As promised...and my booth

the other gorgeous vintage card I found while antiquing
{see post below this one for a pink rose card}
{These cards are cardboard and measure
approx. 5 inches x 6 inches}
The perfect size to tuck into a vignette.

I have taken the *plunge* again and am
expanding to a larger booth at the antique
mall. I was tossing around the idea for the past few days
because you can only get so much stuff into a 4 foot x 6 foot
area. I emailed the owner and immediately got a phone call
and she told me she had the perfect booth for me.
It will be on the main aisle and I am so looking forward
to a larger booth. I will also enjoy the hunt for
more stuff to fill it up. Moving day is around April 1.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead. We will be on R and R again, but I will
try to check in every so often.

Almost forgot to tell you that I hit the jackpot
at the Goodwill yesterday. Got two silver pieces,
a chenille spread, two pillows, brand new white battenburg
duvet {still in package} , two candles, and a couple
other goodies. The pillows , spread and duvet were 1/2 off too!

I rarely find anything anymore so I was
a happy camper. In fact, I was in the dressing room
keeping a close eye on my cart through the slats in the door
{ I know I know...pretty obsessive huh}
when someone came in and yelled, "Is this someone's cart out here
with the white blanket {chenille spread} and I said, "Yes".
To which she replied, "OH SHOOT...then I won't root through it.
LOL

Blessings~

Your blog is so pretty and these cards are amazing. I've looked back over several posts and each one is more beautiful than the last.
The scripture verses are such a blessing too.

The scripture cards are *gorgeous*! I wish I could find more of them...decorating with a purpose, you know...oh, and more *fun* at the antique mall...I guess this means it's going well? HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY! I can't believe I've been reading and we've been chatting for over a year:)

Great news, you'll be a busy lady, filling that booth. And what good luck with the Goodwill. I too have not found any jackpots lately, maybe I'm just getting too picky.
