It's show week! Exhibitors brought some great stuff into the Conway Expo Center today. It's my 80th show and 10th anniversary of Bella Rustina. Of course everything is crazy like usual because I like to change things up. I got the last-minute idea to have 10th...
Today I went to the funeral of a good friend. Jim Payseno lived in Maumelle and made a difference in so many people's lives over the years. He was Santa to my boys every year during the Lion's Club "Pancakes with Santa" event. What's funny is we saw Jim...
Whew! We have a bunch of sales this weekend after a bunch of sales rescheduled last week. I hope you all made it through the storms okay! Between storms I took the boys to see the Minecraft movie Friday night. I've never been so lost watching a movie in my life, but I...

Once again the Zonta Antique Show did not disappoint when it came to having cool stuff! I got a great piece of artwork for my dining room by Masao Ohba. The colors match almost perfectly. The dining room painting is complete (we painted the ceiling blue!) and tomorrow...
Greetings from Longview, Texas! I'm here as exhibitor director of the Zonta Antique Show taking place this weekend inside the Maude Cobb Convention Center. I left out early this morning to make the 3.5-hour drive. When I arrived the pipe and drape, tables, and chairs...
