Part 2~

Are ya ready for the "rest of the story"?

My first set up at a local Farmers Market- I'll never forget how unsure(and with good reason!)I was.
I brought my clothes as an experiment because I had done so many things that I was certain I'd never wear them all.
All my confidence was in my homemade soap! I was just sure that this would be my regular business.

On our next stop  the Cal-Cam Flea Market!! YAHOO!!! What fun this was!!!!!

Once a month Marilyn and I set up our wares and tended the market from our own little spot called

 THE  NEST!!!

This is a great little Market-and we met some great folks out there! We set up until the end of July and it was just time to quit. It was hot and that took a toll on Marilyn's health and my endurance.

I was getting more and more connected with my direction on my clothing and beginning to trust some of my own ideas.

THEN, the Primitives /Antique store where I work part time relocated to Lake Charles-a big move up!

I wasn't sure Id keep working .....but my hubby insisted I go ahead for a while and see how it worked out-he knows how I  LOVE the merchandise/people associated with my "junk stuff".

 Once relocated the owner graciously suggested we give the clothes a try at the new location. I was elated-then immediately intimidated! 

All of a sudden I was right back to being a shy,little kid that wanted to be invisible! 

I fought it off,knowing that in a few months I would be an empty nester and I would need to be busy with things I enjoy!

**Well~ I am still anticipating that moment of an empty nest-not looking forward to it but knowing that no matter what I think or want my youngest is ready to try his wings out.

 He'll be shipped out for boot camp in just a few months.***

I am thrilled to report that MettaMarie is booming and best of all?

 I have met some of the nicest folks ever!!!!!

(sometimes I think they are just too nice to me!!)

I recently had an open house for my Spring items and just about sold out !!

So much for being prepared!!!!
