roadtrip !

loading up for our first

roadtrip of the year !!

heading up north to

hamburg new york

we are vending at

springtime in the country

at the

agri center in hamburg

near buffalo

this is my first time with

these promoters,

but i've heard great things about them

so i'm looking foward to it

normally i dont do indoor shows,

i much prefer pulling my truck up to

my spot and unloading...

so not into the dollying deal,

but...giving it a shot..

i figured it would be a great excuse

for a roadtrip..

take one route up and a

different one back

stop in small towns

look for antique shops

brush the snow off the truck

oh wait...that wasnt supposed to be part

of the deal....

how did that happen???

oh well...we got what we got...

no springtime weather here....

but really SNOW ????

but off we go....

will keep you posted



still working on the sort....

1) old scale..just love the color on the dial

2) sheep picture in an old old flea market frame//leather !

3)cutest little rocker - flea find

bought it to go with......

4) my paps rocker...love it !

five friday favs....and a new junkmobile....

friday again..........gees..time goes fast..

well..this week...my favorite thing is...

drum roll please.....

a new junkmobile !!

i love - love - love my new truck

i had no intention of getting a new truck,

my son and i just went to check these out...

i never thought they would get me good enough numbers...

but....they did !! 

and i went home with this baby !

so...this week..i'm going to tell you my five friday favs about my new truck !!

* * *

1) the chrome........whoo hoo...you know i love the shiny silver...jewelry for your vehicle...

(please pay no attention to the reflection

in the mirror back...duh)

* * *

2) the flip down flat passenger seat..

made to be a desk for your laptop....

or just a flat surface to write on...

 * * *

3) came with an on dash GPS..

will keep me from getting lost

on those road trips !!

* * *

4) totally awesome built in rack with hooks to tie down to..

and a painted on bed liner...

(this is the off road model ... so it comes with this to tie down your quad or motorcycle...)

but..haha..for me it will be holding down

my tent, tables, tubs....whooohooo !

and last but definately not least....

(website pics....easier to show)

5)the ultimate in trucking !

a fold out rack to make the bed longer...

* * *

i wanted a smaller truck

(mine was a bear to park)..

but i needed the longer bed to fit my tent..

this can go either way..

it also serves to hold in smaller items in the bed...

so cool...i just love it !!

lightwweight enough for even me to flip it..

or lift it out if i dont want it at all...

* * *

so that's it for this week....

happy trails.....

white wednesday and five friday favs !

you all know my new couch house story

(if not read it here)

so i'm starting to work on the downsizing

easy peasy ....right???

well..

i am a huge huge  ...did i mention huge....

fan of peter walsh

organizer extraordinaire

i loved him on clean sweep and now i love him on

oprah's OWN network

on enough already

anyway i am trying to follow some of his rules

for getting rid of my stuff..

(insert laughter here)

in the process ... i am using the

if you dont love it or use it...get rid of it rule

i realized that i have a lot of stuff that i actually do love

hence...

for at least the month of march ...

i trying my first linky linky

to showcase

featuring 5 of my/your favorite things

they can be small...large....new...old..

whatever strikes you..

for my starting week..i am giving it a little

early bump to piggy back on faded charm's

 

i'm starting with all white to stay with her theme...

but you can hook up any five things you 'love'

 

i love my french doors...cant take them, but i already

installed new ones at the farmette

so...

1. this wreath

found this at after holiday sale at big lots

dirt cheap and i love the look

2. my olde crow painting

i loved the door itself...but then i added

the olde crow and if i do say so myself..

i love him..

he's coming with me for sure...

3. very old skinny cupboard

bought this at an auction for $5

chippy chippy just the way i like it

fits anywhere...it's been all over my house

for sure will find a place for it

4. little silhouette

it hangs on the side of #3....along with an old yardstick

found in at the flea for a buck...

cant beat that and i love her

5. coffee dyed rag wreath

made it myself...discovered it is way too

time consuming to be something i would want to do and sell

but i like it..it will stay...

so........

hop on over to white wednesday at faded charm

and come back before friday and add your post for
