Whew! I made it!

What a long weekend!  We made it to What Cheer at around 2:00 Thursday got all set up and ready for 3 days of wheelin' and dealin'!  90+ degree temps and rain ALL THREE nights made for a long, but profitable weekend!

Here's some pictures of our booth...




I got rid of a lot of things I've held onto for awhile, so that made me very happy... I got to finally meet some blogging friends, so that made me ExTrEmelY happy!  Kim from kimmykats and Janelle from The Farmer's Wife stopped by to chat. I love finally meeting the people I follow and chat with on the Internet, the relationship means so much more.  Kim's husband works with my BIL for the same company (just different locations) so it is a very small world sometimes!

Here's a glimpse of what was at this year's flea..

a look from across our booth


 I loved this booth, she had so many goodies!

 I LOVED this chippy bench, she sold one, and this one was calling my name...

Salt and peppers anyone?!


It WAS all good until Sunday, that is.  A big storm came through about 1:30 Sunday morning... glad I wasn't one of these vendors...


 I guess the tent KINDA protected the items...

 Tent ON TOP of camper...

 Tents missing, tents bent...
Wonder if that one was even salvageable?


So, all in all a good weekend... how was yours?


Thanks for stoppin' by,

Kim, first and foremost loved meeting you and your family. Your booth was filled with beautiful items. I hope that you had an easy time packing the trailer because you sold so much!! I didn't realize the storms hit you so bad---I was so exhausted(you know all about getting ready for a show) I actually slept through it.
