I'm Late...I'm Late....I'm Late....

I'm late in posting.....but, I have a really good excuse ;) These past 3+ weeks have been busy. First my sweet daddy came up to visit with me on Memorial Day weekend. I haven't seen him since I moved here almost two years ago. That's him on the right and the cowboy to the left of him is my dad's BIL...my Uncle Tip. Aunt Ruth (my dad's sister) and Uncle Tip came from Enterprise, Oregon, about 3 hours away to visit with my dad while he was here. My dad was able to stay for four days. I wish it could have been longer. He is coming back in September to visit a few more days. We had a great visit!! I miss him soooo much! I was almost ready to go back to Cali with him.






After Memorial Day weekend it was time to celebrate my youngest, Tyler's birthday. He turned 18 on June 5th. I shared his birthday in an earlier post.



In between visiting with my dad and celebrating my youngest son's milestone birthday I was trying to get ready for the sale I was participating in. "Miss Gracies" and Friends sale that was being held on June 11th & 12th. In reality......I gave myself about a week and a half to get items ready for the sale. I know, crazy huh?? I tell myself that I work best under pressure! While I was busy setting up my booth, my son Tyler was kind enough to take some photos of the wonderful treasures that were being offered ....



Here is my space in the red barn. I was working on getting it set up for the sale which was about to open in 3 hours! We were down to the wire......




Another look at my booth in progress.....



It's starting to take shape....only an hour to go before the customers arrive.....




I loved the vintage green door and wasn't sure if I could sell it.

It sold......



Many, Many happy customers with their purchases.......





LOVE this vanity.......




I think I am going to have to steal....errr....borrow this idea with the door and shutters.

LOVE it!!




Another adorable piece!.....





Beautiful.........





I wanted this cabinet and my heart nearly broke when I found out that she was not for sale.....
she was display only....


This beautiful mirror caught my eye also. My son reminded me that there was absolutely no more room for another mirror in our home.

Isn't she beautiful???




Treasures......




More treasures........This is Marilyn's booth from The Gatherings. She will be having a blog soon, which I will share with you all as soon as her blog is up and running.




More of Marilyn's booth......




Marilyn has beautiful treasures......I found a great bowl she had that I had to have ;) It can be dangerous doing these sales as I have a tendency to purchase from other vendors more than I sell!!




Rustic......Love




The green door was my favorite and sold before I could grab it!

Darn!!



I have a lot of catching up to do.....so I'll be posting more. I have missed a few weeks of Rhoda @ Southern Hospitality's Today's Thrifty Treasures. I have found some great treasures and I have a couple of projects in the works. Hope you don't mind a few more posts. I feel like I have been gone forever. I will say that I have found time over the last few weeks to visit with some of you, I couldn't miss visiting with you all ;)


Until Later,

♥ Toni

  5. Toni girl,
    Don't feel like the Lone Stranger...I've been a bad blogger too!
    I'm so glad you had such a wonderful visit with your daddy. He's not an excuse for not blogging...just a darn good reason...in fact...the best! BTW, we called my granddaddy Tip...sometimes Tippo!
    While I was reading about your prep work, I thought I read "booth in prayers". Isn't that what we do when were working under pressure? I hear you about working better under pressure 'cept when you get to be my age, it seems to take longer. I just don't work as fast as I used to! Your space looked wonderful.
    One last thing...if you don't steal, I mean borrow that door idea...be warned...I WILL!

  7. Toni I just love Rene's sales. I bought so much stuff from her at the last one I went to, it barely fit in the truck. I have a four door truck and it took all the back seat and bed of the truck to bring it all home. I hope to make her sale again sometime. This year I had just got back from Farm Chicks and had spent all my $$$$. It looks like the sale was wonderful!!!!
    hugs

  9. I remember your booth-I picked up the spindles and almost bought them, but I didn't. Now I wish I would have! I loved everything you had there. I just loved it all in general!!
