Over a year ago, I lost my job of 16 years, and had been working with Terri and Susan in our "junk" business, and learning to live with one less income (in looking back, God was definitely preparing us for "something"). We had been able to rent a space and try our hand at a few occasional sales. It was fun setting up shop and selling, and meeting new friends/customers, but unfortunately, we lost our lease, and closed our doors in August.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDQfpVrafjAdxl07JetzzyolgpDxfDEEOId9zsGY1ZJVuwvovYOTJ5wxl7wYSeC6dPwOpxc8DRdle0sl_PKmtk_Z-NQib3P5gr4HRRqeLPgOkzq6jRItFZG_C7qPv46w7-FyDbTRXe0ZS_/s640/blogger-image-671186117.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDQfpVrafjAdxl07JetzzyolgpDxfDEEOId9zsGY1ZJVuwvovYOTJ5wxl7wYSeC6dPwOpxc8DRdle0sl_PKmtk_Z-NQib3P5gr4HRRqeLPgOkzq6jRItFZG_C7qPv46w7-FyDbTRXe0ZS_/s640/blogger-image-671186117.jpg"></a></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">During that time (actually since May), Jim and I were in high gear, downsizing...purging, selling, and packing - it seemed like 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It was an exhausting endeavor, but we knew it was going to be worth it. We also listed our home for sale in July, and after barely 2-1/2 weeks...it sold!!! Again, another prayer answered, and we were ready to hit the road. With the help of quite a few friends, we were able to get packed, loaded, and moved (a small caravan) to Baltimore on Labor Day weekend, and began our new adventure. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8-XATreLagjl2T4TEhNY8Pr9gbD9yampMxF-pQYZBMMANC3fkY4RTumffZ2f_LQHRgtR2zM_Sw952ZA0cakQQ_OkpDFCMTKZL7rYFok_ed6st-XixSt81ukF7UH3ALcK68e_AkINqR3IZ/s640/blogger-image-1820294462.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8-XATreLagjl2T4TEhNY8Pr9gbD9yampMxF-pQYZBMMANC3fkY4RTumffZ2f_LQHRgtR2zM_Sw952ZA0cakQQ_OkpDFCMTKZL7rYFok_ed6st-XixSt81ukF7UH3ALcK68e_AkINqR3IZ/s640/blogger-image-1820294462.jpg"></a></div><br></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ8ncyZA0Vhkw7qdRIylaxA7ZOhXfquiHgUVTVkX0L-oc9CRLvyqFCQeUP7ih7jBH0othKqRFBVfQ3KY47U80JaglNNQahVboWbpuXuccbYChThKcjD-viQyZj43aYippRGQKnfT2No6KL/s640/blogger-image-2011118134.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ8ncyZA0Vhkw7qdRIylaxA7ZOhXfquiHgUVTVkX0L-oc9CRLvyqFCQeUP7ih7jBH0othKqRFBVfQ3KY47U80JaglNNQahVboWbpuXuccbYChThKcjD-viQyZj43aYippRGQKnfT2No6KL/s640/blogger-image-2011118134.jpg"></a></div></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Leaving family and friends was the hardest thing to do.

They want to get her to 34 weeks, so we're praying she will! The staff at the hospital have been wonderful, and are taking the best care of her and the boys.

And, Springfield is always fun ā getting together with our āneighborsā, selling our ājunkā, and just having a great time with everybody we get to meet! The weather was a test for sure, but flea market shoppers are a hardy group (as well as the vendors) ā we all try to make the best of it, and since we canāt control the weather ā you then have to remember that old saying āthe show must go onā ā and it does!<br />

Well, Terri will be taking a well deserved vacation (and then back to the busyness of ājunkā); Susan has recently left her day job so sheās been traveling a bit and gardening a lot; and in a week, I will be leaving my day job due to changes with my employer. Iāve been doing office work for many years, and actually, when I think about it (and I tell people this too), Iāve been sitting at a desk since kindergarten (alright thatās about 50 years ā ouch!!). So, with this change comes lots of thoughts of what will I doā¦ And, honestly ā Iām not sure. There are definitely thoughts bouncing around in my little blonde head! I know I have to continue making an income, so the first thing Iāll be trying to do is make ājunkā my day job if I can, and like that little train ā I THINK I CAN, I THINK I CAN!! Iām also going to be helping a friend with estate sales (another part of my plan for my day job). Other thoughts are possibly having our shop open maybe a day a week (in addition to our occasional markets), custom painting furniture for clients, maybe some ādesign on a dimeā decorating for clients ā helping them use what they haveā¦ All things I love doing. I just donāt want to get myself so scattered that Iām not able to do one one thing well. So, after all that ā I DO have faith that God is closing this door, to open another one ā and itās wide open for possibilities ā but, for right this moment, Iāve got to go through what Iāve got to go throughā¦to get where Iām supposed to be! Iām also so thankful for a supportive husband, family - and my friends ā I couldnāt do it without themā¦<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
So, in the theme of āchangesā in my lifeā¦my husband and I want to downsize, and hopefully find a smaller home (with a much smaller yard) early next year(ish) ā so , you know what that meansā¦itās time for me to get rid of some ājunkāā¦a garage sale is in order for some time this summer (so thatās one thing on my āto doā list) ā so that weāll actually be able to <em>fit</em> into a smaller home. Iām looking forward to less outside work (pool and yard), and to have time for my ājobā, visiting our kids in Maryland, and hopefully a bigger chunk of our time spent in Florida in the winter ā so thereās my dream in a nutshell! </div>

There are over 70 vendors this year (including artisans and food vendors), and the uniqueness - and sheer creativity of the vendors/artists is not to be missed. There will be lots of oooohs and aaaahs - and plenty of buying ā because so many things are truly one of a kind! There are wonderful local food vendors, and musical entertainment too! A great family day - or girlsā day trip!!

We had a quick trip to Florida in January (way too quick, but was thankful we got to feel some warm sunshine for a while!). Iāve been busyā¦you know the routine ā getting ready for the upcoming show season, and weeding through some junk in my basement, that Iām finally using and/or selling this year. </p> <p align="justify">I just have to share my new bathroom with youā¦My tired, early 90s bathroomā¦(the cabinets in need of some paintā¦white of course, and wallpaper in need of a going away par-tay!!). We hadnāt done anything with the bathroom since we moved inā¦in 2000, so, it was time for a change. So, for my Christmas present this year, my sweet husband (with a little hint or two from my friend, Susan) took on the re-do! We planned our ādesign on a half a dimeā (literally, we were being very frugal this past Christmas); and dug in!!</p> <p align="justify">First to go was the humungous cabinet over the toilet (pictures of its āre-doā at the end of the storyā¦). It was way too big, and I really wanted a cute little shabby white cabinet to replace it.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-JUod7KA4aHU/US5uqa0Ax3I/AAAAAAAAJyc/WtaOAfYsAnA/s1600-h/DSC09801%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC09801" border="0" alt="DSC09801" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-IPPxGaDDuaM/US5uqzAcjkI/AAAAAAAAJyk/dRxVbhfvwC0/DSC09801_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="317" height="445"></a></p> <p>SOā¦poof it was gone (well, it was a little harder to do than that)!!
