CASH MOB... OH MY GOSH!!!

CASH MOB... OH MY GOSH!!!

WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!

BANNER SALES – MULTIPLE TREASURES PUT ON HOLD – ITEMS ON LAYAWAY

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO ATTENDED, TO THOSE WHO CALLED, EMAILED AND TEXTED, 

AND TO THOSE WHO HAVE VISITED OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS AS WELL!

What an incredibly AWESOME experience!  We are humbled...

Thank you ALL for your support and all of the emails asking how our event fared!

UNBELIEVABLE!  I am still mouthing the words, OMG, OMG, OMG...

And if you didn’t already know about this... the CASH MOB was formed to stimulate business 

for the little guy... the mom and pop businesses that desperately need and count on 

YOUR support to continue surviving and thriving in this day and age!  

SHOP LOCAL is the message:  Don’t let the independents go by the wayside!

WE need YOUR support and WE appreciate you SO much!  All of the independent businesses 

in Issaquah (as well as small communities throughout America) depend on you.  

We have so much to offer... so much more than the big box stores.

Give us a try!  We will help you with anything you need!

And again, thank you for the INCREDIBLE SUPPORT

at the CASH MOB event last Wednesday!  What an amazing day...

King5 was at SISTERS ANTIQUES from 3:00 p.m. until about 7:00 p.m.,

filming our CASH MOB for a feature which will air in about 2 weeks!

So much to do, so little time...  But we'll get there... we'll get it all done.

Hope to see you on Wednesday!

"V" is for Vanessa

It was only 2 1/2 years ago when I shared the
wedding experience of my oldest son 

and his beautiful wife.  

And about 8 months ago they shared 

some wonderful news with me!

Now the title of gramma has been 

bestowed upon me.

At this very moment I feel like the only one 
who has ever experienced the thrill of becoming a gramma. 

...and I can debut my beautiful granddaughter!

What an incredible feeling!

The Sound of Silence

... is wonderful, but only when you are ready for it.

For me, it’s been too quiet lately.  It started snowing on Saturday, a week and a half ago.  Roads were almost impossible to navigate, especially living at the end of a long, narrow driveway and being a little remote.  But I love the snow and this was to be an adventure... an excuse to play and not work.

But then we lost power last Thursday.  It was dark and very cold.  We couldn’t even leave the house for the first few days.  And when we were able to, we didn’t go far or stay long because we just couldn’t leave our animals alone in a house that had become colder inside than the temperature outside.

Layered in long underwear and sweats, multiple long-sleeved shirts, three pairs of socks, a knee-length down coat with a hood and covered with blankets I shared with two cats and two dogs, I heard something.  And then the bulbs in my chandelier flickered.

Finally, late yesterday afternoon, we were no longer powerless. 

Powerless...  I’d never thought about that word having so many meanings before.

This morning, our home is warm again, the animals are content, I am “powerful.”

And I am happy.  Very happy.
