As I started working on my Christmas in July projects for the blog I realized that I had never shared photos from the Mes Amis Noel Vintage Christmas Market from TWO YEARS ago! What happened?

Mes Amis Vintage Antique Show in Roseville, California, Spring 2016
One of the great things about going to vintage flea markets is who you meet. When Jordann and I drove down to Junk Bonanza in San Diego we met Sandy, who puts on the Mes Amis Vintage Antique Show three times a year.

Why We’re Moving to Texas From California
We’re moving again. For the 15th time in our 32 years of marriage. But this time is a little different. We’re leaving the only house we ever owned and the home that we’ve lived in the longest. It’s also by far the most expensive house we’ve ever lived in (only because we lived in Northern California). But yet the house itself has never really felt like home to me. BTW, in case you haven't heard, we're moving to Texas from California. We’re supposed to be moving back home. After all, I grew up ... continue reading...
