just a really quick post to let you know

that we arrived home safe and sound..

quite rattled, but safe...

many many of the vendors,

and i imagine all the staff...

live in the areas effected by

the Frankenstorm

personally, we chose a path more to the west

to avoid west virginia and 2 feet of snow thru the mountains,

but it was still a tough drive.

my helper/friend suellyn

saved the day with her awesome driving skills !!

but i had to do the last 2 hour leg all by myself

(and as those who know me, know..i do NOT do rain...or dark...and it was BOTH)

our PA turnpike was not allowing trucks,

trailers, buses or anything other

than passenger vehicles heading east,

which made it a bit easier..

who am i kidding..

there was NOTHING easy

about it...

it was awful !

speed limit was dropped to 45

which was totally necessary

this was my view

i actually have no circulation in my fingers...and

i will NEVER do it again..

should really have gotten a room,

but i just so wanted to be home.

* * *

that all said...

there are many of our friends who are not yet home,

please pray for them to be safe

and find their homes in one piece when they get there.

* * *

at the show,

the weather was 80 and sunny

perfection

we had a blast, made lots of new friends,

sold just TONS of jewelry,

and all in all

just loved the show.

there is so much to show you..

i have about 700 pictures...

they will follow when i know

everyone is home

safe

and

sound.

twitter

as if i dont have enough on my plate

lol

i am trying to learn to twitter..

or should i say 'tweet'

as i'm told i need to say

if i want to sound like i know what i'm talking about

i have to say ..

it's a younger person's game

this social networking......

i am exhausted trying to learn it all

but i'm giving it me best shot

so if you 'tweet'....

please

and bear with my while i learn
and try not to make fun of me....!

what's in a name

* * *

sigh.....juNxtaposition....hmmm

- - -

funny name....

what does it mean ???

how do you pronounce it ???

hmmm

- - -

well............

_ _ _

the origin - by definition :

noun

1.an act or instance of placing close together or side by side,

especially for comparison or contrast.

(it's actually a decorating term)

- - -

[juhnk-stuh-puh-zish-uhn]

noun

1. an act or instance of placing close together or side by side the old and new,

especially for comparison or contrast.

such as...

OLD typewriter keys, NEW settings

ROUGH skeleton keys, SMOOTH pearls

VINTAGE silverware, NEW STYLE stamping

OLD dictionaries & hymnals,, NEW bubbles & matboards

on and on and on and on ...

we are only limited by our imagination !!

_ _ _

my definition:

the juxtaposition of junk

_ _ _

so...it's a strange name....i am aware....

i didnt follow any of the 'business' rules for choosing a name...

_ _ _

(and the fact that it's lower case...always puts me at the end of the list...sigh...)

_ _ _

but i can live with it all...

because mostly i'm just called...

"the typewriter key lady with the funny name ... you know ... starts with a J....."

but that's ok...they know who i am...

_ _ _

so i suppose my point,

in this internet world,

you only have to know how to spell it once..

then 'bookmark' the pages you are interested in...

and to KNOW me is to LOVE me..
