Catching up from a very busy May!

Some of my followers (okay,only 2) have asked me what has been happening. I had a busy May and rather than bore you with all the details,I will post pictures of all the shows I did.
The first was the Linen Ladies in Greensville. Nice show,nice people, and is in the hall of a wonderful old church .My window looks out on the serene graveyard. I love it there.

Okay as usual,I am having problems placing pictures. The one above on the left is how my friend Adeline displayed her brooches. So cute!

Next we move to Aberfoyle Sat. show and Barb did it with me. There is something about that place that attracts low lying clouds full of moisture,so we had to condense our display to keep it dry. We had fun and had wonderful things for sale. Barb had wonderful barkcloth,she had been saving it for a big splash! Our quilt collections together were very colourful.

Next was 2 Saturdays in NOTL at my friend Hilary's annual garden sale. Her garden is special so people come for the sale and to see what is in bloom. It was cool this sping so many things were behind in blooming. The following week it warmed up and there was a total different bunch of plants blooming. There are so many birdhouses and they are all occupied. We had to cordone off the main entrance to the garden,as a robin had nested in the arbour and the day of the show,there were babies in the nest. She was very nervous and would leave every time someone went by. So we all  went another way so she could stay in the nest. It worked and she had a successful family.

So that was Hilary's garden show.We had a great couple of days,and the garden was gorgeous.After her show,I did Antiques at the Market in NOTL. It is the first Sat. of every month at the farmer's market from May to Sept. on Hwy 55 beside the Shopper's Drug Mart.

I had a little side trip before it though.A fabric lady at Aberfoyle told me about a place near Chatham that was closing down after 52 years of business. It was in a garage in the middle of nowhere and they were selling things off at a great discount.She also told me that they still had

fabric  from when they opened. I couldn't resist and took a 3 1/2 hour drive to see for myself. The following pictures don't show the incredible amount of fabric stuffed into a small building. The price when I got there wasn't by the yard,but for the entire bolt. I bought weird stuff from the 50's and 60's because I couldn't resist,as well as a whole roll of ticking. She even gave me a sapling of her lilac tree. She was trying to get out quickly and I think she might already be closed. What a place,I spent 2 hours searching through it. Great fun.

As usual,I am going to do a little project and repaint this metal stand I bought a couple of years ago. Look for it soon. I will try to keep up,but May was a flash! Also Striper continues to keep me company when I am working,sometimes right where I want to be!  

Bev's car loaded!





Here's the little plant stand I will be redoing and my helper.

Okay,I have had a few issues doing this today.I get it all set up and when I preview it, all the pictures have moved,and the type too. Drives me nuts. Looks good when I am doing it,then it changes.Ah well that's life.

See you soon!  Bev
