Loving What I Do

  New display in the fireplace.....

OK, ya gotta love a job where you get to shop all the time,

make cute displays, work with family, meet tons of nice people,

 learn about old things, and give them a new life.

Perfect job. Right?

  Even tho' there are always wrinkles to iron out,  with the help of my sweet fella,

my granddaughter, and my Mom, we manage to muddle thru it all.

  I gather, my husband picks up big loot, my Mom helps clean all the 'stuff',

 (and does lots of other 'jobs'),

 and my granddaughter watches the store for me when I cannot.

 (and helps keep the place clean). =)

We are a team...we work well together, and the work is fun,

 because we are doing it together.

I am blessed, to have the store, to hang out with family,

 and to meet other people when they come in.

Sometimes they come to shop, other times just to visit, or get a hug.

It is a wonderful little world, and I am grateful

 to the Lord for each day I get to enjoy it.

Joining these parties...

 Since I rarely have time to post any more,

so today will just be some pics, and a few words, about yesterday's finds.

Yes, I said yesterday's.

and this is not all of them. =)

top pic: some of the loot we picked up down the road a bit.

Great rusty stuff....

 here is another 'pile' of loot.

Love that green.

  I buy globes whenever I can find, and afford them.

This dark blue one is quite different than I have seen before.

and very art deco base too.

 

and red, another fave color.

and rusty wheels with spokes. lovin' it.

it's from the 60's.

Come back later and I'll tell you. =)

be blessed, and thanks for coming by.
