Shopkeeper & Friends... see who's vending!

Meet Sally. 

The designer of Industrial Chic Jewelry

& Wearable Finds! 

A collector @ heart, 

Sally has turned her attention from 

collecting antiques for her home to 

collecting vintage smalls to make 

fun, one-of-a-kind jewelry!

How fun is this necklace?...

for dog lovers of the world,

we'd be honored to wear a

 collection of dog tags! 

Not only does Sally have an

eye for putting vintage trinkets together

for a great look in jewelry she

she has an eye for vintage shirts!

Vintage flannel & denim are making a 

come back! Who doesn't love comfy!?

She finds, launders & embellishes the

shirts with vintage goodness.

I have my eye on the fall flannel!

Shopkeeper & Friends Market~

It's almost here! 

One Down...

4 to go! 

Next up...

With the "Mr." laid up with 

a bad knee today, 

(he's hoping a little ice & 

taking it easy will do the trick!

I'm not so convinced... fingers crossed!)

it gave us a chance

to catch up on our planning for

the rest of the season.

And boy do we have our 

work cut out for us! 

#1

The patio decorating is planned, 

the list of to do's is made & 

the vendor placement is in the works!

Product ideas are plentiful... 

now for lots of energy, good knees &

time used wisely we should be ready

by Saturday, October 5th!

Imagine all the People Living Life in Peace

I'm hoping we can pull off even 1/2 of

that the "Mr." will stay healthy to 

accomplish all we need to do! 

"knee... heal on!"

The poor shop has had a slow recovery from Junkstock

& now we are stock piling product for our 

Summer Home Show... thus, bare bones at the "SToP"! 

Trying to make it up to you we are throwing you a 

bone of a 20% discount off your entire purchase this weekend!  It's beginning to look like Old Mother Hubbard's cupboards at The Whistle Stop but, 

they are not completely bare... yet! 

(the "mr." won't share any product! He's hoarding it for the 

Rescued Furniture Summer Home Show!)
