Breakfast At Rachel Ashwells B & B

While in Texas I told you guys I got to take a tour of Rachel Ashwells B & B. It was rainy and cloudy that day, but everything was just lovely!

This is a bunkhouse, slash where you take you meals, slash all around guest hangout! Let me tell you, I would be happy to hang out there for a few hours. The interior is so laid back and comfy looking, but after all that's what Rachel is all about! With out further to do, sit back and enjoy the tour.

Hide That Black Box

Please excuse the fact I don't have any floors or baseboards installed yet! I'm am still in the purging mood and have gotten rid of tons of smalls and large furniture. I've moved several things around and created a new place for the TV to rest! I'm lucky enough to have a WHITE flat screen TV, but I still have that ugly black cable box! My solution for trying to hide it, is some large black leather bond books. I think it works pretty good, what do you think?

I'm linking up with Kathleen's WW today!

Great Brimfield Show

Happy to report we had a great show in Brimfield! We sold 85% of our load! Yeah! I want to thank all our loyal customers who came out to support us, without you guys we wouldn't be able to stay in business! We did have some famous names come through and buy, JCrew and Tommy Hilfiger! I also sold to a designer in Ireland! It is so exciting when big names come through and make a purchase!


It was a real pleasure seeing all our friends! We had an all around great time while we were there!


Hope you enjoy the booth pictures! We only have two days to set in Brimfield, verses 4 days in Texas, so my display are put together really fast! And we don't take the time to put up any walls!

Were Home!

Thank goodness! We had a great trip, great sales and some great visits with all our friends. Pictures tomorrow, got a baby shower today for my oldest daughter! Stay tuned!

It's Brimfield Time!

I can't believe it's already Brimfield time!

Seems like we just got back from Texas!

We didn't get all our project finished, but we have a truck load!

Can you believe I bought this green cupboard?

I couldn't pass it up! Love the white on the inside.

Have some more wood pieces as well, but they got loaded before I could snap a picture! 

If you are gonna be in Brimfield, be sure to come see us!

We are set up at the
New England Motel

Booth 112B

It's right on the main road that leads to the parking lot!

The show starts Wed., May 11th at 6:00 am

Yes, people really do shop that early!

This is a sample of a few things we will have to offer!

Miss Lillie Talks

Miss Lillie loves when you talk to her. She tries her best to talk back! And she smiles all the time. She is a very happy baby! I can't help myself every time she's around I have to snap a few photos!
I hope I don't bore you with these pictures!

Look at that face! What can be more precious?

She is our angel! Boogers and all!

Thankfully We Escaped

I went to church last night and while in church I had my phone on silent. When church was over and I got in the car the first thing I did was check my phone. I had several missed calls and a bone chilling text from Craig that said a TORNADO just passed over the top of our house! I immediately started to shake in my shoes! I called Craig and was terrified of what he would have to report! 


He watched the tornado come across the field where these building were destroyed. It is our county fair grounds. It was a large wedge tornado. He watched from the front porch until the wind was so great he had to go inside. He said the tornado was on a straight path for our house. He gathered the dogs and they went to the bathroom. He said he never heard a noise like this in his life, he said it was like a train on top of the house. While in the bathroom he said the whole house shook, vibrated and made loud cracking noises. He said he expected the house to lift off the ground at any second! But it held strong!


Just a few hundred yards from our house the TORNADO lifted off the ground and passed right above our roof! As Craig went outside he said he expected the roof to be completely gone, but it was still there! God was defiantly watching over us! We had a few minor things damaged, but nothing we can't fix ourselves!


These photos are of the fair grounds right across the road from us.

This is the house at the end of our street.

It blew our RV off the blocks and turned it about 3ft.

Thought this was odd! Lifted this glass out of the table and gently placed it on the floor of the deck without breaking it! Most of the damage was under the porch.
