Life is for the Birds

I've been so busy selling lately and trying to move stuff-my life has been crazy!!!!!  I have so many items for sale(like the birds above)!!! I'm trying to really clear out the barn(s) and just de-clutter my life!  I've missed you all and hope that I will feel like I have time to return soon!

Time Keeps Marching On

I've missed all of you.  I seem to be so consumed with other things lately like selling

and buying.I have been going thru a difficult emotional time for several months. In reality it's probably been more like a year.  The feelings I have I've never experienced before and I am stuggling to figure them out.  At times I haven't been even able to see the light at the end of the tunnel even though I knew that God is at my side I have wanted to end it all.  I've always been a strong and in control person who knew what I wanted and would work at it and make it happen even if other's said I couldnt do it.  

I think the change has happened to my for two reasons-I've passed the dreaded age and seeing my grams in the nursing home and seeing all the other residences.  I know that we only have one chance in this life to make it what we want and I don't want to be sitting in a nursing home saying-why didnt I live my life.  Easier said then done.  

I've been working on clearing out some clutter in my life(both inside and out) and it's taking me longer than I had planned which frustrates me.  I know that God is in control and I do trust him, but I'm finding it hard to be patient with discovering the answers.  

I know there has to be more life and joy out there to experience and I really want that, but can't seem to put all the pieces together. 

I hope to try and visit you all soon.  My energy level has been low and with major changes at work and really trying to sell off extra barns of stuff-I can't seem to even find time for me.  I really appreciate you all and your prayers. God Bless and hope to visit you soon.

The Last Barn Sale

Well, I just can't do it anymore.  I've exhausted myself for the past week and put all I could into this sale.  I'm shutting the barn. At this point don't know when or if I'll open again.  We had a wonderful turnout yesterday and the weather was beautiful.  I took some pics to show some of the displays.  I tried to include all the holidays. I'm taking a rest for a while. Haven't felt much like blogging lately either.  I hate not visiting with all of you, but at this time, I feel like I just need a big break!

Yellow and Green Makeover

Do you remember these chairs?  Tete, I know you do. Sorry My Dad got all that paint off before I could stop him.  It was just falling off though.  

Here are the chairs sporting their new paint jobs!!! What fun spring bright colors.  Don't you just love a pop of color in the garden or patio?   Wait till you see how they look with the fun tablecloth I have to use at the barn sale.  I'm pairing them with another fun chair and some great new outside pitcher and glasses.  It's going to be hard work all this week to get ready(sorry Ann it wasn't last week!).  I've got the shed and garage to still go thru.  Trying to pull items for all the holidays and make displays-I'll try and keep you updated!

Redone Table

Well here's the before....saved this table from the trash.  My dad put it back together. It was missing the middle part, but I thought what an awesome coffee table anyway.  It's a big one... 46x60 but what a great look.

Painted it white-and it came out amazing.  Will be listing it for sale and if it doesn't go this week-it will be for sale at the Ella Mae's Barn Sale this Saturday!  Or do I want to keep it!!!!

Another Glass House

My Dad just finished updating this glass house!  I think it looks fabulous. Don't think I'll have it long before it sells!

Primitive Doll Bed

Well, I've got to start thinking(and working) in the barn.  I'm not planning on having many barn sales this year.  Maybe only one big one.  I'm planning for March 31st.  Lots of work to do over there-plus, I need to start going thru the other out buildings.  Makes me tired just thinking of it.  Plus I need to decide what to keep and what will go.  I'm not into primitives-but this little doll bed is sooooo cute!
