We are enjoying our summer,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
loving the HOT weather.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kids know how to cool off.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's about helping each other stay cool. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fancier resorts have swim up bars.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a twist on that idea...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
In case you didn't think it could be done... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We even managed to train the local bumble bees to fly on a string.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Naturally these were on a catch and release basis...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A couple weeks ago we went to <i>"the ballet"</i>, well actually a recital.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was really disappointed, I mean really, really disappointed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was so excited to see these adorable dancers.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You might say I was too excited!</div>
<br /></div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were the only ones there...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were 2 weeks early!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been sending out jewelry in little handmade cardboard envelopes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They work out perfect for <i>most</i> of the necklaces and bracelets I need to mail.<br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ehY8kgg_BPM/UcNs2siLZVI/AAAAAAAAK0o/iYmQ_81pkzk/s1600/IMG_9580.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ehY8kgg_BPM/UcNs2siLZVI/AAAAAAAAK0o/iYmQ_81pkzk/s640/IMG_9580.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like to make them, I have piles and piles of started projects that I love to use up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XXQ5AkzJ5xA/UcNs4RdgD1I/AAAAAAAAK0w/zoa2V3PbsGw/s1600/IMG_9576.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XXQ5AkzJ5xA/UcNs4RdgD1I/AAAAAAAAK0w/zoa2V3PbsGw/s640/IMG_9576.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I make them in stages, gluing one time, coloring or painting the next, working with stamps, just kinda random things I like to do. Then I sew them on top of cardboard and then into <i>little</i> envelopes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WxV9yqW4tIg/UcNs6Y5iO6I/AAAAAAAAK04/rHwuIF6IylM/s1600/IMG_9581.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WxV9yqW4tIg/UcNs6Y5iO6I/AAAAAAAAK04/rHwuIF6IylM/s640/IMG_9581.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I need a <i>bigger </i>envelope for this cuff that is on it's way to Texas...<br />
There is no way it's fitting in a regular size one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not a problem</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and with my finely honed math skills,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just "measured twice and cut once".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I can send it to you, in a perfect sized package...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes I have to wonder if there is a deeper meaning to what I like,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and therefore collect... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like pitch forks...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wY_zz1HyLuM/Ub-oNgOoIvI/AAAAAAAAKz4/vEFvjLrkobY/s1600/IMG_9528.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="432" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wY_zz1HyLuM/Ub-oNgOoIvI/AAAAAAAAKz4/vEFvjLrkobY/s640/IMG_9528.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wonder why I REALLY REALLY like pitch forks???</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Especially the ones that are sharp...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been collecting them for awhile. I just put them on the fence today. If I had gone a little higher it could work like barbed-wire on cyclone fencing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
. I haven't had a big problem with people trying to climb over the fence, but I will keep that in mind as I continue to collect sharp pitch forks...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this view off the back deck. Our property ends where the tall grass starts. The field is grass that is grown for seed, this time of year it is so pretty. Sometimes there is a yellow haze over the field, that is pollen floating along...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cdwhwKbv91k/Ub-oPcjXUUI/AAAAAAAAK0A/mNE7f2z5CpQ/s1600/IMG_9521.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cdwhwKbv91k/Ub-oPcjXUUI/AAAAAAAAK0A/mNE7f2z5CpQ/s640/IMG_9521.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After all the fun I had arranging the pitch forks I decided to bring out the hammock.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It always sounds like more fun than it is, after the battle of "mounting" (occasionally I get thrown) then its a little boring just laying there...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm still loving the Eden roses,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the biggest dilemma is whether to leave them on the bush or,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
bring them in the house. </div>

It is such a pleasure and honor to work with Judy Watkins and her <em>“people”.</em> </div>
<div align="center">
Judy is beyond a shadow of a doubt one of the most organized, thoughtful and hardest working people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Every detail is covered, every concern is addressed, every person is valued. Judy is at the event center when the vendors arrive, greeting and assisting. She will be there when we are leaving sweeping and waving goodbye, still smiling and looking beautiful. </div>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://remnantsofthepast.com/about.html">Check here</a> to see the wonderful additions she has made to this years show, that I know will be amazing. </div>
<div align="center">
We are looking forward to seeing those of you that can make it to either one or both of these incredible shows. </div>

<strong>Here is a note from Joe and Jermonne that I would like to share with you!</strong> <br />
<strong></strong> <br />
<strong>Please join The Barn House Family for a beautiful day in the country. We have invited 30 of the best collectors, decorators and designers from the West Coast. This will by far be our largest event to date, including over 20,000 square feet of <em>THE BEST</em> in vintage & antique home decor.</strong> <br />
<strong>Plan on staying the day with us. We have two amazing food vendors, live music, and some of our favorite local beers and wines available for your pleasure. We will also have an on-site ATM machine this year!! Please note, many of our vendors accept credit/debit cards, but several only accept cash/check.</strong> <br />
<strong>This is a celebration! Come for the treasures, for the friends, for the hugs, for the inspiration and all the love and kindness that will be circulating in the air.</strong> <br />
<strong>It's going to be one BIG Barn House Party!</strong> <br />
<strong>We are very excited to announce that we have even more than on-site parking this year than ever! THERE IS NO STREET PARKING. Please respect the safety of our neighbors by not parking on the street. It is very dangerous and you will likely be towed.</strong> <br />
<strong>OH, and there are a couple of other events that you won't want to miss just minutes from us. <a href="https://go.madmimi.com/redirects/1342391517-a3ddf7e6c99a3acfad5b7fd19bd76107-1fe4db6?pa=10520865707">Heisen House Vineyards</a> is hosting their 3rd Annual Lavender Festival.
