He must really love me.... 'cause he hasn't had me committed yet!


Remember the WHOPPER I pulled on him last month before Sand Point?
Oops.
I did it again. (my apologies to Ms. Spears)

This afternoon, I was digging thru bins in my barn sorting and organizing small products for Farm Chicks, and I glanced over at a stack of bins poised for a restock of our space at Poppyseeds. And I thought 'That's a lot of stuff. How am I going to fit that IN there?' Of course my next thought was 'Their Swap Meet event is tomorrow.... I could sell a bunch of the stuff that I'm tired of, stuff that's been in there awhile... and then all this will fit!'

So, I called dear Mr. Bob over and asked him if he would mind me spending six hours of my day tomorrow sitting outside at the Swap Meet if it meant I would be a) making money and b) getting rid of stuff we are kind of tired of looking at. Dear friends, he gave me THAT LOOK again. That 'She has really gone 'round the bend this time' look. Admittedly, it only flashed across his face for an inkling of a second before he smiled and said 'Let's do it!' I love his enthusiasm - even if he really thinks I need to be committed for being such an impulsive chick, he always backs me up. (Tho it IS true that almost all of our last-minute ideas pan out big time!)

Within an hour we had the truck loaded, were at the shop, and I went to town with a total reset of our room. Out came a bunch of stuff, in went the new, and tomorrow we'll set up a little vignette outside with some cute vintage style! (check here for details) I'll be sitting in the sunshine, reading and chatting and selling, of course, while Mr. Bob blares his shop radio and cranks out a few more marvels of ingenius design.

Ahhhhhhhh....NOW I get why he thought this was a good idea: A day away from his crazy wife! ;0) If you come to Stanwood tomorrow, stop by Poppyseeds and say hello! (And don't forget the antique street fair in Snohomish on Saturday, too!)
