Friday night Kelly and I packed our children up and dropped them off with my sister and her family for the night.
We weren’t heading away on a romantic weekend alone…..we were heading home to finish getting things ready for the Horseshoe Market in the morning.
I am not an early morning person.
I am not a morning person.
OK…the truth is I don’t even like to wake up!
I usually wake up between 8 and 9.
Some of my friends got a big kick out of me waking up at 4:30am to get to the show in time.
With coffee in hand Kelly and I packed up my Jeep and his truck.
Let me stop myself right here and tell you that any man that gets up at 4:30 am, packs up vehicles and smiles at you too….that man is a keeper!
Our time to set up was slotted for 6:30 and the show started at 9:00.
We don’t do many shows because it is just too hard with the kids still being younger…but I love them!
I love the planning, the hard work, setting up, meeting new artists, meeting new customers, meeting people that read my blog and own pieces from previous collections.
That is truly the highest compliment when a people travels to see you in person!
Thank you to all of you that took the time to come by on Saturday…you always make my day.
This was my first time doing the Horseshoe Market and I heard that the numbers were down from the last show but it had to be the weather.
It was still an amazing turnout but the HEAT was so intense that I don’t know if I would have been walking around a market that day.
The Horseshoe Market had so many amazing and unique artists.
Not only were the booths truly better than most shows in the area but the food was really good too!
Right near our booth were a few amazing food vendors. Â This is what the Horseshoe Market does really well.
They had a coffee van (amazing coffee and smoothies), pizza, BBQ etc. Â I had GLUTEN FREE pizza for lunch…no joke!
Can you believe that!!
I will go back just for that..lol!
It was sooooo good.
A show is always better with really good food.
We worked so hard and sweated so much!
Once we got home we unloaded our trucks and then I turned around to go pick up the children.
I think I got home around 8pm.
I was pretty much delusional when I collapsed into bed around 9:30.
Kelly said something to me about how proud he is at how hard I work and I mumbled  something to him about his hard work and helping me as I was drifting to sleep.
Thanks again to all of you that made your way to the market!
I had such a great time and I loved doing the show with Kelly.
I think I will keep him..I just hope he wants to keep me!
(Kelly showing off his handy work at hanging the branches. Â I just wanted to see the dimples:-) I love this man.)
oh goodness, he is a honey indeed!!!

How wonderful does your stall look 🙂 Wish we had markets like that here in Aus…Can’t wait for my order…Take care C xx
Okay, your booth is amazing and inspiring… but how much you love your husband really stands out!!
xo~
Yep! He’s definitely a keeper! 😉 I love the photos of your stall set up – wow. It made me seriously want to walk through it and look at all the amazing things you have created! (OK, so had I been there I probably would have parted with some of my cash too! LOL)
Hope you recover from it all quickly (a sleep in is probably a good start, right?),

I agree he is a keeper! Love your beautiful booth.
Absolutely beautiful pictures – and a very nice little “shop”.
I wish I could have come by – to say hi to you and to see your beautiful creations.
Greetings from Susan
Another fellow blogger told me she went to the market and she almost died of heat stroke after 3 hours! Congratulations for the early wake up, beautiful set up ,and for survivng the heat! I am not a morning person myself, but somehow if antiquing or shopping is involved I get these magical powers and can jump right out of bed to make it on time! Drink lots of water today and have a good nap with your kiddos!
Happy Monday!

I loved your booth and your styling… such a wonderful little shop.
My girlfriend Jody from Iowa met you this weekend! Boy was I jealous when I saw the picture of the two of you on FB. I so want one of your ruffled bags with the yellow flower, too cute! Your booth was very drool worthy I might add and I hope one day to go to the Horsesoe Market.

Is your Ellison bag really truly sold out? I really wanted one for my 50th birthday from my hubby! Blah! Shouldn’t have waited so long to tell him. I love my camera but HATE carrying it around in it’s ugly black camera case. If you have just one left… I’d love it 😉 please?
