This is pretty cute.  Made from those free paint chip samples you get at Home Depot, Lowes, etc.

I have seen lots of crafts with these and every time I go to one of these stores I think I should gather some up, But then I think, there are probably cameras watching me (they are everywhere) and someone is saying "would you look at that lady swipeing all our chips" LOL

Anyway if you want to check out the site this is on go HERE

Hey all:


I was just reading the Argus and they have a vote for your favorite everything going on. You can vote for your favorite shopping dist. and stores.

Well...........I just voted for MY FRIENDS AND I (yes I did!) We are constantly b...eing told by customers that we are their favorite store. If we're yours then go  HERE and vote for us. It's easy! I put Niles Dist. Fremont in shopping area and put My Friends and I - Antiques, Gifts under Boutique. I'll have to try and get a listing for Antiques next year. They will have the winners in BEST OF THE EAST BAY Sunday, May 19th. Hope we make one of the best!

I don't know about all of you, but I'm feeling that Spring is here.  It may rain some more, but for today I am lovin' the weather.  We just got back late Sunday evening on a 2 week whirl wind trip to Colorado.  COLD, SNOW, ICE, and not my favorite place in the winter.  We spent one night in Wyoming and it was 9 degrees.  We had our truck and camper and a great heater, plus an electric on the bed so we were warm and snug.   I was born and raised in Fremont and this weather is why I live in Calif.

Trip to the Las Vegas Gift Show.

This is Mary, now known as the Bag Lady Of Niles!  LOL.  We loaded up on

free bags at different showrooms.  With the new charge for bags in Fremont

we can use them.

The picture isn't great, but had to get one of all us.  We shopped till we dropped!

We stayed at the 4 Queens in the older part of town.  Was fun.

We spent some evening time out on the street, people watching

and watching the great sky show they put on at night.

It's on a screen above Fremont Street and is something to see.

The boxes will start coming soon.  We bought some really cute merchandise for the shop.

The area way in the back of the store has a new look.  Bo who used to be on the wall in the bottom picture is now in the space across the way.  The wall space is now home to Pat our newest dealer.

There's some fun stuff back there, stop in when you can and have a look.
