Trying to get back into the swing, it seems to be taking me a bit longer than usual. Had some pegboard added to the top back wall of the booth a while back. Since I hang a lot of pictures and needle work I thought this would be easier and cleaner.  I love it!    Just love the Fire King mid c…

We had a wonderful summer, lots of back road riding and adventures  Then the College Men went back to class and my booth at Townsquare Gifts and Antiques needed lots of love. I just do not know how all this time flew by. Wishing everyone all the blessings and promises of the Christ Child and a …
