Hello, friend! I’ve been visiting with my son and daughter and thought I’d share some photos. Both Andrew and Betsy and her family have purchased new homes this spring and they are rightfully, very excited! After I share some photos, I’d like to share some food for thought, that you might find useful too. The grand tour and road trip began at Andrew and James’ place, outside of Washington D.C. I hadn’t been with James in six months and it was wonderful to see how much he has grown! The after bath picture above is James noticing the new family pictures Andrew…

Dear diary… I’m sorry I haven’t written in forever, but this new retired life is very strange! But wonderful! I’ve also asked myself why would anyone else want to know what former shop owners do, when they “go out to pasture”! So here’s the deal… somewhere here, probably at the bottom of the page, is an “unsubscribe” option and I won’t feel bad if you decide it’s time for us to part ways. 🙂 _________ March 1st, I became a vendor at the Antique Trove. Cheryl made the fancy QR code for me, so you can link to my Instagram page…

Hello, gorgeous! Well, here we are! It’s our last full week, today through Saturday, that we’re open for business. A few years ago, Cheryl took the lead, at the shop; a truly brilliant woman, friend and mentor. Darlene has been our fashionista, always so good at helping you find the right outfits! These women have my heart. This is Linda, with Daisy, when she was a puppy and Darlene. If I could choose family, beyond my own, I’d choose these women! Life after the shop, we’ll continue to be family for many years, I hope! I spent time at the shop today, in preparation…

Hello, gorgeous! I’ve been saving some vintage pieces, in our storage room, but reality is slowly sinking in. The fact is, I love my collection of old treasures. Some of them are almost like family! But even family knows when it’s time to find their forever home. So, here we are. A month into our Retirement Sale and the end is near. We’ve got quite a few vintage/antique pieces, that I need to find good homes for. It’s almost like being a foster mom and so easy to lose sight of my ultimate goal…finding space for my next chapter.…
