Forgive me dear Friend's for disappearing - I had some old health issues that raised up the last few months so I had to take the time to recover. I admit that this time as I get older it is harder to recover quickly.<br />
<br />
I have been off line and upon getting into my email account I was so amazed to find emails from dear fellow bloggers asking what happened to me, where was I? Please know that I am so grateful, so grateful....that tears want to start just thinking of your thoughtfulness!<br />
<br />
I have been Blessed that Gary and Charlie have been selling my items at the Nashville Flea market and my store that Charlie and I have. As an update I am able to keep my flea market love going with Gary's work but Charlie and I decided the store is too much for me now. So we will be closing up the store. I am very Grateful to have such wonderful guy freinds/pals! Thank you with all my heart Gary and you Charlie. <br />
<br />
Hope to have my strength up soon to be getting back to work. As Being so sick is sooooo boring! Patience I am learning...hard lesson to rest for this old gal (huge grin)<br />
Cheers, love, blessings to you all!<br />

</tbody></table>Business is super duper slow right now with what is going on after the Historic Floods in Nashville so I spent my time at my Brick Store "HILLS CHAPEL ANTIQUES" moving and changing huge to small pieces of furniture. I am sure anyone with a store knows and does that kind of work. <br />
Change one thing and you end up moving so many other items. Heavy items, so needless to say I am so sore today. When oh when will I learn? .....probably never (HUGE GRIN)<br />
<br />
So off to making another antique bed bench. All the time wishing I made small stuff.<br />
Cheers, Blessings PLUS Happy Selling and Hunting to fellow dealers!<br />

<br />
I am also looking forward to this weekend shopping.... a New antique store is about to have a Grand Openings in my area of Nolensville. I could use some fun- after this past week of flooding rain. <br />
<br />
I am still working on <u>Dog Tornado Training</u> in a closet.<br />
<br />
I have trained them to <u>immediately</u> come running after me with a certain call I give for a tornado about to touch down. <br />
Gives me some peace of mind during an emergency! I would rather loose my stuff than my dogs.<br />
Here is a pic....granted a terrible one... of all three of my rescued dogs in mom's (me) packed closet looking at me. <br />

Shiloh is the pup of the bunch. Starved by a farmer so I removed her. I was going to try and find her a new home but fell in love with her.<br />
Chelsea my mixed hound found me. Someone had taken a base ball bat to her. She recovered. She has a sour look on her face in the picture waiting for her reward as I was making them wait.<br />
Charlie the Maltese someone dumped, I kept him because he is such a joyful little guy.<br />
Cheers from my family!<br />

Our home only had slight damage from this weekends storms. 13 inches of rain in two days, never saw anything like it. <br />
Elect power and INTERNET was lost after a scary lightning storm. Only flooding I had was into my converted three car garage and my stand alone garage.<br />
I was so Blessed that was the extent of the damage along with my drive way. My neighborhood flooded two houses down! Along with huge downed trees. <br />
Here is a link from UTube that shows the major highway I 24 and the flooding. <br />
this link shows the house floating down the freeway and crashing from cbs news I think.<br />

Gary one of my partners had gone up to Green Hills <strong>and this is his route to get back.</strong> I called him on his cell phone and told him why he was stuck in traffic. He had no clue. He managed to turn around after sitting 4 hours in that backed up traffic.<br />
<br />
With so many tornado touch downs and warnings it dawned on my that my baby Shiloh (the black dog) is new and I had not trained her as of yet- to follow me into the only safe place which is my closet. With cookies, my camera, plus my cell phone during one of the tornado take cover warnings we went in and practiced. Here they are are looking at me....now what??!! I have them sit/stay for at least 15 mins.<br />

</tbody></table>The brown one is Chelsea, have had her for 8 years now. A rescue dog that was beaten terrible. The small white one is Charlie the Maltese that was dumped and made it to my house and Shiloh the black dog that I removed. Her story is on the side page if you want to read it.<br />
<br />
The devastation up in different area's -heart breaking and there are still rescues (people trapped in their homes) going on as I type this. So many deaths that it is upsetting to be typing this. We are going up tomorrow to help out with the Red Cross. <br />
<br />
So to my Friends and family, I am posting from my Verizon cell phone and hope to have home internet back soon.<br />
Lots of love and hugs,<br />

<br />
Sure enough...there is mine and Charlie's booth in picture #6 and #7. HOW FUN is that?!! I loved all the extra pictures she took of other spaces as I just did not have time. <br />
What can I say other than I was tickled to death that someone liked our booths enough to take pics! <br />

Going into my stash barn yesterday I found some Antique/ Vintage Mothers Day Motto's. When my mother passed on a few years ago I put them away, as memories were- at the time just too painful. Time to let them go and with Mother's Day (May 10th) next month I am taking them to the Nashville April Flea market. Thought I would share them with you all first.<br />

What an awesome Saturday! The sun was out and lots of customers. Arrived early to bring fresh items into the store and Load for the upcoming Nashville Flea Market. Ugggg to the loading BUT I love love love Flea Markets. <br />
<br />
Jane a wonderful fellow dealer who loves primitives stopped by my store. She spotted a huge farm antique display cabinet we had just (20 minutes before) loaded for the Nashville show. Explained that she was opening an antique store down the road in the town of Nolenville would it be possible to see the cabinet? Of course she can try to see it I reply (thinking oh my....that trailer is jammed and it was the first item loaded).<br />
She decided she just had to have the cabinet for her grand opening held this May. Wonderful old crackly alligator black paint. If you love iron stone she has a nice stash for sale.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I have always loved glitz and glam. Since the 1970's (dating myself) I loved dressing different. I wore my huge rhinestone broaches way back then...wore them during the day no less which was Not proper I would just laugh and wear them anyway. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Back then I would buy broken necklace's and such and one day in the late 1990's after leaving the Restaurant Business (the Sans Souci Carmel California) I had some time on my hands and I needed a lamp shade for a glass antique table lamp. Ah, I have an old naked wire clamp on shade that someone was going to throw into the trash. Here is what I came up with. Sorta funky but I love it!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I am always looking for new "easier/better ways" to travel to the antique/flea Shows <em>as I need comfort- which translates to all my favorite stuff. </em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I was wondering with all the travel to shows either as a buyer or seller how Do y'all manage?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Since I am asking I'll share what I came up with.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Long ago (15 years ago) I started off with a very temperamental OLD 19 foot motor home. While it had all I needed and pulled all my goodies stuffed into a 12 foot trailer. <em>Not enough room I found out real fast.</em> PLUS My transmission went out on a trip, told myself that will never happen to me again...Sooooo</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I sold the old motor home ...buying the below vintage retro 1962 trailer on eBay. Fixed it up real cute in fun retro turquoise pulled it with my long bed pickup truck. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<table style="width: auto;"><tbody>
<tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/OSk4GEIW4Xz-bVYBTnJp4Q?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_OMFK39CgYVQ/SwltOhg0wFI/AAAAAAAACQc/zPdYuXPj6tY/s400/shasta%2016%20foot.jpg" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: right;"></td></tr>
</tbody></table><span style="font-size: large;">Stuffing items into the 12 foot camper trailer and the back end of the truck. <strong>Drats...still too small!</strong> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So I sold my retro aqua baby and with the profit from that work...bought myself my real dream a 1972 Airstream 25 feet long. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<table style="width: auto;"><tbody>
<tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/spRXPoPigKBWVVnrxqNO7w?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_OMFK39CgYVQ/SqJm02AwsII/AAAAAAAABpI/vEwp2lOLNgs/s400/airstreamatlanta2.jpg" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: right;"></td></tr>
</tbody></table><span style="font-size: large;">Packing all the antique/vintage furniture to sell in Atlanta- such as beds, smalls and such inside the Airstream...holds tons of goodies! Then the larger items such as dressers, tables and such on to the truck bed. It is a 3/4 ton truck with a long bed.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Only pain in the bum - I must get the Airsteam unloaded right away. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So far its been worth it- as I then have <em>my</em> own bed, <em>my</em> sheets and blankets (especially after watching that show on 60 minutes) refrigerator packed with food- saves a lot of money not eating out. My own bathroom. And outfitted with a generator to work the air conditioner if I don't have an elect socket to plug into. Must have air conditioners in the South!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh...and a closet large enough to take all the clothes and other stuff I might need.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">OK... I am guilty of wanting it all. I am the fist to admit I am very much Like a princess and a pea in her bed. I won't share here the lengths I go to with my bedding. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I am closer to having the inside finished ...Gypsy style thanks to my love of Magnolia Pearl of Texas </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Below is a picture of the front sofa, under the large front window. I sit to watch TV and read. The colors I am using.. Aqua's, rich pinks to rich purples with some copper thrown in. All from estate sales etc. Working on this baby since 2009 when I bought her. Fun! I would put antique lace at the windows...alas my dog family travels with me, so no lace. Here is one of my girls, Chelsea.</span><br />

This week we are doing things a bit different. Usually Charlie, Gary and I have our Brick Store "Hills Chapel Antiques" in Nashville open during the Nashville Flea Market. Charlie and Gary get to do the Flea Market while I have the store open. Needless to say of course while I love our store- the outdoors is where I want to be. So this month we are All going to be at the Nashville Flea Market and close our store for this week.<br />
<br />
I checked the weather for this weekend in Nashville and they say the sun will be out this Saturday! So looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend! <strong>We are outside under the white canopy. </strong><br />
<strong>Here is a picture from last month</strong><br />

My brick store in Nashville is open this week Wednesday Thur Saturday Noon till PM and we are also getting ready for another Nashville Flea Weekend this March 26 Thur March 28.<br />
<br />
It has been such a busy week. One of my projects is just about finished. An antique old bed no one wanted ..except for me of course. It is one of those old ones that is just about unusable nowadays as it is what is known as a three quarters size bed. Bigger than a twin but smaller than a full size bed. So I made a bench.<br />
Here it is just about done.<br />

Good Morning!<br />
Yesterday was set up day for the dealers at the Nashville Fair Grounds for the March Flea. Here is a picture of my canopy/ space... 1/2 of the way set up. A few of you wrote to tell me to do a banner with my name or logo. You are so correct as it so needs something! <br />
I am thinking of buying some canvas and making something, alas my art work is slim to none nowadays. <br />

This set has the best roses and a pair of baby bird carvings on the top along with really pretty inlays. The carvings on the bottom remind me of scalloped lace. Huge sigh!<br />

My mind is full as usual with the Nashville Tn. Fair Gounds Flea Market coming up the end of this month. So many things to get done, let alone packing. <strong>The show this month is February 26th to February 28th.</strong> I usually take a lot of furniture but this time I am also taking some sweet pottery.<br />

</tbody></table>I have been racking my brain trying to come up with something for that white canopy I use at the market. Lace border along the edging? No, as I so dislike the thought of antique lace getting dirty. Ok...I admit Laundry is not one of my things I like to do. So what to do?? I like unique and different from what everyone else is doing. Huge sigh, a blank mind in just what to do! <br />

Antiques & Vintage some Reasons why we Collect them, Love them, buy and sell them.<br />
<br />
People collect antiques for many different reasons & there are a lot of different views as to why. Here a few of my thoughts & if you would please ….let me know why or how you started. Myself I am a combo of all of the below.<br />
<br />
1. I find it interesting that in my store I have met a lot of people that love restoring old pieces, not so much so that they could sell it for more but simply because they gained satisfaction from doing so. Here is a before picture and after picture that I thought was fun. A old iron & wood bench glider from the 1930’s a customer finished. He was kind enough to send me before and after pictures. <br />

</tbody></table>2. People wanting to furnish their home- look for antiques. Antiques of different time periods -different Era’s often look fantastic together to create a beautiful home. My home is a mixture of French, Italian and Cottage old farm painted items. And of course a main love of mine…chandeliers as to me they are the jewelry of the room. <br />

3. Antique lovers who enjoy the chase more than anything. They enjoy searching through stores and antique shops all over the country searching for that specific or unusual item they been looking for. I love watching a couple enter my store and have the man or women call loudly across the room with excitement…<strong>honey I found it!</strong> Myself I love the Thrill of the hunt<strong>.</strong> That heart pounding moment when you spot something that makes your heart go pitty pat. <br />
<br />
4. During the fall I had the pleasure of meeting mother daughter shoppers in my store. They were into buying dressers and beds for their daughter’s collage dorm rooms. Feathering their daughters nest away from home is what I called it. Here is one of my favorite beds I sold and I still Miss that bed. Huge sigh!<br />

Taking a break from working on my antique chandeliers and switching to work on vintage antique desks. <br />
This old pine roll up one I cannot decide if I want to paint or just add a wax finish to it. I am thinking of just waxing to bring out the old pine that is so popular in the West Coast. What do you think? Any suggestions?<br />
