I am not a right wing extremist

Good morning,
I wanted to talk about the Tea Party that i attended here in Valdosta. When I got home and started watching some of the coverage mainly on national TV I thought I better post a blog entry and assure you all that I am not a right wing extremist. I am a stay at home mom, blogger, vintage and country lovin person. I respect the office of the President, I am not a racist, I just think it is a bad thing to make Government bigger and lastly my hard working husband owns his own business and he is literally getting taxed to death. That is it, to me it is not about a political party it is about a principle.

Thought I would post a picture of my little 10x10 foot area I have at "Southern Trademark" antique mall located in Adel Georgia. I am having fun stocking it.
Have a great day,
Make a Memory

Tax Day Tea Party

I've got several things going. I just got back from staying with my Grandma in Erath Louisiana. My Mom went with my Grandpa Dr. Chet Boudreaux on an "Honor Flight" to Washington D.C. and I stayed with my my Grandma. She turned 89 the day we got there. My Grandfather is 88. I love getting local goodies from the Wal-Mart there.







Next in line is my Tax Day Tea Party sign my daughter made for me. I love my country and I respect the office of the President, and our Taxes are really high......thus all of that means "silence is approval" so I am going to the tea party. I am sort of shy so I will just hold the sign in front of my face.....LOL!!!!!!

Last a cool perfume lamp I got on E bay. A carriage for Marie Antoinette....gotta love it!!!!!!!

Have a great day and Make a Memory.....
That is my plan

Pink Dogwood

We planted a Pink Dogwood tree in our back yard last year about this time. I took this picture this morning. It is small but oh so pretty. Here in Georgia it is soggy, big time. We are no longer in a drought, but boy have we had the rain!

Have a great day,
Stephanie

Craft Bug!

I got bit by the crafting bug. I was inspired by the new Stampington's Marie issue. Wow!
Major eye candy. I gathered some neat stuff up and got the glue gun out!
I also painted some eggs..... Eggs under glass! While I was crafting the dogs were trying to find a warm spot. The last fun craft was a bride clip art I had added some tulle and some crepe paper and Wha La!
Take Care,

Picnik Addiction

I am lovin this "time eater" no but really I am...... The possibility's are endless

Sunny Sunday in Valdosta Georgia

Valdosta is also know as "Azalea City" our town is full of Dogwoods, Wisteria, Japanese magnolias and so much more. All those beautiful plants plus the Pine trees cause everything around them to be YELLOW.....Pollen abounds!!!! Our whole family is sneezing and vying for the closet Kleenex box.

I went to check on my booth in Adel yesterday and added more goodies. I am having fun and seem to always be thinking of things I need to do to improve it.

I found picnik and I am totally addicted. I am turning black and white clip art to colors at a very fast rate.

To Market to Market

Today was the day! My daughter and I make the 20 minute trip to Adel Georgia and set up my booth. I have been wanting to do this for a long, long time. I have a 6 month lease. Took some quick pictures to chronicle the event....LOL......More to come.

Stepping OUt

I am going to set up a booth at a local Antique store in a near by town. I am very excited and overwhelmed. I have been tagging and wrapping my goodies for their journey to Adel GA. Valdosta does not have a venue for me to use. The drive is short and back country roads that I enjoy driving. A plus is my Brother and his family live there too! I am going to tag my goodies with clip art tags, like the ones above. I have a 10x10 space. Better get back to work on it.

Books galore........I love ole books.

My sweet hubby bought our daughters and I each a dozen roses. I love pink so I was thrilled to say the least. I am hoping that the girls remember all the things Rob has done for them, when they are considering a husband. Romance never goes out of style.

Candle and Craft Kit

Is this cool or what. I am still hanging on to it even though I got it to sell in my etsy shop. So groovy man.....

"Copper "

Close up of Copper girl,
I love this... I googled a variety of descriptions and as always found something very similar on Ebay. One person said it was to "hold an air plant" another described it as a candle holder...... I am going to stick with planter...... Whatever you want it to be is fine by me!

I love this picture. Huldah Cherry Jeffe is the best for this style. I sold this in my Etsy shop "Bug on the Green Vintage"......... It is not by Huldah and I am trying to learn and google who this artist is.

Taylor Smith and Taylor

I love Taylor Smith and Taylor dishes. My Mom gave me most of what I have. It has such a cool retro feel. It is reminiscent of the Avocado colored appliances. I display my dishes in my kitchen all the time. I am hoping one of my daughter's like the pattern so I can pass it along to them. Vintage is so "IN" right now in fashion and home decor, and I'm lovin it!
