Country Living Magazine is following us!


It's Country Living Magazine and they are following ME on pinterest! They also have recently "liked" us on Facebook! I'd love for you to do the same if you haven't already. I post more frequently on Facebook but I am getting a little better about blogging if I do say so myself.

This week starts off the big antique week in Nashville. That means lots of shopping and spending time with good friends from far away. I always like to go to see what is available at the Tailgate Antiques Show and the Music Valley Antiques Market. This time they are going to be at their new location in Hendersonville, TN. I'm looking forward to checking out their new location. Also this show they are having the "Vintage Marketplace" I'm really looking forward to shopping this one.
Then there's Heart of Country. This show is a must see because of my good friend Barb at Simply Iowa, she has a great eye and the best displays ever! It's always fun to go check out what they have. I grew up doing these shows with my family. My dad would unload his cattle trailer that was filled to the brim with old painted country pieces. Those were the days. Can't wait to see everyone and what they bring. And most importantly to SHOP!!
Sincerely,
Scarlett

Somebody's Watching Me

Do you ever feel like someone is watching you or following you? That feeling when you're completely caught up in whatever it is you are doing and you suddenly realize that there is someone back there watching what you are doing? This can be a creepy feeling can't it? Just ask Michael Jackson. There is even a song about it by Rockwell. Or what about when there is someone following you? Lets say that you're in the grocery store and the same lady keeps evidently having the same things on her list that you have on yours. She is behind you on multiple isles, I'd swear she's following me. Has this ever happened to you? That's an odd sensation. My imagination can sometimes get the best of me but now I KNOW SOMEONE IS FOLLOWING ME!

Can you take a guess at who it might be?

a hint: it's not creepy this time

Sincerely,
Scarlett

New England Unloading sale this weekend

Happy new year everyone. Several weeks into it. After spending a couple of weeks visiting Louie's family and going junking daily, we headed home with a truck full of great stuff and our two dogs. Now just in case you're having trouble with the visual, here are some details you'll need to know. We drove a 16' box truck to New England and back for the holiday's. It seats 2 people. It's not the most comfortable with 2 people and 2 dogs but the 16' BOX on the back makes up for so much:)
Since it is really hard to find fresh old merchandise in the dead of the winter down here we decided to have an unloading sale, New England style. Louie will be serving his yummy clam chowder in keeping with the best of New England. I'd love to post some pictures of what we will be selling but naturally I can't find the camera charger. Some things never change.

Here are the details of the sale this Saturday:
