Expo..Again?


Can it possibly be true?



Did we really load up the truck and move to Beverly?? I mean Portland.
Was it not just a week or two ago that we were there before?







It was fun because the big boy Dusty was my helper and he "has an eye for design" as they say and really is a big help with no attitude as my regular "porter" can sometimes develop...




We left it like this on Thursday afternoon





Then when I arrived Friday morning, it didn't take all day to get it organized.


Cindy came Friday to help me get organized and give me a little break to "stretch my legs" which could also serve as an opportunity to see what might be for sale, that I would love to take home. Strangely enough I rarely buy much while I am there. I am more intent on getting my stuff out and having it looking it's best, than finding more...

Maryann and Shannon were on one side and Isabel on the other that is a lot of fun. We did manage to not get in trouble for having tooooo much fun this time.

Shannon modeling the outfit she found in my booth.
Isabel and I getting ready for the next round of entertainment!

The man across from us is very sweet and I tease him, telling him he pays extra to be across the aisle from the booths with the entertainment!
We like to make sure he isn't bored.





Dumbo (the RV) was left home this time, a case of not that organized...I went home Friday night but Saturday night I was so happy that Lisa invited me to sleep over.
I slept very peacefully.

And why wouldn't I? The room is so pretty!









I sure hope no one blames me if something shiny comes up missing...


Lisa had a wonderful dinner ready when I got there and then a terrific quiche for breakfast! I was ready to stay at least a week... But I had to go back for the last day, and who would want to miss the fun of packing it all up and hauling it home??


These helpers of Isabel's seem to enjoy it!

  2. Looks like your booth was fabulous! I have this little dream that one of these days I will be up there and able to come to an Expo like that! And maybe meet some of the great bloggers upon whose blogs I lurk.

  5. Joy, it looks just beautiful! You amaze me, every time!

    CALL or stop by. SOMEONE at my front door told me you drove by today, (right as you WERE driving by and didn't even stop for a diet coke) and I was doing nothing but relaxing after picking up a few treasures after my haircut today. (I had a little b-day $ from my Mom... had being the operative word).

    Love you,
    Sheila
