Road Trip

The boys & I went on a road trip yesterday since Lucas was off work. He had worked six days straight. It gave him driving time. More practice. Yeah! We visited the shop where my creations are on consignment. When we opened the shop door the store keeper said your the doll lady & I sold a doll & I have to tell you what we are doing. He said we are closing the shop. My heart sank. Then he continued with only for the month of August. He said an auction company would be picking up all the shop items this weekend. He told me I could take my creations home with me or he would pack them & store them. He told me they would be using the shop area to expand their cafe & the little room where they have tables would be rented to an antique dealer. He told me he still wanted to sell my dolls & other creations in his cafe. I was asked if I could have fall creations ready by September & Christmas creations ready by December. Well I will be working on some new creations in the weeks to come as time allows while the cafe is getting a fresh new color of paint. I was happy he still wanted my creations & hear how much he loves the dolls. He also told me what all creations had sold. He was as tickled as I was that one of the dolls sold this month. He told me the lady was so happy with the doll & she even bought the chair to set her in. I love to hear that one of my creations that God has allowed me to create brings so much joy to the buyer. The boys & I stopped for supper out on the way home. This was a fun treat for all of us. No dishes for mom or kitchen to clean. Yeah!

This is the doll that sold this month. Andy is # 10 in my jointed doll collection.

Beautiful lilies are in bloom. I love the vivid colors of their throats.

A basket of fresh green beans have been picked to steam & some onions have been dug.

Atlee his girlfriend Samantha & my Granddaughters gave me this beautiful black wall cabinet. I do so love it. For now it hangs in the kitchen entry way. I hope to have one of Maggies sisters done very soon. When I do I will be asking you all to help name her. Wishing you all a good night as I close this post & sending thanks for all your prayers you have lifted & layed at our saviors feet.

Blessings Til Next Time!
