Queen of Bazaars,,,, or is that Bizarre?

Here it is, a day in the life of a Bazaar Queen.... or is that Queen
of the Bizarre? This goes on from mid-September to mid- December,
drag it from the attics and garage sort, tag, re-tag, and now slash with
the great green mark down pen for those "Time to Say Good Bye" items.
Getting to be too much for this Nana.





Three more shows and the season is done.
Bazaars, not a career for sissies!


Eileen and I can't wait to get back to our
sewing machines and glue guns!!

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year!

As far as I am concerned, it IS the most wonderful time of the year! I just love the holidays and preparing for them! Last night I had such fun wandered around the stores, looking at the mounds of decorations they had to offer. Now is the time to start planning and preparing for a beautiful Christmas! Every year I love to do something new, or at least use my favorite things in a new way. If you buy a few things every year that you love, soon your home will be filled with treasured memories and truly Forget Me Not experiences. Isn't that what life should be made of? We think so. That's why we try to make your shopping as easy and pleasant as ever at Forget Me Not Dreams. This holiday season, and just in time for Pink Friday and Christmas at Make Mine Pink this week, we are offering FREE SHIPPING. We know everyone is watching their pennies, so here's to doing our part! Happy Holidays!

We finished.... for this year!!

Phew! We finished breaking down our show last night, loading all of the trucks and vans with props, office needs and leftover product. The bits and pieces we brought in over the week added up to a lot by the time we had to pack everything up to take home.











We had a successful show and enjoyed the time we all spent together. Our board of 6 women having a great time. Now we are excited about getting ready for the Farm Chicks show in June. We will have 3 booths there and are planning the look of our spot and what we are going to make together and collect in our Estate Sale hunts.

Today our first big storm is blowing in. Lots of wind and rain is expected tonight and tomorrow. I have been watching the wind increase all day and the rain moving from a mist to a steady downpour. The poor people who live at the coast will probably have their first flooding of the season tomorrow. I love to watch the happenings outside, make soup and bread for dinner and then just snuggle down and listen to the rain with my husband. Storms in life and about life. Why can't I face my own storms with interest and expectancy, snuggling down with my faith? That warm soup and bread needs to be my study devotions every day. Just another life goal!

The Happiest Place On Earth

We had the most fun this past week celebrating

our daughters College Graduation in Disneyland!

It was all deced out for Halloween and looking so

cute! Here is Heidi and Deric looking so fab in their

3D glasses waiting to ride the Toy Story Midway

Game ride...which was way fun!

The fireworks show was amazing. We were smack

in front of the Castle so the view was amazing!

We also went to Universal Studios for a day!

Couldn't pass us a pic with Sponge bob! Our

favorite ride was the new Simpson's ride! What

a fun trip!

Deric is a huge Simpson fan!

Pink Friday Coming Up Roses

Please join us Friday October 24th for "Coming Up Roses"

I’ve never seen a rose I didn’t love. From the first blossom of spring, gently swaying in the breeze, to an intricately stitched needlepoint, rich in history, I love them all.
Roses represent so many wonderful things and are often used to celebrate special milestones such as weddings, births and anniversaries. Roses have also been used throughout the centuries in estate and cottage gardens, home décor and fashion. Milliners used silk roses to embellish the finest hats, while seamstresses stitches the richest brocade drapes adorned with roses. Throughout the years, famous artists have studied and painted every aspect of the rose. Antique lithographs and post cards from the 1800s grace our homes today with their everlasting beauty while roses continue to gracefully fit every lifestyle and décor. If you have a soft spot for roses, won’t you please join us for PINK FRIDAY at Make Mine Pink on Friday October 24th. The boutiques at Make Mine Pink are pleased to present “Coming up Roses.”
