Some of my favorite Multiples

I love multiples, groups and collections of things. Here are some pictures I took really quickly at the shop of some of the many multiples I have on hand. I read about Michelle's (Vintage Junky) multiples party and I knew I had to join in on the fun.
Check out her blog party

The Country Living Fair at Columbus









The Country Living Fair this year was great! We didn't have the horrible weather that we had last year. Our booth was packed with great shoppers most of the show. The people at this show are so nice and receptive to us it is a pleasure to do. However, this show is exhausting (aren't they all) there are so many people that we had a line most of the time and we had three of us working the booth! The show is really fun to shop at too. Gail and Debbie both went with me and we all took turns going shopping around at the show. I got a really cute necklace made by a girl who was set up at the show. I think I am going to start carrying her jewelry at the shop. Also the lady set up next to us made really wonderful candles and we all bought some of those. It is just a wonderful show that is full of eye candy. But as always I am so glad to be back home.
Sincerely,
Scarlett
