Doors Opening

So much is going on lately, it's very exciting!  I should be becoming a great aunt today for the - let's see - 7th time.  We've got a very big, always growing and changing family. Good luck and best wishes to Melissa and Allen!  Can't wait to meet your new baby boy! 

Next, big things are happening with "A Place for Everything."   Bernadette and I started this together over a year ago and it's been slow.  We live enough of a distance apart that it makes it difficult to actually "be" together often - whether it be to talk about marketing or  new ideas, etc.  So we realized that we need to do this together, but separately.  Does that make any sense?  We will be creating new business cards, each with the name "A Place for Everything" on it, but with only our own name and number on it.  No riff, no business disagreement - just time and distance separating us.  We can and will do organizing jobs together - but we each have our own specialties. I love painting furniture - whether it be pieces I have on hand or custom painting for a new customer, and Bernadette also does furniture and has a beautiful hand and eye for custom signs.

Aren't they beautiful!!!  She's in high demand with these signs.  And I might add that she does an awesome job with furniture as well.  Bernadette just completed her own dining room set.  She painted her dining table and chairs and reupholstered the seats.

 



I don't have a picture of the seats yet to post... I'll get back to you on that.

Things are changing for the better!  If you don't already know of it, there is a fabulous boutique in Newburyport called Vintage Chic Boutique where we like to go and get our inspiration and Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.  We've become regulars there.  The owner, Kim Wilson, is such a sweetheart and does such a wonderful job there.  We've become very friendly with her and have gotten to know her well enough that she asked us to do "The Vintage Bazaar" with her - yet another new thing!  The Vintage Bazaar will be on September 21st and 22nd and will have over 100 vendors and artists there from I think it is 10 different states!  How cool is that?!  I'm so excited!  It's at Pettengill Farm in Salisbury.  You don't want to miss this! 

That's all for now, gotta run - working at Olde Towne Hall Antiques this morning!  Hope to see you there!
