I did it ...
I'd been contemplating it for a while ...
I had to gather up the nerve ...
it took me 6 months to really be ready ...
I cut my hair !
 most of you will think I'm nuts ..
(well, and of course I am !)

but my hair is was my 'thing' ...
but ...
I let it go...
time to move on & lighten the load ...

that's it ..
my news for the month !

happy holidays,

Lucy of bel monili
Denise  of Pittsburgh Wicks
to hang our with our friend Bessie or Besserina
who was co-hosting her first event !
 and what an event it turned out to be !!

the vendor group they complied was  a-mazing


 the decor ~ perfection !


 and although
 the weather was a little iffy of Saturday,
those buyers came out anyway !




there was so much to see and do, the vendors went
above and beyond with the goodies they brought !
