This week my days are full of phone calls and running all over the place getting ready for Bella Rustina next weekend. Yesterday I had the ACs checked in the old WalMart and they are blowing cold, which is a huge relief since the building has been sitting for a year....
I'll keep it short tonight as I need to get to bed as soon as possible so maybe I can function tomorrow. It's after 4:00AM; Who am I kidding? I'm laughing more than anything because it doesn't matter how hard I try to complete the email early, something (more like a...
I'm getting started on my Bella Rustina projects. The September 6-8 event will be in Maumelle this time and I'm looking forward to it. I can't wait to share all the new advertising I've been working on - the commercial is almost done and I'm trying something different...

Last week I mentioned that I was invited to set up last-minute at the Maumelle Chamber of Commerce for a "Christmas in July/ Shop SMAumeLLe" event. The vintage flamingos came in handy as well as other Bella Rustina props I've bought recently. Lots of show cards were...
Yesterday I visited Country Club Flea Market's new location at 9107 HWY 107 Sherwood, Arkansas 72120. The owners of Hidden Treasures (including their adorable dachshunds) retired and the previous Country Club Flea Market building was sold and Country Club Flea...

Happy Independence Day! I hope you have a fun and/or relaxing day planned. We'll be all over the place with Maumelle events. Big Caleb is in the parade so we'll be decking out his vehicle, which is always fun. Little Caleb's pre-K had a parade with decorated bikes,...
