Steve and I spent a few days at St. Petersburg Beach where we ate lots of seafood, enjoyed the sunshine and got together with some old friends. During the break we also visited my favorite antique show and bought lots of great things. The Mt. Dora Extravaganza is held four times per year and has over 1400 vendors!
found to be benign. Also, On 1/31/14 my dear Aunt passed away after a battle with cancer.Now My Exciting news…..
never set up at a Vintage Market?
On June 7th I’ll be a vendor at The Polka Dot Flea being held in Orlando, Fl. Carol writes the blog The Polka Dot Closet and is frequently a vendor at other Vintage Shows. She has put her knowledge, and so much work, into creating this show. I know it will be a big success and I am super excited to be a part of it.
Below are three vignettes I put together for the flea website.
Now I have to get busy painting and creating.Hugs,
Sherry
PS: The Open House Party will still be on hiatus for the time being. Thanks for
your patience.
Welcome Back, Sherry! I've missed you. I'll check out Polka Dot Flea soon. Sounds exciting!
Hi Sherry! I can't wait to see those chairs finished and congrats on the Vintage Market!
Cheers! – Shelley

Sounds like you have had some fun and got a lot of projects under way too. Love the vignettes for the flea, wish I was closer, I want that cheese slab. Thanks tons for linking to Inspire Me. Hugs, Marty
Welcome back Sherry!!! I saw your name on Carol's list of vendors and thought…yay…Sherry is getting back in the business. Carol's show should be wonderful. So glad that the lump was not cancer (I had the same thing happen to me back in Nov. and it really scares you). Looking forward to seeing the chairs after their makeover.
Blessings,
Linda

Cheers for all benign results! May everyone get such good news.
Congratulations to you on getting back into sharing your wonderful wares with the shopping public!! Loved the photos and wish the Polka-Dot Flea market wasn't so far away … as if I could get more furniture and stuff in this house!
Have you heard about a flea market somewhere in FL called Fancy Flea? One blogger there used to have marvelous photos of that venue.
Hugs!
Congrats on doing the Polka Dot show, Sherry. I love The Polka Dot Closet blog. She is a lovely person. Have fun getting ready for the big show.
I have not been to Mt.Dora in several years but always loved
going.
Did you use your camper in St. Pete? I was trying to think where there were any campgrounds there.
Anyway, welcome back! It is nice to see you here! xo Diana
the chairs are wonderful, and I'm so excited to hear about your venture into the market event scene. sounds like lot's of fun!
I am sorry to hear about your aunt.
You posted so many things I don't know if I can respond to them all!
Needless to say, I am grateful your cancer scare went away as quickly as it arrived.
It's great that you are taking time for yourself now, as I see a whirlwind in your future! LOL!

Oh for cripes sake that's what you needed a lump…Glad all was fine! But, then you lost your aunt…When it rains it pours and you have had enough already!!!
Thank you Thank you for the shout out on the Polka Dot Flea!!! You sent a lot of readers my way! The chair looks great, but I think it would look better without the blue tape…Just saying lol!!
