Quandary......

Quandary.....

n. A state of hesitation or perplexity; predicament.  


I started blogging back in November and this is my 99th post.......I have 97 followers......

Didn't want to just do any old 99th post........thought it would be fun to have 100 followers for my 100th post......maybe a giveaway?  Well I tried that before and only 11 people entered and my Mom won.....

Sigh.....

I know silly me!

On to more important matters....
Still working on the Open House and Boutique.....September 11th at my house....Gulp.....

10 days....



Mr. Smith finally hung my brass chandelier up for my display!


Mr. Smith painted and installed my White kitchen cabinet so I could load it up with my goodies for sale!

My fabulous birdcages on top of the black library table that Mr.Smith painted black.
I love the white rusty "McMansion" one!

Snow White all curled up on top of pillows and a blanket-she has is so rough here!

Oh and don't look at the crooked pictures in the back or the coke can waiting to be put in the recycled bin!

I have 10 days to clean up the house and get my friends moved in with their goodies to sell! 

Oh and I'm moving! 

Yep!  Got a new space at the Oregon Street Antiques Mall.....I have 2 walls and a window plus more foot traffic! 


So if anyone is reading, please give me some feedback on what I should do for my 100th post!  Fellow bloggers-has anyone else had this problem? 


Joining Kathleen at Faded Charm for White Wednesday!

  10. Well congrats on 100! I think you are right how one bad person can ruin your day, but I really try and keep a good attitude, but sometimes it's the bad attitudes that win :) I'm sure you'll think of something great. Many congrats.

  11. Since I can not be there in person, the least I can do is follow. Please take pictures during your party and share with those of us miles and miles away.

  12. Hello my new friend! Thanks for visiting me....we seem to have a lot in common, although I've never hosted an open house/antique sale in my home. Gosh almighty....that's a lot of work! Your blog is great, I'm bookmarking it. Love your little dog too!

  13. hi! read your profile and knew right away that we would "click" (loving David Cook and Twilight series!) :-)
    I totally sympathize w/ the "open house" - had them for 16 yrs on weekend before Thanksgiving (and this when I had a full time "big girl's job") - loads of fun, made lots of $$, but TONS of work!
    Love your blog and wish NH was closer to CA so I could come and enjoy the fruits of your labor - looking great so far!
    best wishes -
