Washington Street Spring Show

Naperville - Illinois

 Sooooo appreciative of ALL my regular "shabby-shoppers"

 who sought me out "FIRST" in a MAZE of disconnected rooms!!!

So much work goes on behind the scenes!!!

My day started with a 5am Load-In,

which was intense!!!  - Dealing with Stairs in my area & then loading a cart

to pull down a LONG Hallway to my booth space...  What a work-out!!!

I had a lovely spot for my booth ~ but after the first few hours - in this area,

unfortunately the foot traffic was slim!  Could it have been the fab weather outside???

Were people not finding this room in the building???  

Before I knew it - it was 6 hours later since the doors opened, -  time to Pack-It-Up!!!

ANOTHER Work Out!!!  ~ Then the 2-1/2 hour drive home...

A Big Thank YOU to all of you who SHoPPed My SHaBBies!*!*!
