The One That Got Away......

You may remember in my last post I mentioned a dress form that I had recently sold.
Well, here she is...I know this is not the best picture but it was the only one I had as she was sold a day later. This was probably one of the best dress forms that I have ever had. You can't see in the picture but she has the wire cage bottom and her body had the best "patina " ever!!! I was told that she was from the late 1800's.
In the 10 years that I have been buying and selling, I could probably count one on hand the things that I have truly regretted selling and she ranks right up there. I know in my heart that I can't possibly keep everything, and I do enjoy seeing someone discover something that makes their heart beat a little faster...
Well off to find my next "hate to let it go", I know I can't keep it all.........
(Lucky for You !!)

Vacation 101

Been gone for awhile...thought I'd share what I've been up to........

You see, I've been on vacation. I know it doesn't look like I visited
some exotic location...

Or stayed in some fancy resort .......



It just doesn't seem to matter where I go, I just find "stuff",


I had planned to share with you pictures of the charming towns,
and the wonderful Inn just steps from the beach that we stayed in,

but you see, I FORGOT the camera....oh well.
You'd probably rather look at all of the really cool stuff
we picked along the way anyway.

This dress form is probably one of my favorite finds,
she will replace the one sold last week, that well, I'm still regretting selling.
(I will share that in a future post)





Well believe it or not, we managed to get it most of it in the store
last night (finished at midnight)...
Vacation is officially over on Sunday....
I think in order to really have a vacation I will have to leave the country...
Hmmmm....maybe France? I'm sure I won't find any "stuff' there!!
If you are off on your summer vacation, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed mine
and don't forget your camera!!
