On The RoAd AGaiN..........

There is never a time that we are not busy, but this time of Year is CrAzY BuSy!  I LoVe this Job.....but, it's hard to keep up with.  
Jess and I  design and make almost ALL of our pieces which takes alot of time.  After many sleepless nights  (most of my designing is in my sleep) we then have to find treasures to use. (mostly ViNtagE).....We DO have SevEral PicKers that HelP us.  Thank GOD for them!  
 
We are only HomE about 3 or 4 days a week.  In that time we work on products to sell in between household stuff that needs done too.  We then pack it all up and Off we go to the next show.......Yes, I do consider us GyPsiEs......but nice GyPsiEs! 
Once we get to where we are going.....we unload from 2 Large VehicLEs.  We have a lot of DisPlay and.... Of course a lot of FabriC.  This is all part of marketing our product.  
 
This is a portion of our booth space at "Spoon River Drive" this last weekend.  It takes us about 4 hours for this kind of booth.  Some of our shows we work 8 to 10 hours just setting up.  We do what we can the day before and finish up the day of the show.  I LOVE staging our BoOth! 
This time of year we have more fun accessories like scarves, gLoves, fuRrY thiNgs EtC.

We were inside a Big Circus Tent.  I guess you could say we built a house in a house!


I LOVE ViNtAge StuFf.








It's fun to see our customers enjoying our things too!
 
We truly do enjoy all of you who like our designs and items we personally pick out to sell with our pieces.
We are fortunate and blessed to have the talent it takes to make this
business work and be able to do something we love for our income.  We have made the choice not to punch a 9 to 5 time clock (and be counting the minutes to get off of work) for being a free spirit and doing what we LOVE.
 
I know we both work longer hours....have sore muscles....get up way to early.....But wouldn't trade it for anything else!  It's awesome to look forward to what you do!!!!
 
Thanks for following us.........

This weekend we will be again at Spoon River Drive in Farmington, Il @ Farmington West under the Big Tent.
