I'm so thankful for a successful Bella Rustina last weekend. I needed cancellations badly to make the layout like I wanted it. No one canceled until it was too late to change the layout, so it was the biggest show I've ever hosted with over 400 booths and 246...
Bella Rustina weekend is upon us! It has been another crazy week for me. On Monday a wheel of my enclosed trailer started smoking as I was leaving my neighborhood. I immediate stopped, turned around, and called a friend to come fix it. He was able to fix it Monday...

I found the cutest crewel art at South Main Creative last week! I stopped by to talk to Erin about the Rogers show and of course had to look around. "Grandmama" carefully stitched this 16"x20" art featuring a cat at the back door in 1977. The crewel art didn't come...
