You Never Know...

Hey Fleas!

The Santa countdown is on... 5 days left!  Are you ready? 

I can't wait! 

I spent the day this past Tuesday, at my booth located in 

"The Queen of Hearts" in Alpharetta, GA.   Here's a pic...

BTW... this store was featured in one of a flea market junkies' favorite magazines, 

"Flea Market Style" (2012 Winter Edition), when Ki visited it on her latest Atlanta trip!  SO COOL!

Anyhoo... I had finished "primping" my booth for the week, and found I actually had time to shop! YAY! 

I was picking out some "Annie Sloan" Chalk Paint... Yes! We have someone who carries both that AND "Miss Mustard Seed's" Milk Paint (haven't tried that yet)... when I ran into the most lovely woman.  We got to talking over paint (LOVE Annie Sloan!) and then the discussion led to blogs.  OK... if you're paying any attention at all to me, you know that I am brand new to the "blogworld" in terms of design, you know I have a hard time with the computer, and you know I am moving really 

S-L-O-W! Imagine how my insides felt when the conversation took a turn in this direction! 

She was talking about her blog faves when all of a sudden, the urge to blurt out, "I HAVE A BLOG!" came upon me!  At this point, a million things ran through my head like...

Am I ready to actually admit this?

Am I ready to really put this thing out there?

What if this nice lady could care less?

What if she actually cares, wants to go there and HATES it?

(Do I sound a little "glass half empty" or what?)

WOAH! Thank goodness my mind went on autopilot to balance all this negativity with... 

What if she wants to visit it and LOVES it?

How am I ever going to achieve my dreams if I can't even admit I have a blog?

but most importantly...

You never know what will happen if you don't try?

"I HAVE A BLOG!"  There, I said it!!! WHEW!

And then...

INTERMISSION... 

(I'm trying to build suspense here!) 

KEEP READING!

Here's a pic of the coolest wreath I have seen this Christmas...

Do you love it as much as I do?

Wreath made from vintage 1970's 45's compliments of 

"Thunder Road Music Studios", Roswell, GA,

where my son takes bass guitar lessons... shout out to Matt!!!

BACK TO THE STORY...

Not only did my admission to a blog fall upon VERY interested ears, I got a LOAD of encouragement!

She LOVED my name and told me how easy it would be to remember! (YAY #1!)

She also told me how proud she was of me, and you know what, I'm proud of me, too! (YAY! #2!)

And.. (drumroll, please!), she is the editor of... no, no, no, not yet...one day though... 

she told me she could not wait to get home to CHECK IT OUT!!! 

YES! She actually cared! It WAS worth it!

Just goes to show... You never know who you might, in this case, meet!

To my new lady friend (why didn't I ask your name?)...

THANK YOU! 

You will NEVER know how you made my day!

God Bless!

Thanks for reading, fellow fleas!  The blog process is on!

Today, a Facebook class with Jenny!

Wish me luck!
