Blog Update...

Hello...

... well, the new website is on hold for a while
and I still cannot update the existing website
For now, it still is the place to visit and browse
through the albums of our past shows
and Rescued Furniture! It is not the place
to look for current info!
Please check here on the blog or on 
facebook for current events, hours
changes etc.

In the mean time I am giving the ol' blog
a mini make over! I still have some work to do 
but, it's coming along!

Shopkeeper & Friends Outdoor Market
is only 4 weeks away! I will be starting
the meet and greet of our vendors here
this week! So, check back and see
who's coming & what great goods
they'll be bringing! 

See you soon!
