Are you ready for SPRING... I am!!

Hello All...


  This will be a long post as I haven't posted in a very LONG time...  Hope you are all well and looking forward to a beautiful spring and summer.. my favorite time of the year..






It was a beautiful Fall in the Country..



Many new varieties of Pumpkins, gourds and Squashes were available... and next year there will be even more!!!













.... The Colors were amazing and the weather was perfect .. and the Barn Sale events in September and October were so much fun...  The Holiday Shoppes at the NY State Fairgrounds sponsored by the Jr. League was a Great Event.

 The Jr. League Holiday Shoppes, held in Nov. at the Syracuse Fairgrounds was a huge success again this year.. So great to see so many customers...


Then in mid December and I  was  loving the mild weather we had been having.. Every day that it didn't  snow was a bonus for me.. the older I get the less I like the cold !!!


Spent Christmas with our Son, Jed and Family...
Christmas Day with our grandkids in Maine...

 on the Beach without coats!!!

  I left Home Mid January to escape the cold and snow ( little did I know it would snow in April) Driving to Florida with stops in  South Port, Savannah, Ga.

  Spent a week on the beach with my college friends.. we were Freshman 40 years ago, though time has marched on , our friendship  has not missed a step..
 
Ginny, Judi, Margaret and Karen

A trip to Florida would not be complete without spending time with my sister, Kathy  and her husband, Dave .. and were really lucky that my brother, Tom was also in Florida..


 After spending 10 weeks away, spending time with friends and family in Florida, then traveling across the country with my husband. Driving through 19 states, visiting many state parks, going to numerous antique shop, and
 Vintage  Marketplace
Magnolia Market
Vintage  Markets including Mt. Dora in Florida, ( with Beth)  The Vintage Marketplace in Temecula , Ca.  and Round Top, Tx,  With a stop in Waco, Tx to visit Magnolia Market owned by Chip and Joanna Gaines of Fixer Upper and in Round Top going to The Junk Gypsy's Shop , I am home and READY to get back to what I love most.. getting ready for my next BARN SALE which will be in June.. date TBA in May.

Though we had a few bumps along the way, we had a wonderful trip.. canoeing in the Everglades, Camping in the Keys, Driving through the Desert, visit wineries in New Mexico and Arizona and California.. seeing countless sunrises and sunsets




and visiting our son in San Diego ( which was our MAIN reason for the trip) ..We certainly saw a lot of our beautiful country. 







My website.. www.thevintageroomny.com has been up running for just a year now..  I will be adding more items in the next couple weeks... Thank you to all who has supported me through my journey and for all the positive feedback you have given me..

 I value each of you and feel very blessed to be able to do what I love!!!


  Hugs,   Colleen
