How could you call it junk?

I feel like I should start this post with an apology for not posting

for so long.  But, I'm realizing I may be apologizing all of the time.

Working full time and blogging is a tough gig.

My posts may be fewer and further in-between, but

I think about blogging all of the time.

Does that count?   I guess I am setting expectations

with you......hope you understand.

The late nights of reality tv and blogging are over.

I get up at 5:30 am, and sleep has taken priority.

This weekend my two favorite girls {Tatum and my Mom} and

I went to the Junk Bonanza.  Have you been?

It's held out at Canterbury Park racetrack.

Why oh why did I not know about this event sooner in life?!?!

Its pretty much beyond fabulous.

It holds all of the unique items you can see in blogs of

decor that I never could find at garage sales or vintage stores.

And, I went crazy.

I needed to find something for this landing in my house.

It's a very small place up high in the entrance of our home.

 I had no idea what would fit.....but I thought 

some vintage luggage all stacked up would look cool.

And, after not a ton of looking I found three 

pieces at a reasonable price and a "form".

I adorned the form with a belt I wore here and begged my Dad

to bring his ladder and do something I was scared to do.

Put it all up really high....I am not a fan of heights!

I also got some antlers, but I need my crafty dad to make a 

mount and then I will paint it and share it with all of you, 

of course.

I also saw these and we think these would be great for

one of our next Craft Days!

Do tell if you have ever been to Junk Bonanza...it's gonna

be a tradition for this girl.  They even serve wine, bloody Mary's and champagne 

while you shop...we indulged on the mini donuts, of course.

Oh, wanna know why else I have been busy?

Someone turned 4 years old in our house.

...and parties just don't plan themselves,
right?

Toodles....
