to St. Louis to Six Flags. I...
It's that time of year when lots of banquets are going on and I use it as a way to get my Bella Rustina crew together. Last Thursday we attended the Taste of the Boulevard, a fundraiser for the White Oak Bayou Wetlands Conservancy. Robin couldn't be there, but I was...

I had the best time with my boys last weekend! I found out last-minute I would get to have them for the weekend. My plans had fallen through and I really needed to get out of the house, so I decided to take the boys to see the play David at Sight and Sound Theater in...
Today I worked on updating the Antique Alley Arkansas Antique Show logo. I looked back as far as I could find and I think I created the first logo for the January 2013 antique show. I'll have to ask Robin - She has every single promotional card since the first antique...
I survived! Barely, but that counts. The last month has been the hardest of the year with two shows almost back-to-back. The Conway show in August wasn't too hard on me, but the Rogers show will be a challenge until it is established. Last weekend's Rogers show was...
On the road again! We're in Rogers for the Bella Rustina Modern Vintage Market this Friday-Saturday. I've spent the last three days creating and applying the vinyl words to my truck. I had two other people helping me and it still took forever! I love how it turned...
