Me and the kids

Me and the kids...

HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY

I picked this picture because it reminded me of my grandma "buzzy"...when I was little my grandma is the only one that called me Colleen. 

The name on my birth certificate is Mary Margaret Colleen.

My grandma's maiden name was Fitzgerald...she was the baby of 12...raised by her four older sisters after her parents passed away.

She was a character and proud to be IRISH!

She's been gone 20 years now and I miss her...she spoiled me rotten!

Tuesday Tip

Here is a tip I sent into the VMTeam blogs Tuesday Tip series:

Don't you hate it when you find a great buy and the price is written on it in permanent marker?!

Here is the solution:

Put some hand sanitizer on the permanent marker and let sit until you see the ink begin to dissolve.

Wipe the hand sanitizer off and repeat if necessary.

My New Space

A month ago I rented my first space ever! 

It's one room upstairs at Antiques Galore in Kimmswick, MO.

These pictures were taken before I officially opened on February 1st. 

 I've been adding more and more each week so it's alot fuller now.

 I've even had a few sales! 

The dormer ceilings have been a challenge but I'm finding more and more creative ways to display things.

Thanks Connie for the opportunity and for all of your help.  I'm learning so much and having a great time.  It's great to have someone to go hunting for treasures with!
