We love our job!

This is what we woke up to! And we thought what a great day for a Flea Market!
Ok we really do love our job! Even when we are shleping and loading furniture in the Snow!! We just looked at each other and said "Heres something we haven't done before!" And being hardy Montana girls (pulling a trailer), we thought this is nothing we can drive just fine in a little snow, and then it dawned on us...Oh crud can the other millions of people around us drive in snow???

It was actually coming down sideways!

Did I mention it was really cold, and wet!!! And of course perfect for taking pictures!

This is the location of the Second Saturdays Flea Market where we shleped many great finds out to the trailer in the before mentioned cold, wet, blowing, snow!
We really do love our jobs...
All the Best from snowy Seattle

The Adventures of Colette & Rachel continue!

So Saturday morning, at the crack of dawn, Rachel and I head to the sEcond SAturday flea market. I dropped rachel offf at the curb so she could stand in the long line, while I parked the trailer. Yikes! By the time I got done, she was laready inside, doing what she loves--BUYING!
We metamazing people,like Lori and her gorgeous daughters Amanda & her sister.
Their booth was darling and delicious and I wanted to just bring it all back to Montana, including the girls! (they helped carry my purchases out--thanks girls!)

Here's some of their delightful goods for sale. Aren't they delicious?



There were just so many scrumptious things to tempt our budget, so we had to prioritize and edit and tell ourselves "we just can't take it all home!" We do have limits!

This is one of the" over the top talented artists" that was at the show, and of course, I bought several of her creations. You'll just have to wait till I get home to see the goodies!
And this incredible woman had amazing items-vintage, handmade, everything!


Look at the piles, the masses of goods--we shopped for hours!
Posted by PicasaAnd so many clever displays and lovelies!
So, needless to say, Rachel found some amazing things, I kept giving her money, she kept buying more and more and more...
So the show was a success for us. Let's just say we have many many goodies. We found industrial, salvage, leather, and so some of our favorites.
But you will have to wait till we get back, unload, display it all, and then come to our DIVA night January 27th to see what we bought!!!!!
Our story continues....
All the best, from Seattle, Colette & Rachel

Seattle travels!

Greetings all! We have spent the last four days soaking up, no not the rain, the sun in the lovely Seattle area. And as promised we have halted in all of our frantic shopping to share it with you. Sadly we are not able to post any pictures yet, as we do not have the ability on the laptop. You know how they say a picture is worth a thousand words, start counting (just kidding)! We more or less just wanted you all to know that we are still on the planet, all is well, and we are finding the most delicious things for the store. Like lovely moss covered garden salvage, industrial pieces to die for, and yummy spring colored furniture and accents to chase away winter. Just a few things for you to think about until we get back!!!

All the best from Seattle!

Colette & Rachel
