The HOLiDays *2020*...

The HoLiDays, like everything else, is going to be different "THIS YEAR"...  

Yet ANOTHER *Sad-To-Say*

I will NOT be selling my SHaBBies at any Christmas HoLiDay Shows This Year...  Here in Wisconsin/Illinois,  as we're still dealing with the Covid VIRUS,  I just don't feel safe SELLING INSIDE, -Or- for that matter - staying over nite in a Hotel.   I ~S*H*O*P~  ALL YEAR for these Holiday shows!  With too few Flea Markets & other Speciality Events this past Spring/Summer ~  I just don't have the Stock I would have had at this time of year either...   I loved these festive shows ~ seeing my customers, and  *JuMp-STaRting the HoLiDay SpiRiT*.

~ In the meantime, do visit my Social Media Sites for Random Posts/Updates ~

It's ~*ALmoSt CHriStMaS*~...

 Out & About Early This Morning, tiny

Snow Flakes started to create a dusting effect 

in nooks and crannies on our property...

Boots On... Ski Poles in hand down a slippery hill,

I headed toward my Frog-Husband's stacked wood pile

in search of some ~*Birch-Logs*~ to fill my

later in the day appeared like

wilted by morning...

**All The MaJoR B*L*I*N*G ImPaCt**
I put every one of my trees out this year!!!

There's just something about V*I*N*T*A*G*E  that makes them so special!!!
Each One Tells-A-SToRy...
Character, Patina, Imperfections, Time period,
 Whose table has it been on,  Where did they live,
 What store was it purchased in, etc...
AND then there's "my story" of where I netted it as well...

It's such a plus finding Vintage Bottle Brush Trees 
STILL WITH THEIR ORIGINAL LABEL!*!*!
It also drives the price up...
Made-In-Japan, Napco Co.,
& Original Store Price Sticker is *~My FaVoRiTe~*

I search all year long for
 Vintage BiRdiE STRING LIGHTS!!!
Since my tree is white, & their electric cording was green,
I opted "To Just Hang Them" without the lights...
