Mary has been in MY FRIENDS AND I for 25 years and still loves every minute of it!

When someone asks Mary what she collects she says EVERYTHING!, but some of her favorite things are, vintage childrens items, fabric (lots of fabric) buttons and old vintage class school pictures of young children.

  All these things pluse lots more make her heart flutter.

Day at the beach

I spent the day at one of my favorite places anywhere.  The State Park in Half Moon Bay.  It's a great beach to go to.   There are picnik tables right at the edge of the beach where you can have lunch without all the sand and still see the ocean.  An added plus was the field of flowers blooming all around our table.
Today I found more pieces of sea glass than I have ever found there before.  It was so fun walking along the beach and searching for it among the broken shells.  It's hard to find and I did a lot of beach walking just to gather what I did.  Notice the 2 blue pieces. It's the hardest to find.

Sea Glass found at beach today

Following the shell trail all along the beach 

See the green sea glass.  It's laying just where I found it, in the shell trail.

Lynn is dealer # 5 in MY FRIENDS AND I and even though she loves lots of different kinds of things  her first love is minatures.   She said that ever since she was a small child she has always been drawn to tiny things. So much so that she belongs to a club devoted to collecting minatures.   

She carries some really sweet minatures in her booth.  I don't have a doll house but I want some for a little cabinet I have.  They would look so cute!

Minature garden items.  Hard to see but its an arbor and tiny table and chairs. 

 

Both of these pictures are rooms in her display cabinet.  All items are sold seperatly

MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD!

Peggy in space #6 just brought in some beautiful cups and saucers which would be just perfect for your spring teas.  She has some really lovely things in her booth and invites you to check them out while shopping all the great booths in MY FRIENDS AND I.

Just a reminder Mother's Day is coming soon.  Something for Mom from MY FRIENDS AND I is always a special gift.  Can't decide?  We have Gift Certificates.

Don't forget Mom

We have a  new line of greeting cards in the shop.   

The saying on the front is actually a Magnet so it's like a card and a gift all in one.   

Shown are 2 that would be great for Mother's Day.  We also have ones that say Aunt. 

There are lots of different cards with magnets for all occasions.  

Check them out next time your in the shop.   

Oh yes another great thing about these cards they are only $2.00!

Love of old pictures.

I can't stand the thought of them being tossed out in the trash when someone doesn't reconize the people in them.  So I buy them.  Or take them gladly if someone wants to give them away.  I always wonder who they are and what their story was.   I make a lot of tags out of them and someone said "but you punched a hole in it" my answer "at least they are getting a new lease on life and aren't in the trash"  and it goes with whatever it's on, so that's an added bonus.  It all started when I got my Mom's albums and couldn't guess who some of the folks were.  So after asking everyone I thought should know I just started using them.

Anyway I did it again today.  I got a big box of old black and white photo's and I can hardly wait to sort through them.  Did I need more? Don't  I already have boxes full?   Well.......... yes!  But I always have room for more.

By the way the picture below is NOT mine.  I wish it was I love it. 

I will be having baged assortments for sale in the store when I can get them sorted and can bear to part with them.  So if you like old photo's keep an eye out.
