A tricky balance.....that's what maintaining your sanity is all about when you have three kids, a dog named
Stella, a guinea pig named Heidi, and a Barn Sale a few weeks away. So, off to work I go.....
Well, I worked for a while, but then, I took a little trip to Oregon.....Portland, Oregon, that is....to meet a
new friend....a new friend I met on the internet....yeh, i know, a little weird. Not really though, kinda smart.
It is called Networking....networking with gals that love to do what you do...CREATE. This gal and I were
separated at birth....I know we were. Our lives are almost identical, for the most part....same experiences,
good and bad. Same dreams, same goals, same everything.....we connected on every level imaginable. Is
that possible....to meet someone on the internet yet connect on so many different levels?
Maybe I
should give Internet Dating a shot......just kidding, seriously. Check her out, you won't be
disappointed....Lindsey Frankus, aka
The Farrier's Daughter.
Anywho, I am about to let the cat out of the bag on a different level ...this is my haven, this blog,
right?....Only my peeps who are interested in what Christy Stone is doing come here, right? I can say what I
want on here, right? I am as transparent as the water in the Caribean, right?...always have been always will
be. I don't pretend, never have, never will. Here it goes, I am getting a d.i.v.o.r.c.e. You may have
wondered what all the past allusive posts have been about....well now you know.
On a sunnier note, I am doing good....don't want a pity party, girl drama, or anything like that.....I just
wanted my peeps to know first hand the truth, not just what may or may not be floating around. You have it
and that's all I have to say....no pointing fingers, just an admission of truth. Now you know why I have been
neglecting you guys for the past three months. I will survive....I know that for sure!
Now tell me, who is excited about the Fall Strawberry Patch Sale?....ME!.....it has taken me a while to get
there but I am THere. Those guys in Battle Ground, Washington, at
Barnhouse really know how to put on a
show and they played a humongous role in getting me THere....I have a long way to go to stand up next to
those guys, however, I am giving it all I got.....ALL I GOT! They prefer a much more monochromatic look,
which is so clean and pristine it is hard to describe.....there ability to pull 1000 vendors (well not that many)
together who are equally talented in creating an atmosphere that sweeps you away, is
undescribable....each vendor there is on the same page......very impressive. I will leave you with some
pictures of this amazing experience....Note: my camera went dead about midway through the show.....what
more could you expect out of me?
I have more pictures, but for now, this is it....off to work on my pieces of furniture!
