Has it really been a year since my last post??? It has been a Good Year.. though there has been changes .. One thing remains the same... I Love what I do.. and continue to do it with passion and excitement...
As my Elegant Barn Sale Business grows, I find myself putting more energy into that and only did 2 other shows last year... Holiday Shoppe's (Jr. League) at the NY Fairgrounds in November.. and will do that again this year.. the Dates for that show are Nov. 14-16 and Antique Week in BOUCKVILLE .. which was last month... I just want to Thank everyone who searched me out.. I so appreciate YOU.. It was a record year for me and was wonderful to see so many old FRIENDS and meet so many who have the same love for Romantic Vintage as I do.. AND I am excited that I will be expanding my space next year.. same spot just more space!!! and hopefully electricity so I can have those chandeliers lit and maybe a fan..as this was a warm year ( I am not complaining.. the weather was just about PERFECT for me..) So if you haven't been you should PLAN a trip for next year.. It is a great show and I am in the BEST field .. Butternut Hill..
Thanks to my son, Jeremy, I now have a beautiful website.. www.thevintageroomny.com, which he set up for me a few months ago.. so check it out.. he did am amazing job and keeps it updated with my " NEWS and Events", a link to my Face Book page, and the STORE.. I have had a great response to it and through it I am able to send out " Shout Outs" I would love for you to sign up with your email address..
The next exciting news is that my husband, Tim, who is my biggest supporter ..retired in June after teaching High School Science at the same public School for 30 years.. and we are excited for this new chapter.. especially since last winter I bought a 1968 Scotty Hi Lander Canned Ham.. which needs to be totally renovated but hopefully by next summer we can take it "ON THE ROAD"..
( might even have it at Bouckville).. a GLAMPING we will go!!!!
