Patina White: let the FLEA-fun begin!

well here we are! almost at the start of yet another "flea" season! yep. memorialWEEKEND brings out the grillin'GURUS...GIDDYgraduates...SUMMER affairs...PLUS marks the start of the shadyHOLLOW flea market kickOFF. and we are open (3) special days to get the season rolling! {note dates below} hours vary by vendor, but a general rule of thumb is by 9am for the market to be hopping w/ both cabins + fieldVENDORS alike!

i hope you will come by and be INSPIRED! and remember... memorialWEEKEND only is the start for shadyHOLLOW. my little cottage will be open any give SUNDAY all summer w/ (3) day openings on 4th of july plus labor day weekends!

the market is a must see attraction if you are going to be in the neighborhood of detroitLAKES, MN in the beautiful northwest section of minnesota ... please be sure to pop by and say hi!

i've been bustling about...makin' & gathering up some jewels to plump up my stock of baubles...

i've added a couple "girls" to my staff...they will be decked out and ready to strut their "stuff"!

and even though there is much to do...i took some time to stamp "nameTAGS" for a special combo necklace i wove together. because sometimes i do get caught up in the little details. especially when i think they makes a BIG difference.

even got my wheatGRASS growing & soon to be ready. lovely little sprouts to inspire... grab a bag of some seed to plant your own cheerful pots. still proves that i can have a lush lawn... even if it's only inside!

2014 marks my 10th year @ the flea! WOW...! where does the time go? i still recall vividly taking possesion of my cabin and removing layers of plywood to make it the sweet little cottage i still reside in every summer. see my location on the map below to guide the way! and if you'd like more details on shadyHOLLOW i invite you to CLICK on said map to visit their website!

here's a throwback... i ran short on business cards. really wanted to update them but... what's a girl to do when time is of the essence {besides doing them weeks back}? well i grabbed a packet of prefab business card sheets i nabbed @ our thrift adding a little coffee staining for some character. then stamped them w/ the VERY 1st stamp i had made when i did my first show...almost 12 years back! simple yes. but i like 'em and they will do the trick for the time being!

so a big THANKS for making this passion to share bits of beauty + inspiration a continued dream come true! i am SO blessed & reminded daily that i am able to TRULY do //what i LOVE//.
