Oh What a Weekend!
Well. Now that I've somewhat recovered from this past market weekend, I thought I'd share some of what I saw, discovered and sold! :) As usual I got most of the setting up done on Friday afternoon.

Works in Progress
I've been rather productive the past 2 days. Finally! I think its all that sleep I caught up on last week when hubby was home. I was averaging 10+ hours a night... a much needed change :) Now that he's back to work, I've slipped back into my bad sleeping, or rather not sleeping, habits. Opps! But … [Read more...]
