THE SHOW AND AFTER

Created By My Colonial Home

Morning everyone!
Well it's Tuesday already and things still look like a store in here...lol

We decided to leave things up until Sunday when we'll pack everything up.

I was going to re-take pictures because my first batch before the show turned out somewhat blurry but decided enough was enough and things have been sold making for bare spots and re-arranging so you'll be able to view them in my Photobucket Slideshow.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR COMMENTING ON MY HOME AND DECORATING. We had such a great time doing it all - now we'll have to do a bit more actual Christmas decorating when all the products are put away. Not much though.

We decided to leave the tree as is and not put our own traditional decorations on i - most decorations were sold from the containers below and along side the tree so it was mostly left undisturbed and we rather like the looks of it.

Well, tonight we have or interview for the Country Sampler magazine article - rather excited about it. The photographer, Pilar, and her mother came to our show on Saturday and we were able to brag about her to some of our customers who were here at the time. Fortunately Pilar lives right near us so she's the one coming to do the interview.

Yesterday we took the day off to go to Janesville and pick up some products from The Spinning Wheel Wholesale that customers ordered from the show....our little Angel Tree Toppers were a huge hit. We sold what we had and needed 7 more.

Then after that we did Walmart and then met my brother and his wife and their daughter for lunch at Applebees and then Doug and I went to the mall and I bought some things for myself. I got 2 1/2 price sweaters at Christopher & Banks and some more tops at another shop...and socks! Then we all went to a cute little Primitive shop and I got to shop for goodies this time!!!!!

Have a wonderful day and again, thanks for always coming and reading my blog posts!

Hugs, Karen

    Good luck with the interview. Mine was with a brand new writer - new ever wrote for CS before and she didn't know what firkins were or half the other things in my house. I had to educate her! LOL I just had my last phone call (I think)with the Copy Editor so now I am just waiting to see how it all comes together. I can't wait to see YOUR house and all the other great colonial and prims ones in print!!
