I don't get much space, just the walls, and I know in a few years those will be off limits to me as they grow older and more picky. This dog canvas however is a fan favorite. I picked it up at T.J.

The moon globe actually sits on a crater-like stand. It was in my booth way back until I realized I was never going to find another 1960's treasure like it, so it is staying, always. I grabbed the deposit sign also at Hunt & Gather for a steal while trolling through the basement with<br />
my friend Celeste Shaw.<br />

It is by far one of my most special pieces. I had three of them in one of my first booths at The Farm Chicks show in Fairfield. Two of Serena's youngest boys bought the other two (which I think they still have) and I decided to keep one for my boys. I love globes. They make any room look amazing, and are multipurpose because they are not only 3D art, but they are interactive too. I pick them up whenever I can find them for a decent price. My mid-century Space coloring book is in perfect condition, sorry boys, no coloring allowed in that one. And I ordered the white wood BOY letters three years ago when I was on bed rest with my youngest boy, with the intent to paint and hang them.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I loved spending the time at Junk Bonanza with my mom and our friends, but for me, the</div> Midwest will always be associated with the first person who told me of this far off land, filled with barns and farms full of "farm fresh" junk (as the American Pickers like to call it).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I met Ann Caster in the spring of 2004 at a life changing show called The Farm Chicks Antique Show (<a href="http://www.thefarmchicks.com/">http://www.thefarmchicks.com/</a>). That fall I was thrilled to be a vendor at that very same show, and visited Ann again. Every Farm Chicks since and around the amazing circuit of shows in our Eastern Washington/North Idaho area, I had the privilege of visiting with Ann, receiving her down to earth advice, enjoying her full laugh and sense of humor, and drooling over her booths. The first vintage furniture I bought was a enamel top, wood legged white on white farm table that I use and will always use in my office, and I bought it from Ann's Nestting booth. My sister Heidi loved working with Ann to design and build her website, my mom loved sharing stories with Ann at every show, and Jennifer and I were blessed when Ann was a vendor at Funky Junk for several years.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Yesterday, I along with Heidi and mom, had the honor of paying our respects to this incredible woman at her funeral. Ann has left a very big hole in this corner of the world, as all who knew her will attest. Her husband Andy and her were partners, truly in marriage and in life, and he was by her side at every show, in the decade of her antiquing business.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Andy's brother told a story at the funeral that illustrated this very obvious fact. (I hope I can do it justice.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Shortly after Ann passed away last week, Andy got in the car to drive to Montana, but he just kept driving. Every year, Andy and Ann took "antique runs" back to the Midwest, side by side in the car, she in the right side passenger seat, usually in her big coat and hat, as the cancer grew. On this drive, as he drove late into the night, Andy eventually put down his coat on the passenger side and then his hat which laid on top of his coat, that was standing up on the seat. Soon, Andy saw Ann. While he knew it was the reflection of his coat and hat in the dashboard, he felt her presence as if she was there. And he could here her saying, just like she did many times; "Andy, it's time to find a place to stop and eat and stay, we've gone over 700 miles, and I'm tired and hungry." And then he remembered Ann's last words to him, "I will never leave you; I will always be on your right side." </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have no doubt she was and will be.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">There wasn't a dry eye, or an untouched person to be found in the church yesterday as her brother in law related Andy's story. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You will be greatly missed Ann. I hope that I can be half the junker/antiquer/wife/woman you were.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Rest in peace, dear friend.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ann Caster, 1950-2011 </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Proverbs 31</div>Hollie Joy In The Morninghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06030495241146670562noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540743834922610711.post-80640608682671560642011-11-11T09:22:00.000-08:002011-11-11T09:22:53.806-08:00Falling for Fall<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5RgkU7ZpmAmrK91xzrYxDW2fmZNKJgLiaU3I6zUp4qFoDWRLb6Beip65IL5pkhJIDKy5NLOi0stMZZUPEiHEROhSCi5RbXtpJpUhgZZbIl9N5CAl6TxBrhae5U0G6FhjrMQ69SjJ5OOa0/s1600/End+of+October+061.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" nda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5RgkU7ZpmAmrK91xzrYxDW2fmZNKJgLiaU3I6zUp4qFoDWRLb6Beip65IL5pkhJIDKy5NLOi0stMZZUPEiHEROhSCi5RbXtpJpUhgZZbIl9N5CAl6TxBrhae5U0G6FhjrMQ69SjJ5OOa0/s320/End+of+October+061.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> It may have taken a month longer than usual here in the heart of the Inland Northwest, Spokane, WA...but when autumn finally arrived, it was spectacularly so.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGGc53b8D6R5yp1iVv8ivMBKE6Fk64k7UM4BGKVBkswN4AA1e9fkgmWzWpeKKe4g6wvC560MB3aY0fUpPg2tY3Bhud5QorkbCmlgHa50_8Jrfx6KJgpkEPmiZQsmyM5hKKgYoWv3MtpJIk/s1600/End+of+October+046.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" nda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGGc53b8D6R5yp1iVv8ivMBKE6Fk64k7UM4BGKVBkswN4AA1e9fkgmWzWpeKKe4g6wvC560MB3aY0fUpPg2tY3Bhud5QorkbCmlgHa50_8Jrfx6KJgpkEPmiZQsmyM5hKKgYoWv3MtpJIk/s320/End+of+October+046.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In the last week of October when the cold snap hit, all the neighborhood deciduous trees changed from green to vibrant oranges, yellows and reds.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkdHcpS_xWrFqwjAPn9f_BLnFeZNfVtxLWWEoZTzPdHafDrk-BH47uPDhNK2l-eJKXYev4hEBKgZaJSwvp7fknvWaRMo6QYuw_R2t6FjLRBR_jyZMb32Yc7_g7Xrw39ohOdeIp8_0T4tFW/s1600/End+of+October+062.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" nda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkdHcpS_xWrFqwjAPn9f_BLnFeZNfVtxLWWEoZTzPdHafDrk-BH47uPDhNK2l-eJKXYev4hEBKgZaJSwvp7fknvWaRMo6QYuw_R2t6FjLRBR_jyZMb32Yc7_g7Xrw39ohOdeIp8_0T4tFW/s320/End+of+October+062.JPG" width="239" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Previously, Mark and I had planted maples and oaks at our new build home, where for a decade we watched them grow and flourish and give a show like no other every fall.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9zlj1sR6cyqIyKJxdZmUJFRUYEbIGC03MwTOJQlsMrP_2gdmyyRaqvqqPSMhSyu16OF8aBaZxJ1dulnStpNYaFydpQqFEcE9Z5JaDdK6vktBGhj5P1uOGmsHji7ft8yK9I_iHnReVqYZQ/s1600/End+of+October+059.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" nda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9zlj1sR6cyqIyKJxdZmUJFRUYEbIGC03MwTOJQlsMrP_2gdmyyRaqvqqPSMhSyu16OF8aBaZxJ1dulnStpNYaFydpQqFEcE9Z5JaDdK6vktBGhj5P1uOGmsHji7ft8yK9I_iHnReVqYZQ/s320/End+of+October+059.JPG" width="239" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Our new/old home has many stately evergreens, but alas, very few leafy trees...so have found ourselves on a treasure hunt this year, our first fall in this place.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9xc67_NLZcxzwdtcsz51RtosoqGpYfpP8_J3eJ0926ZbAKVmkqMSeRgWMjvrMjcijDqqwzsYIno9oDdgDsYBJfi-e4DqfwpzsyoPi7hAvmClG1_MWsUabFcCg8x2XEzSQ_eBIkfEvegNN/s1600/End+of+October+067.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" nda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9xc67_NLZcxzwdtcsz51RtosoqGpYfpP8_J3eJ0926ZbAKVmkqMSeRgWMjvrMjcijDqqwzsYIno9oDdgDsYBJfi-e4DqfwpzsyoPi7hAvmClG1_MWsUabFcCg8x2XEzSQ_eBIkfEvegNN/s320/End+of+October+067.JPG" width="239" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Every day on the way to the bus stop Liam and Finn and I collected some of the hugest (yes, I just used that word) leaves we'd ever seen, to display in our home.

(<a href="http://www.funkyjunkantiqueshow.com/">http://www.funkyjunkantiqueshow.com/</a> ) It is a privelege for Jennifer and I to work alongside so many talented and generous vendors, here are just two of the 30.... <br />

She has been hitting the junking trail for well over a decade, and is skilled and well versed in so many genres. She calls herself a "carpentress" and has lately added to her repretoire designing and building work stations, like the amazing blue one you will see in my Joy Harvest booth. <br />

The pieces I have bought from her are still among my favorites, and I've seen some of the incredible finds she is bringing this time to Sandpoint...her booth is not to miss! <br />

Her booth is a perrennial (or bi-annual, well, anyway, a twice yearly) fan and vendor favorite. This is one of the many gorgeous displays in her home. <br />

We took a long hike both mornings, swam in the afternoon, once in the river (Haden only) and the next day at our neighborhood pool. We slept in tents in our very treed backyard and cooked and ate outside, and allowed no technology, except our phones, which we mostly ignored.

<br />
<br />

Finn enjoyed throwing rocks, and I love the feel of the sand under my toes.

<br />
<br />

The boys also thought they were footrests.
<br />

Being that Haden has food allergies, we modified the boys smores and used Enjoy Life brand chocolate bars, Enjoy Life crunchy Honey Graham round cookies and an assortment of marshmallowss (He was allergic to beef so we used fish gelatin marshmallows for 7 years-he and we think they taste better!) We also cooked our hot dogs over the fire to make it feel more like camping.

Of course, with three little boys, lounging lasts about 15 minutes and Cot-scapades takes up the rest of the time.
<br />
<br />

They badly want a camper now, more than ever.
<br />
<br />

The boys loved seeing the stars "pop out" as it dusk turned to inky sky. We used a stargzing chart to find constellations, Liam (our 5 year old) thought we got to actually find animals in the sky like the pictures in our book illustrated, but we did find some wonder.

Definetly the more fun choice, Mark.

I know many women have special spaces to create; my mom for one has a beautiful one. We love to peruse Where Women Create <a href="http://www.wherewomencreate.com/">http://www.wherewomencreate.com/</a> as well, and someday I hope to have such a space, but in the meantime, often it takes me physically leaving my home to go and recharge my creativity.

And he is literally holding in his hands our three sweeties, on an AMAZING canvas print I was able to give him for Father's Day. The very lovely and talented Deb Kennedy of <a href="http://retreatdesign.blogspot.com/">http://retreatdesign.blogspot.com/</a> had a generous giveaway a couple months back and I won-hooray!! She teamed up with the super nice Megan Edgeller who works for Easy Canvas Prints and BuildASign.com. (<a title="http://www.easycanvasprints.com/canvas-prints/" href="http://www.easycanvasprints.com/canvas-prints/">http://www.easycanvasprints.com/canvas-prints/</a><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)">). I had such a great time making and recieving this beautiful picture transformed into a canvas print-it's a treasure for Mark, just like he and the boys are treasures to me!</span></div>
