Simply VintageAugust 2, 2014
Hello my friends.
Today I am going to write about a store that can best be described as a "one stop shop" for vintage, antiques, uniques, local artisans of art, jewelry, stained glass original pine needle pieces, war items, mosaics, furniture, re-purposed pieces and more.
I having been shopping in antique, vintage, consignment and "unique" stores since I was 5 years old, then being accompanied by my Mom, "Frieda". It was that experience with her discerning eye, that I have continued to be a part of this world of old and one of kind pieces.
Simply Vintage has moved to 419 East 5th St., Summerville, SC. It houses over 75 local vendors as well as consignment pieces. Simply Vintage was sisters with "The Tea Farm Cottage" and now houses all vendors under one roof. It has over 2,000 square feet of treasures. It has the largest "shop" of painted furniture in Summerville and has many original re-purposed items as well as salvage pieces.
Each individual shop is painted a unique color that sets it apart from other shops. There is an artist in the "house" that has done murals on the walls as well as floors. The creativity bounds and makes for a pleasurable shopping experience.
If they were to describe themselves this is what they would say:
Simply Vintage and The Tea Farm Cottage work as one store that is very eclectic. We carry candles, jewelry, fine art, repurposed furniture, antiques, dolls, garden items, and so much more. We have 80+vendors as well as many quality consignment pieces. We have a dedicated "Garden Shop" with many collectibles. The store has experienced sales help to satisfy even the most particular customer. We participate in many of the Third Thursdays at Short Central for a taste of what you will find in our store. Call Simply Vintage for booth rental or your consignment needs.
Stay tuned for the "Simply Vintage" Open House in September. I'll be the first one on line!
See you there.

Flea MarketsJanuary 27, 2014
Flea market comes from the French marché aux puces, a name originally given to a market in Paris which specialized in shabby second-hand goods of the kind that might contain fleas. The earliest English use that the 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary has found dates from 1922.
Car boot sale, Braderie, Farmers' market, Garage sale, Hamfest, Pasar malam, Swap meet and White elephant sales are all different versions of what we know as "Flea markets".
In the time of the Emperor Napoleon III, the imperial architect Haussmann made plans for the broad, straight boulevards with rows of square houses in the center of Paris, along which army divisions could march with much pompous noise. The plans forced many dealers in second-hand goods to flee their old dwellings; the alleys and slums were demolished. These dislodged merchants were, however, allowed to continue selling their wares undisturbed right in the north of Paris, just outside of the former fort, in front of the gate Porte de Clignancourt. The first stalls were erected in about 1860. The gathering together of all these exiles from the slums of Paris was soon given the name "marché aux puces", meaning "flea markets".
Many markets offer fresh produce, unique products and plants from local farms. Renters of the flea market are vendors. It may be indoors, as in a warehouse or school gymnasium; or outdoors, as in a field or parking lot or under a tent. Flea markets can be held annually or semiannually, others may be conducted monthly, on weekends, or daily. Flea-market vendors may range from a family that is renting a table for the first time to sell a few unwanted household items, to scouts who rove the region buying items for sale from garage sales and other flea markets, and several staff watching the stalls.
Different English-speaking countries use various names for flea markets. In Australian English, they are also called 'trash and treasure markets'. In the Philippine English, the word is tianggê, believed to be a loanword from the Hokkien spoken by Chinese Filipino emigrants, or possibly from the Nahuatl tianguis via Mexican Spanish, supplanting the indigenous term talipapâ. In India it is known as gurjari or shrukawadi bazaar or even as juna bazaar. In the United Kingdom they are known as "car boot sales" if the event takes place in a field or car park, as the vendors will sell goods from the 'boot' (called "trunk" in American English) of their car. If the event is held indoors, such as a school or church hall, then it is usually known as either a "jumble sale", or a "bring and buy sale". In Quebec and France, they are often called "Marché aux puces", while in French-speaking areas of Belgium, the name Brocante is normally used.
Albert Lafarge writes that one of the first American flea markets was the Monday Trade Days in Canton, Texas, which began in 1873 as a place where people would go to buy horses; later, they brought their own goods to sell or trade. Other towns quickly adopted this pattern of trade, but the modern flea market was supposedly the brainchild of Russell Carrell, an east-coast antique show organizer. Working as an auctioneer in Connecticut, Carrell thought to run an antique show like an outdoor auction, only forgoing the tent, because fire hazards were too expensive to insure. Carrell's 1956 Hartford open-air antiques market was claimed to be the first modern incarnation of the flea market, although the true flea market does not consist of professional antique dealers, but rather of people looking to make some extra money on the side.
While the concept existed in places such as what are now India, Bangladesh, and China for millennia, the origins of the term "flea market" are disputed. According to one theory, the Fly Market in 18th-century New York City began the association. The Dutch word vlaie (also spelt vlie, meaning "swamp" or "valley") was located at Maiden Lane near the East River in Manhattan. The land on which the market stood was originally a salt marsh with a brook, and by the early 1800s the "Fly Market" was the city's principal market.
The definition of a "good" flea market to me is when there are multiple vendors with eclectic tastes that "err" on the vintage side. If I go to a market that is selling socks or food, I'm not going to be hooked in. The two best flea markets that I have attended have been the Metrolina Extravaganza in Charlotte, NC and "Montsweag Flea Market in Woolwich, Maine on Wednesdays. They are open Wednesday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday but, the "real collectibles" and antiques are on Wednesday.
On my bucket list is going to Texas for Canton and Round Top, in NYC the Brooklyn Flea and of course in Massachusetts, Brimfield. I'd like to get a small air stream and take off on the chase!
Happy flea marketing for your favorite collectibles!

(Metrolina) Charlotte, NC and the (Catawba River Antiques Mall)November 5, 2013
Hello y'all!
What a fabulous weekend I had. I drove 3 hours from Summerville, SC to Belmont, NC. on Friday the 1st! If you haven't been to Belmont it has turned out to be a darling small town filled with specialty stores including antiques and lots of good restaurants. My husband and I both went to college in Belmont, he to Belmont Abbey and me to Sacred Heart. We used to go to the Belmont Grill which is no longer there, to sit and "spoon". Oh those 60′s were fun!
Only one mile from the town is the newly opened, (Catawba River Antiques Mall). Belmont like lots of other small towns in the South had mills and that's where this new shop is. There will be 372 vendor booths in the 67,000 sq. ft. building. They will be adding a cafe and offer two customer lounges with WiFi and flat screen TV's. They are going to have live auctions and special events coming up. As of now, they have 230 booths rented out. We saw a lot of vintage, antique and specialty "unique items" on display. I scored a silver tin "soap dish" for only $5.00. I have a collection of over 30 soap containers and they look great all clustered together outside of our bathroom in Maine. My sister Leslie also got a book on WWII for a Christmas gift for her husband. Jacque was searching for a "rooster print" and found one, but didn't want to part with $40.00. We had lunch at "Sammy's" which is a local rustic place with great food! Fun!
On Saturday morning, we left at 9:00 am for the (Metrolina) in Charlotte, NC. They say that all of the good stuff is "snatched up" at the crack of dawn, but it couldn't have been because it was packed to the rafters at the open flea market section. It did cost us $10.00 each, but we justified it because there were no parking fees and there were plenty of clean places to eat! There must have been over 300 vendors outside. Then there were around 10 "Specialty Stores" which had Americana, mixed with vintage and home goods. It was in one of these stores that Jacque finally scored and got a reproduction tin of roosters with all of the colors she liked! I also found a Martini Shaker for $10.00 that worked instead just looking good!
We had no sooner got there and started strolling down "Piccadilly Lane" and I met Janet who had a 1950′s high chair with a "celluloid top" that was in pristine condition and only cost $28.00. The high chair was on my priority list as baby Logan, our new grandson is coming for Thanksgiving from NJ and he'll be 10 months old, perfect for this seat! The next items I bought, not on my priority list, but it was "love at first sight". A regency style coffee table painted turquoise with a mirrored art deco top. Be still my heart. Jacque said, Tina where will you put it? I could not justify it, but knew "I had to have it". As you can see from the picture, it fits perfectly in our bedroom between our wing chairs where we sit in to have our morning coffee every day that we can.
My husband Frank would have loved this flea market as it had some great "junk" displayed. Old pieces of cars, containers that could be made into lamps, tools and lots of rustic "man stuff"! He would have been digging deep into all of the bins. One booth just had hardware including metal finials, hinges, knobs and you name it they had it! It was a "do it your selfers" paradise. Great prices at the flea market as the venders don't have to pay a lot for their space. The shops had higher prices and the large building at the end of the flea market that housed all of the "fine antiques" was top dollar, but the pieces were in pristine condition and some were "one of a kind".
What a great weekend, and then home to Jacque's where her husband was prepping for "crab cakes" and made us fabulous "Bloody Mary's". I am fortunate to have my sister and good friends that live in Matthews, NC right outside of Charlotte & Belmont. I'm looking forward to the next "Metrolina Extravaganza" and hope that Les & Frank have room for us!
It's been fun sharing my recent travels with you and can't wait to write about my next adventure.
Until we meet again!

Shades of Grey! Painting our living room a new color after 4 years of neutral tan!October 29, 2013
Hey Y'all.
The pictures above are of a mahogany chair that I bought at a yard sale over 15 years ago. I thought I would always be in love with dark wood, but now that we are in 2014, I thought I would try to lighten up the look. The story will enfold after my adventure with "Shades Of Grey"!
After 4 years of living in this new home, we decided it was time to paint. The color which was a neutral tan was nice at first, but after a while after the "new smell" wears off, the color dims as well and in my decorating vocabulary spells "boring"!
I have a new "love affair" with grey which every designer is saying is the new neutral so I chose a color from Lowe's and then fingers crossed we forged ahead. We have a very large living room in the middle of our one floor house and it doesn't have any windows in it. We get light from the kitchen and den that surround it, so using grey even though its light is a risk. I'm convinced that it's all in the lighting. Frank added small pin lights above which made a big difference. This house was a big tease as the builders only put molding in the foyer and the dining room, but when you walked into the living room, no molding. The design of the molding in the dining room was top molding and then painting under that with another layer of molding under the paint. We call it "faux molding" as it tricks the eye into thinking that the whole thing is wood.
We finished the painting and found that the grey we picked shows so many moods, depending what time of day it is. It can be a little dark with shadows, but it can also look like, I imagine a Paris morning would look like. I like the sound of that, "Paris Grey". I bought "Paris Grey" (Annie Sloan paints) from Marigolds a wonderful store here in Summerville, SC and I already had a darker grey, compliments of my son Jerry, who knows I had projects in mind. I knew that once we had finished painting the walls I would need to spiff up our furniture. This is where my husband, Frank always says, decorating is a "hoax" as you do one thing and it leads to another. Isn't it true then whenever you try to change one thing everything else just doesn't measure up.
Of course, I really want some new furniture, but I'm trying to be frugal and make do with what I have. My chairs and love seat were purchased in the mid 90′s. Hello! I don't think it's unreasonable to want something new after 18 years. I painted a mahogany chair that I had purchased at a yard sale in NJ years ago, white which turned out to be too stark. I covered it with the "dark grey" Annie Sloan paint and it was too dark, then I added the Paris grey and the clear wax. Now it's just right! See the pictures above. Hope you like the finished product as much as I do. My next project will be to paint our living room chairs the same color and then get them slipcovered! I know a great source here in Summerville, SC if anyone is interested!
We have two walls flanking our fireplace. On one side, I have a grouping of things that I've collected over the years and the other side we created a gallery wall and the grey that we used really makes the black & white photography pop! Frank made the shelves himself and we staggered them. The top shelves are for art work and photographs taken by our son and the bottom for family photos. I inherited my Mom's black piano and small black bookcase and they look fabulous against the wall. Black really does "ground" a room.
Our children and families will be joining us at Thanksgiving and I can't wait to show them all that we've done. One of my daughter-in-laws used to refer to our house as "Grandma's house and now I'm hoping that she sees our new look as a little "glammed up"! Our next project will be the den, but that will have to be another story.
Hope you've enjoyed our painting and decorating journey and look forward to writing again soon. This weekend I am off to Charlotte, NC where I am going to a brand new antiques mall called "The Catawba River Antiques Mall" in Belmont, NC and the Metrolina Flea Market in Charlotte. I will be taking lots of pictures so stay tuned.
Until we meet again!

Summer to Fall Fireplace Mantle DecoratingOctober 10, 2013
Hi you all! Happy Fall to all of my friends that like to decorate for the changing seasons.
I don't know where you store your seasonal themed items, but I have a pantry that does
not hold any food and I call it my "prop" room. This is the room that I can pull from
when I want to stage a room according to whatever time a year it is. Everything but Christmas is in the room as I needed a whole closet for that holiday. I have all of my beachy, summer things in a box, my fall items which include Halloween and Thanksgiving, winter which includes my red and silver pop items, Valentine's Day and then of course, I can't skip St. Patrick's Day, Easter and it starts up all over again.
I have edited a lot through the years, but I'm a collector so you know how that story goes. It's something that you can't stop! In fact I'm going to the Charlotte Metrolina" Extravaganza" this November, but that's a story for another time.
I'm looking at my fireplace mantle and it just won't cut it for fall. It's also a stretch, as it's still in the 80′s most days, but I am used to four seasons and I'm going to trick our house into it. I'm going to show you a picture of what the mantle looks like in the summer. It's very driftwood, beachy as we are fairly near the beach and I love that look. I have a large apothecary glass jar filled with sand, shells and star fish. I have an old tin painted in the Turquoise family up on the wall as my focal point. I purchased the "tin piece" at "The Squirrel's Nest" in Summerville, SC Here is Summer.
When I think of fall, I think of burnt oranges, reds and browns. I packed my summer away and started anew! I decided to use my silver Champagne bucket and filled it with gourds and my long bird feathers that I've been collecting for ages. Then I decided my focal point on the wall would be a print by the Maine Artist Bjorn Runquist. I love the look of propping art up against the wall, but I had already drilled holes for my "summer installation", so I was stuck on that one. Since I had decided not to buy anything new, I had to rely on what I already had. I needed a pop of red so I hung a small plate with a touch of gold and red on it and I anchored one end with two sisal covered jugs that I had scored at a previous yard sale. We are going into Halloween and I do have a 6 yr. old Grandson that may come over, so I had to put a pumpkin on as well.
The funny thing is that my husband is putting up molding all around our great room and we are going to be painting the walls a light grey. Will I have to re-decorate after painting? Hope so, as it's so much fun coming up with different combinations.
I am no HGTV Design Star but, at least I stick my neck out and try new things! So if you are doing the same old thing, I am challenging you to change it up! Put away all of those old Thanksgiving table cloths and get out the burlap and use it as a runner! This is also the time of year that I shine what silver I have. It always makes a room glisten when you trot out your pieces to put on your buffet and I can remember my Mom doing it. Memories! Bring on the company and holidays!
Happy Halloween and until we meet again….

Park Circle History and a new kid on the block "Park Circle Antiques Mall"October 7, 2013
Hello my friends. I'm excited to be blogging about all things Park Circle! Above is a picture of the new kid on the block in Park Circle!
In July of 2013, the "Park Circle Antiques Mall" opened its doors on the corner of East Montague and Virginia Avenue. This is just what Park Circle needed, new blood coming in, giving jobs to lots of antiques vendors as well as stimulating the growing popularity of the Park Circle area. When you enter Park Circle Antiques Mall it is broken up into small "shop's" and you can find Vintage, Antiques, Repurposed, new & unique gift items which is a perfect combination of something for everyone. My first visit had me buying "Kentucky Derby" glasses at a great price and because we always go to a Kentucky Derby Party every year, I now have a cool gift to bring! Remember when you buy used, old, vintage, antique you are "buying a story". All of the great designers of old and new always put "stories" into the rooms that they design by layering in pieces from different era's. That is how my own mother became a collector. She bought one "transferware plate" in the 40′s and then saw another and another. Our house was filled with little collections and vignettes that told a story. It had personality and I thank her for her unerring taste that has helped me to achieve the look that I love, collected and eclectic!
Park Circle which was once a "blue-collar" neighborhood is giving birth to a younger population who are coming in to fix up old houses, to shop on the circle and frequent the restaurants.
"Park Circle" was mostly covered by plantations before the Civil War. Then the Charleston Navy Yard was expanded in the 1940′s and carried strong until it closed in the mid 90′s. Park Circle suffered a decline in retail businesses, restaurants and home ownership because of so many people losing their jobs. The Noisette Company, which owns 32 acres within a planned development district on North Charleston's Navy Yard helped to renovate the parts of Park Circle that had fallen into disrepair by investing in the community that they were a part of.
Now you will find several ball fields, picnic tables, a gazebos and a playground. There is a Farmer's Market at the Davis Community Center as well as other events. The restaurants in Park Circle are very good and include Cork (a hip Bistro), Madra Rua (an Irish Pub), Evo (specialty Pizzas) and Fratello's Italian (Comfort Food). Whenever we eat at Park Circle, we are struck by how many people know each other. That's what is so "cool" about a small community.
In 2012, " This Old House magazine" named Park Circle as a "Best Old-House Neighborhood." The people who were purchasing the old homes were updating the inside but keeping the integrity of the outside and the era that they were built. They also went on to say, that it was a very "affordable neighborhood" and only 15 minutes away from downtown Charleston and 20 minutes from the beaches in Mt. Pleasant!
When my daughter Regan (who lives in NYC) announced that she was moving to the Charleston area and wanted to buy a small Bungalow with a yard, trees, and a part of a close-knit community, I immediately thought of Park Circle! She is an AVP with a large insurance company, but she is also an artist and that's the vibe that Park Circle is giving off these days!
I would also like to give a "nod" to my Chiropractor, Dr. Jay Schwartz who has a business called "Park Circle Chiropractic Center" which is located on North Rhett Avenue, in Park Circle. Dr. Schwartz specializes in Deflexology.
Ok, every one, let's all go over to Park Circle and do some exploring! See you at Park Circle Antiques Mall!

2014 Color Trends for Design, Decorating & FashionOctober 1, 2013
Hello my fellow antique & vintage lovers!
Last year after doing a lot of research, I talked about Emerald Green as being the "it" color. It won't
be holding steadfast for 2014, but you will be seeing green in the form of "acid green" It will be more of an accent color, but the real stars will be blues. Teal, Turquoise, navy. Pantone Colors have released
their new fashion colors which is always a precursor to how designers for both interiors and the fashion
world will folow. They named their two blues "Placid Blue" which they are saying is a true neutral as it
denotes calmness. They also named one "Dazzling" Blue which they feel can be mixed with all of the blues for a big pop!
HGTV explains that: "Color forecasters are part designer, part sociologist and part predictor. They draw information from the runway, auto manufacturers and the housewares industry; they scour showrooms, trade shows and magazines for trends; they consider what's happening culturally and how this impacts our national mood. Then they take all of that information and translate it into what colors we'll be wearing and decorating with in the next year."
"The housing crisis, ongoing war, historic election and economic downturn have combined to shape Americans' color tastes. We're searching for the color equivalent of mac and cheese: safe, traditional and comforting. But the pops of bright colors, from crimson to acid yellow, suggest that we're ultimately hopeful about the future."
Neutrals are always in, especially in larger purchases like cars, sofas or carpet. "For those big-ticket items, we'll make the safer choice such as neutrals, from rich gray to camel," says Emily Kiker Morrow, Director of Color, Style and Design at Shaw Industries. And, she continues, "We're using trendier colors, like acid green or amethyst, as accent pieces."
Both color forecasters see chocolate brown on the wane, though Turner notes that brown is still the go-to color in nearly every industry, from auto manufacturing to fashion to home. The guard is changing, however, as lighter browns begin to make an appearance. Morrow says, "We're seeing browns shift to the colors of spices and beverages. Think mocha and cinnamon."
Which neutral might just surpass brown as the favorite? Gray. And it covers a wide range of hues, which span soft gray to charcoal to hematite, and gain interest from metallic and pearlescent accents.
Green continues to gain strength from its association with the growing shift toward eco-consciousness. It will show up in everything from fabrics to accessories to countertops.
Pink and red are "the colors of causes." and they are popping up in rooms everywhere.
You'll see red as a bold accent in black-and-white designs; and look for pink in romantic bedrooms, the modern girl's living room or even in the kitchen, from cabinetry to appliances.
Violet came in through the back door, catching fire in the goth trend in high schools (think purple-black T-shirts, eyeliner and fingernail polish). From there it made its way to the runway and now it's lightening as it crosses into the home; popular variations include violet, wine and true purple. Pantone has released a Violet hue called "Violet Tulip" which they say evokes a Vintage Nostalgia.
Hot Color Combos
Just as the popularity of single colors waxes and wanes, so does the popularity of color combinations.
Brown and blue has been a favorite for several years turning up in designs for chairs and showing a little nod to "Mid Century" but the browns will be changing from Chocolate to tans, camel and caramel.
For the last few years, black and white has been a popular combination in the European market, but Turner has noticed that it's making its way across the pond. While Morrow has seen it more in accent pieces, like textiles and wallpaper, Turner suggests it will take over entire rooms and recommends pairing it with hot accent colors like red or acid green for the latest look.
What's Not Selling?
While you'll see elegant gold in designs from traditional to Tuscan, don't look for sunny true yellows in American homes (though Europeans love them).
Orange is another color that's getting little love, unless you choose corals or an earthy, deep orange. But even then, these are used only as accents. Pantone has released their orange called "Celosia Orange" and it was love at first sight when I saw it. No, I would paint a room in it, but for accents new or old it's in! Again a nod to Mid Century when orange was really in.
The trend toward violet, wine and amethyst is edging out soft lavenders or true purples. These colors, which were so popular in the 1980s, have taken a back seat to their bolder cousins.
The decorating trends have shifted. For the first time in several years I did not hear the word "Global" as a reference. We will still be seeing chevrons, zig zag, and stripes on rugs. Contemporary and playful wallpaper is still being shown on a "signature" wall. Mid Century is strong and although it spells "spare" the accents are almost always vintage! Decorating rustic paired with white slipcovers is still hot anything that is made with "reclaimed wood" is everywhere.
We are changing out our tan walls for a pale grey and I'm so excited. I have a ledge in my great room with black & white pictures that I think will look more dramatic against grey. Maybe a little Hollywood! The grey is the only contemporary thing that I own, still love my mahogony round coffee table filled with my collection of Match Book covers on a mirrored tray. I'll post a icture when we're done and she what you think!
Let's get some new colors on our walls, pillows and accents! The holidays are coming! Happy decorating!

Upcycled & Reclaimed Design & Consign Store! Talking about a " new kid" on the Vintage block!September 22, 2013
Hello my friends!
Had a wonderful day yesterday with my daughter-in-law Paula! Went to my Grandson's football game and then we were off to hunt up new and old stores! That's right, there is a new kid on the block that I just discovered! It's called Hoardin' Helen's and they are everything about Reclaimed & Upcycle finds! They also have a few "new" cool things sprinkled in as well. Most things look like one of a kind and very "hipster"! They are located on Clements Ferry Rd, next the Tailgators! They had a lot of metal letters both large and medium sized. Lots of things made from galvanized tin married with very unique and unexpected things! If you are looking for a one of kind look to "jazz" up your home this is the place to shop! Let's go shopping!
We also stopped to see Glenda at "FYND" which is off of 17N. She showcases a lot of mid-century lamps and one of a kind light fixtures as well as books, original art, furniture, jewelry and more! Everything has a story and patina. Just love this store. Prices are very reasonable and she has lots of sales.
On the way back we stopped at SC Thrift which looks like it houses over 100 vendors. Although there were some cool
things to see, it was very large and nothing really "popped" out at us. I think the problem was that there are no inner walls so the "shops" seemed to be floating with no backdrop so they were hard to stage. One of the vendors has a very large collection of "33 records" for anyone who is a collector!
Got to run! We're having company come to stay with us this coming weekend and that means I get to "stage" their
rooms! I should be cleaning, but decorating is more fun! I took off all of the covers of my books and grouped them by color! Paula has done this in her bookcase and your eye is drawn to the "like" colors! Brilliant idea! Thanks Paula and Emily Henderson who does this when she styles her rooms for clients!
Until we meet again!

Cottage Collectibles, Summerville, SCSeptember 19, 2013
Hello my friends,
My last blog was on the top 10 cottage collectibles as reported by the magazine "Cottages & Bungalow's". I was determined to see if the antique stores in Summerville had any of these collectibles.
I walked the streets of Summerville and found out that every store had something unique and different to offer. Summerville Antique Stores had examples of 9 out of the ten so they are officially the winner! Main Street Antiques was the only store to have an example of a "cabin blanket" and this one looked like it was "American Indian" made. The Tea Farm had the most Vintage Silver and Simply Vintage had the most in the "Vintage Millinery" category. Main Street Antiques & The Squirrel's Nest had wonderful treasures in the "Notions" category. Main Street had a Vintage Spool Holder with advertising. The Squirrel's Nest had a "Vintage Needle Holder" with advertising. How much fun did I have doing my own little scavenger hunt.
Then I was off to Maine for two months where I work on our house that was built in 1849. The floors are all slanted and you can put a cue ball down in the dining room and in a second it will be in the living room. Our big project this year was sanding and redoing our bedroom floor. The men behind the desk at Spears (which is like a large Ace Hardware) had very grim faces when I came into their department early one morning to rent a large sander. The man helping me must have said to me at least 7 times and who is going to get this out of the truck when you get home and are you sure you can do this? Just goes to show how other people perceive us and how we all still think we can do everything. Not true. We should have listened to him. After hauling this monster up the stairs that are narrow and steep we literally became a slave to it for over 12 hours. The clean up last over two days and I'm sure that we didn't get all of the dust out. The boards had been covered with a large piece of linoleum which they used like a rug. The linoleum was stuck in clumps to the floor and I thought we'd never be finished. I wish I had taken a before and after picture to show you, but it looks wonderful now that it's behind us! Another project was started by one of our sons in the back yard and turned over to the rest of us when he left. He carved out a path in the woods behind our house. The two owners before us used the woods as a graveyard for anything glass and tin. He must have found 100′s of little blue glass Noxema jars and bottles of every color. Pots, pans, collenders, you name it and we found it! My other son Dennis found an old toy gun and part of a truck that were rusted, but still looked cool. I saw lots of broken jadite which broke my heart. Unfortunately, this will be an ongoing project as we ran out of time.
I hope everyone had a great summer and I'm looking forward to "falling" into Autumn and will be reporting about more adventures soon.
Until we meet again,
Tina Cahalan

Protects the artwork from dust and wilting so that it can be admired for many years.
Adds depth to an image and works with the moulding to enhance and protect the artwork.
Bonds to the artwork ensuring it is perfectly smooth and holds the whole frame together.
We partner with the world's top museums and galleries to bring you exclusive prints of the highest quality. Our teams of designers ensure the colours are accurate, papers are well suited and the best frames are suggested.
In the printing room, artworks are printed on state-of-the-art machines with a team of technicians checking colour and quality every step of the way.
After being cut down to size, our team carefully finish any stray edges, check measurements and prepare the prints for mounting and framing.
We have a team of master framers who work with high-quality, responsibly-sourced wood to create our vast range of framing combinations - each frame is bespoke and made to order for every print.
Our selection of hand-finished frames are painted or stained by hand in a variety of colours, and finished with a layer of wax - the end result is a uniquely crafted, beautiful frame that is made to last.
In this workshop everything comes together - the print, the frame and the glass - in a seamless and stream-lined process.
The artwork is carefully mounted in preparation for framing.
Once mounted, the print is ready to be covered by glass or perspex - a delicate procedure but expertly done with not a fingerprint in sight.
After a final, thorough check, the framed print is ready to be carefully packaged up and shipped to the customer.
For those who order their art as canvas prints, the same amount of attention and care goes into the process. Here, the print is being transferred to a wooden frame.
As with the framed prints, our canvases are all hand-finished in the workshop - a labour of love from start to finish.

Snakes in Arkansas - Snake Identification Tips
© 2014, Brandon Cornett | All rights reserved | Duplication prohibited
Because of its climate and location, the state of Arkansas is home to many different snake species. If you have seen a snake in Arkansas recently and you're wondering what type of snake it was, the resources below will help you.
Information on Arkansas Snakes
Arkansas Game and Fish Commission
The AGFC website has some great information about the various species of snakes found in Arkansas. Pictures, descriptions and more. According to this resource: "Arkansas is home to 36 species of snakes, six of which are venomous."
The Serious Six
The title of this tutorial relates to the fact that there are six venomous snakes in Arkansas you should be aware of -- the copperhead, the timber rattlesnake, the pigmy rattlesnake, the cottonmouth, the western diamondback, and the the coral snake. These are the only venomous snakes native to Arkansas and they are explained in this article
Wikipedia Weighs In
The Wikipedia website has a list of snakes in Arkansas with links to related information about each species. Just click on the thumbnail image or hyperlink for the species you are interested in, and you'll be presented with more information on that type of Arkansas snake.
Identify Snakes From a Safe Distance
This is a good spot for some safety advice. When trying to identify Arkansas snakes in the wild, always do so from a safe distance. Unless you are a snake expert, you could easily mistake a harmless snake for a venomous one. And even the harmless snakes should be left alone in the wild. They are interesting to watch, but they need to be given their space.

Hello Everyone,
I'm new to the forum and I've come across some great information here. I am trying to repair my credit. I have a score of 599. I'm making sure that my bills are paid on time and keeping my utilization low. I have 2 collections, a 30 day late on a retail credit card and an auto loan that has some late payments and is listed as a collection/paid charge off. My last payment was a couple months late. I was always in contact with the auto representatives and was never informed that the account was going into collections or was being charged off. I paid the account in full last year.
I sent a dispute letters for the auto loan to the CRAs. I read in a book that I should send dispute letters by mail because sending emails limit some of your options(don't know if this is true). Anyway, I didn't include my email address in the letter but I received a response back from Equifax that is an email. In the email it states "To accept receipt of the results of your investigation online, please click on this hyperlink." Should I click on the hyperlink? Does this limit later options? Not sure what I should do. Any help or responses would be appreciated.
The statute requires the CRA to send written Notice of Results of Reinvestigation by mail within 5 days after completion of the dispute, unless the consumer has specifically authorized receipt by "other means," such as electronic. Online disputes provide such an authorization. If you sent a written dispute that did no expressly include such an authorization, they are clearly in violation.
"FCRA 611(a)(6)(A).
A consumer reporting agency shall provide written notice to a consumer of the results of a reinvestigation under this section not later than 5 business days after completion of the reinvestigation, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by other means available to the agency."
Thanks for your reply and the information. I'll wait for correspondence by mail.
03-08-2013 10:41 AM - edited 03-08-2013 10:42 AM
As an aside, I would recommend avoiding all of the silliness that accompanies a dispute filed through a CRA by using the alternate direct dispute process.
Not only does it avoid your specific issue, it also avoids the CRA practice of not forwarding all of your supporting documentation to the furnisher, as is their standard practice under their e-OSCAR process. Direct disputes ensure that all of your supporting documentation and arguments are received by the furnisher.
Online disputes are the worst, as they require the consumer to sanitize their own disputes, and in my opinion, should definately be avoided.
Great! I think I'm on the right track. I'm sending letters by mail and keeping copies of everything!

Since I was a young guy, I always thought that ladies like you to be tough man who shows no emotions and who seems to be totally independent and cold. I thought that those sort of guys get all the chicks and that they are the ones who are getting laid. Surely, they do, but experience thought me that there is nothing like a musical romantic comedy film to get your woman in the mood for some loving.
Women love being romantic and they are the most prone to having sex when they are emotional. Therefore, if you take your lady for a nice film in the cinema, you two are going to be in a big and dark room, with a movie on the screen. Is there a better scenery for a blowjob? I don't think so.
For my birthday, Jenifer wanted to make a perfect evening out for me. She planned all the things that I liked: football match with the guys and later on, going down to pub and having a couple of drinks. However, I had something else in my mind. I thanked her for the organization, but told her that I would much rather be with her alone, watching a movie at the cinema. I picked the most secluded cinema that I could find and the most romantic comedy ever. She was amazed and she felt loved and thankful.
We were almost alone in the cinema, and I took the seats in the last row. As the film went on, I hugged Jenifer and then stroked her thigh. She smiled at me, and returned my cuddles with a nice and sexy kiss on my neck. That meant that I could advance. So, I slipped my hand underneath her skirt and found my way to her pussy.
She resisted and giggled, but I felt that she is giving in since she spread her legs. She took my cock into her hands, and pretended that she still watches the movie. However, she was jerking it off and it became totally hard, ready to burst. She felt it and did an amazing thing. She released my cock from his pants prison and bent down to my lap.
There I was on my birthday in the cinema, with my pants unzipped and my cock having fun in Jenifer's mouth. It is something to remember. Especially, because Jenifer really gave her best. She sucked on my cock while jerking it off with one hand. She took it all the way in. She really gave her best to deepthroat it, but she couldn't take it all in.
She gagged a little, and coughed, but that only made me hornier. I took her head gently and pressed it down, so that she would do it again. It was my lucky day as she obeyed. As I pushed her down, I came inside her mouth, holding her head down. My jizz went directly into her mouth. She coughed a little bit she didn't try to back off. Jenifer even licked all the cum that remained on my cock.
Therefore, whenever somebody talks about action movies, they look funny at me when I say that musical romantic comedy film does far more for me than any adult tube site or movie.

HOMEWOOD, Ala. — The wife of an Alabama minister was found dead in her home in suburban Birmingham in an apparent homicide, authorities said today.
Karen Louise Shahan, 52, was found dead on a couch of her home in Homewood on Tuesday.
Al.com reported that the woman was the wife of the Rev. Richard Shahan, a pastor at First Baptist Church of Birmingham.
Authorities said the minister was out of town visiting family when his wife's body was found. Police went to the home after co-workers at a retail store called to say Karen Shahan had failed to show up for work.
Authorities did not immediately release a cause of death, but police said was apparent someone killed her. The house was in disarray.
"We don't know if this is random, a burglary gone bad or what," said Sgt. Andrew Didcoct, a spokesman for the Homewood Police Department. "We just don't know."
The house where the body was found is owned by First Baptist of Birmingham. Shahan is the pastor to children and families at the church and also serves as facilities director.
Church officials had no immediate comment.

Soaking the poor: House tax hikes continue
New York State has the highest cigarette tax in the nation. A study commissioned by the New York Department of Health last year found that the high taxes did not discourage smoking among low-income smokers, ABC News reported last September. Rather, the poor just paid more - as much as a quarter of their income - for cigarettes. The study's author concluded that "low-income smokers are disproportionately burdened by these taxes."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found in 2011 that "(s)moking prevalence generally decreased with increasing education and was higher among adults living below the poverty level (28.9%) than among those at or above the poverty level (18.3%)." That is, cigarette taxes fall disproportionately upon the poor.
The Department of Revenue Administration estimates that House Bill 659 would raise between $6.7 million and $11.9 million. The bill does not earmark those funds for smoking-cessation programs. So the bill would raise taxes on the poor and middle class to fund the general government. Again, this comes just one week after the House voted to hit everyone with a $1 billion gas tax hike, which would hurt low-income drivers the most. If you smoke and drive and you voted for Democrats in November because you wanted to "soak the rich," the joke's on you, pal.

Let's face it: your attendees aren't going to put their mobile devices down.
Eighty percent of conference attendees have smartphones, and no matter how outstanding your meeting is, today's business professionals have grown accustomed to keeping their eyes on their tablets and smartphones throughout the day. However, meeting planners should not consider those devices as barriers to engagement. Instead, planners should determine how to make those screens part of the educational experience.
At the PCMA Technology Think Tank held in Vancouver in August, the audience of meeting planners found a solution: NiceMeeting. This second-screen technology turns each attendee's device into an extension of the presentation at the front of the room. From reviewing close-up slides to taking notes to answering polls to chatting with fellow attendees, the conference experience received a serious bump in interactivity.
SEE ALSO: Challenges and Solutions at the PCMA Technology Think Tank
For planners who might worry that attendees will still be sending emails and taking care of individual needs, they can lay those concerns to rest.
"What most impressed me was the very noticeable change in attendee behavior," Michelle Bruno, CEM, CMP, President of Bruno Group Signature Events and moderator of the 2013 PCMA Technology Think Tank, says. "They interacted with me more because they could ask questions without interrupting the flow of the conversation."
"Their attention was completely focused on the tablets and the presentation rather than other devices," Bruno adds.
PCMA isn't the only organization that recognizes the power of second screen technology. Each year, Yury Pavlov, Managing Director, Cbonds Congress, helps organize 24 events that welcome over 3,000 attendees who work in the financial markets. Pavlov and the Cbonds Congress turned to NiceMeeting to help bridge the gap between shy attendees and presenters.
"The NiceMeeting system makes the meeting much more interactive, and you get participation from attendees that otherwise might not be comfortable standing up to ask a question," Pavlov says.

In addition to creating more engaging experiences, second screen technologies helps deliver real, tangible bottom-line benefits for planners, too. For planners who are still offering physical handouts, the technology includes the ability to deliver digital handouts to all users that can create a serious reduction in all the printed materials that weigh down meetings and events.

Well this year is going fast! But I've been finding some time here and there to practice BP. I play mountain dulcimer with friends as a sort of ad hoc string band on a weekly basis. A few weeks ago I took the BP in to show it off. It was universally liked as a "cool" interesting instrument with an interesting sound. The double bass player naturally laughed his head off at my tiny little bow.
So the BP has been enlisted to accompany a contemporary christian hymn called Revelation Song.…Continue

If you try to play with a brand new bow with brand new horse hair on a brand new string nothing will happen. No sound whatsoever. Often a luthier will when the hair has been properly a fixed to the bow use prepowdered rosin and work it in thoroughly coating every hair, as besides supplying traction where it meets the string it also acts as weather proofing and preservative, it was part of the mummification process used by the Egyptians. For a normal getting ready to play rosining hold the…Continue

The low resolution photos on the Goodwill auction site do not do it justice. The soundhole design is more delicate than I expected.

I've never played a bowed instrument so I know the bowing technique will not be easy but I'm patient. I do read music and understand how you're meant to play the psaltery - what the strings mean. This is a 2-octave, and I think it's right handed. Now I'm a left handed person - but play other…Continue

According to Victorian age musicologist W.F.Flood in his book "History of Irish Music" "The Timpan was, in reality, a small stringed instrument, having from three to eight strings and was played with a bow or plectrum, being also called a Benn Crot,or peaked harp, by an ancient Irish writer.

Rikers Island Lawsuits Over Diabetic Care
By Albert Samaha
On a warm day last April, Dr. Abdul Samay Hamed, one of Afghanistan's sharpest political satirists, received a nasty prick of his own. "As i was walking in Kabul," he re-counted in an interview, "somebody called me: 'Doctor!'" Hamed turned to see who it was, and a man with a furry hood handed him a piece of paper. "Then as I was reading it, he attacked me with a knife." After being cut in the arm, chest, and leg, Hamed got the knife away from his assailant. "Then he dragged me behind a container and called his friend. I released him because I thought his friend might be armed." The men escaped and the doctor hurried to a hospital, where he remained for several days. His hand was badly cut as well.
Attacks on journalists are not uncommon under the current, post-war government of Afghan president Hamid Karzai, and some writers have received threats from the military, police, and intelligence agency. Hamed's assailants did not say anything to reveal their motives, but he has some theories about the knifing, which he thinks could have been the work of "two ordinary" fundamentalists or a "high-level, politically motivated attack." He thinks the organizers might have been Taliban sympathizers or followers of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, who received CIA backing to fight the Soviets in the 1980s and now leads a small force in the south.
"I do not hesitate to say that it could have been Karzai and his elite or the former king," the doctor adds. Why? Because he has been critical of them all. "I have not compromised," he declares. "My activity has been aggressively intellectual, not intellectually diplomatic. Therefore, it could be anybody."
The Committee to Protect Journalists has given Hamed a 2003 International Press Freedom Award and honored him at a dinner on November 25. "There are very few independent voices in Afghanistan today," said CPJ Asia program coordinator Abi Wright, noting that most Afghan journalists are associated with specific ethnic or political groups. Because of Hamed's independence, she said, he is able to "hold political figures and warlords accountable for their actions," which is key to building stability and peace.
Interviewed last week at CPJ headquarters, the 34-year-old writer understood questions posed to him in English, but responded mostly in Persian, with the help of a translator.
"My basic principle is that in Afghanistan, there are a lot of thoughts, but no thinking," said Hamed. Though he was trained in medicine, he has devoted his career to promoting freedom of expression. He currently lives in Kabul and Mazar-i-Sharif, organizes workshops for local journalists, and is a bit of a cult figure. He launched his first underground newspaper, Salam, in 1985, and claims to be a founder of more than 90 percent of the free publications in Afghanistan.
In 1998, when the Taliban came to power, Hamed went into exile, first in Pakistan and then in Denmark. He came back in 2002, helped found the magazine Telaya, which publishes political and social commentary, and now contributes to the satirical newspaper Kalak-e-Rhaastgoy. When shown a copy of the U.S. publication The Onion, he said it was similar to what he and his colleagues put out, that is, an ironic parody of news events.
In Afghanistan, he says, "People are more interested in satire than in serious writing." For that reason, he delivers his polemics in the form of cartoons, satirical lyrics to famous Afghan songs, and even "politically pornographic poems," which he says are "very famous." Asked for examples of his humor, he says, "I've written that an 'Islamic democratic' government would be like putting on a pair of knickers over a shalwar kameez [traditional Afghan tunic]." As for women's rights, he says sarcastically, "We call it 'the right that we want for others' wives.' "
Hamed does not own a gun, nor does he have a bodyguard, à la Salman Rushdie. But as he became prominent, he says, his family begged him never to go out alone. These days he is usually escorted by one of his six brothers, although sometimes, he says, "I feel really tired, so I secretly slip out of the house."
Hamed's first scare came in 1997. After an anti-war demonstration in Mazar-i-Sharif, he was confronted on the street by Haji Mohammed Mohaqiq, then interior minister and now the minister of planning. "In the presence of other ministers and writers, he attacked me personally with eight of his bodyguards," Hamed recalls. He says they stabbed him with bayonets and hit him with the butts of their rifles. He was beaten unconscious.
Hamed calls the 1997 attack "a crime, both in the eyes of the law and in the eyes of humanity." But, he says, there was (and is) no law in Afghanistan, so the crime will not be prosecuted. Asked why it happened, he said that he had been giving speeches about once a week. One month earlier, he had spoken at a conference on civil society in Bonn, Germany; he had also frequently criticized local warlords on the BBC. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what pissed people off. But it's clear that he continues to do it.
