    So glad you're going to have doings in the spring!! Wish I could have stayed longer but I'll for sure be back in the Spring with girlfriends. You did an amazing job on staging the barn with your beautiful treasures. I wore the velvet coat to see Ghost at Shea's Theater last week and got a lot of compliments...so glad I got it.

    WHAT??? I missed it...and so close to home! Finally something for us East coasters to attend.
    I've met Vicki before in Bouckville and she always has great stuff.
    Can't wait for spring and we haven't even turned our clocks back yet! Your barn is beautiful.
