finale ~ Sand Point Antique & Design Market

Words simply can't express the extraordinary gratitude

all of us felt for the wonderful, appreciative

crowd of *spending* customers who

shared a perfect Sunday with

us at Sand Point!!!!!

* * * *

If you missed this show, you missed a GREAT

one! With fewer vendors than in past markets, the mix

was spectacularly well-curated with tons of new merchandise to be

enjoyed by all. It was such a booster to receive such praise and the purchasing

behind the accolades to inspire us to continue following this path

that we all love so very much . . . and we love YOU,

dear customers who continue to believe

in us and keep us coming back!!!

Next stop for Ormolulu and friends is the intimate--but always

beautiful--Greenbank Show on Whidbey Island this

Labor Day Weekend! I'm late to post on

this but promise to have details

tomorrow--stay tuned!!

. . . just a bit more light on the subject.

Three days . . . five trips to the hardware store(s) . . .

again. See them at Sand Point Antique & Design Market this Sunday!!

. . . what's on your fridge ? ? ? ?

Okay . . . I'll admit it: I've never liked pictures/stuff on my fridge door!!!

(Will lightening bolts come down and eliminate me from the planet?!)

Having seen so many refrigerator doors literally *covered* in

sweet sentimentality . . . what's wrong with me that I

don't like that?! Oh no . . . it's creeping in!!!

1960's sweeeeeet pic of my Jim.

So much about him is *still*

right there: no really bad or

*mean* disdain (only pretend) of the

moment--with his first "jack-o-lantern".

(Can just imagine him saying: "No way will I admit that I

like this . . . !"). Note the tiniest , little tip

of his three-year-old tongue

saying . . .

NO!!

(He is just as sweet--but just as much *sweetboy*--today!!)

Do we really ever change deep in the heart?????

Innocence is always a part of our

better selves, no??!

The only other thing on my fridge (other than the top--another post!!)

is this INSPIRATION. Struggling with my increasing age,

against my growing appetite for experiencing life . . .

I find this quotation supremely motivating.

Hope you do too! With love,
