I Pledge Allegiance To The Flag

Of The United States Of America And To The Republic For Which It Stands

One Nation Under God, Indivisible, With Liberty And Justice For All

~ Happy Fourth Of July ~

~ Happy Birthday America ~

This past weekend I had the pleasure of helping my sweet friend Tricia set-up at the Red Barn in Round Top!  Not sure if it could have gotten much hotter on Friday, but sweating and giggling seemed to be a winning combo!

I have lots of pictures to show you….but I’m starting with the ever talented Meloney of The Seed Box Antiques!  Remember Meloney?  She’s the one married to Seth…I mean Brian!

She’s making darling embellished totes and you know how I feel about totes!

Cute, huh?  She makes them in several sizes, but you know me, bigger IS better! 

You’ll be shocked to know I didn’t even keep this…it wasn’t easy, but it’s on its way to my sister-in-law who is having a birthday on Friday!  Gee, I sure hope she’s not reading this post…yikes!

In other news….it’s a Happy Day at SweetTalk cuz we have a winner in the Birthday Package give-away…..

MINDY!  Hey girl, start watching your mailbox cuz SweetTalk is sending you some happy mail!

She’s headed to Vegas for vacation….looks like she’s got luck on her side!  Thanks Mindy and everyone who reads my posts and leaves comments….means bunches to me!

Tomorrow I’ll be sending out the July SweetTalk email Newsletter announcing the next give-away and MuCH mOrE!  Be sure to sign up!  And…..as always…..leave comments on any of my posts!  Every time you do that I enter your name.  EASY!

it’s not Friday! 

I have no clue what happened to the last week!  It wasn’t exceptionally busy, I wasn’t traveling…..I just gave up!  No subject was hitting me, time got away and here it is (almost) Friday again!  que sera sera!

Do you know what this number belongs too?

How ’bout these?

Do you suppose they fit into my favorite category…..not-the-size-it’s-suppose-to-be?  Quite possibly!

First, there was rearranging to do.  And like I don’t have an ounce of common sense, the need to move furniture struck me as I was getting ready for the pool party a few weeks ago.  ugh.  Sometimes I worry about myself……….and with good reason!

Remember the church pew?

Well, I moved it out of the entry.

Remember this table?  (More *questionable timing*!)

I moved it where the churh pew was.  Which is the place I enjoy it most…..it’s still a work in progress!  I added the *please seat yourself* sign so when our guests entered the front door there would be no confusion!  The “hostess” was officially up to her eyeballs in other duties!

That freed up some wall space where the entry table had been!  I love it when that happens!

I have always had a THING for old survey sticks!  I’ve never had a good place to display them….until now!  I had two and I took them apart.  Then I added in my not-the-size-it’s-suppose-to-be slide ruler which has been sitting in a closet for years! 

Superfun when something just happens!

The husband even commented….sorta….he said he likes the open space there now….no surprise he didn’t have much to say about the ~ART~! 

It’s tough living with the uneducated! *sigh*

Okey-dokey….I will be seeing you at The Big Red Barn Show on June 26 & 27…..right?  I’ll be there helping my friend, Tricia.  I can hardly wait!  Speaking of….check out this post….I cried!

And you know, well in case you don’t, that cutie-patootie Theresa will be setting up too!  Between these two girlies I will be doing some serious Ironstone drooling!

Oh yeah, and that cute guurrrl Mindy is having a dress-up day at Primitiques this Saturday!  I can’t make it, but I would sure love it if you went and took a bunch a pictures so I can see everything I missed!

Then there’s the SweetTalk Birthday Package Give-Away this month!  Good golly, I know you know the drill by now…..leave a comment and I’ll enter your name!
