Music in the Plaza

This Sunday May 1st. from noon to 4:00 pm the Niles Main Street Assoc. is hosting a day of live music and kids games in our beautiful plaza. It's suppose to be a wonderful day weather wise so why not come down and join fun.

I won't be working in shop on Tues. after all. Just found out that one of our Niles Property owner associates and friend Alan Heyman passed away and the service is on Tues. Our thoughts are with his family and his many other friends during this difficult time.

What's in those tin boxes?

I'm still in IL. and I'm having a really good time. We went to all my favorite Antique places and I found a few things, but it's still like winter here so the dealers haven't gotten out to shop and buy for their shops yet.

I have found on other trips that buying tin picnic baskets to put in my luggage protects stuff I buy and as a added plus I can sell the ones I don't want for my self in the shop. The down side is no matter how well I pack them there is no guarantee that the people at the airport won't open them to do a check (they won't believe the stuff!) and if they do, it might not fit back in. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that won't happen.

I'll be working the the shop on the 26th and will be bringing the stuff in to mark and put out.
FUN!

Hello from IL. We are missing WARM, SUNNY California, but are having fun with the Grandkids. Yesterday it was 40ish, rain and cold. Today is still chilly, but at least the sun is shining. Hope it keeps it up all week. I was checking my email and received one from the gal who has these cute bunnies along with other cute printables on her blog. Check it out by clicking here enjoy!

I'm off tomorrow to see kids in IL. Don't know how much shopping I will get done, but hope to do some. There are 3 or 4 places I like to shop while there. Keep a watch on this blog for updates and pictures of finds.
