I am all those things and lucky.
Yesterday's 2Sat was real fun for me. On set up day some one, who will remain nameless, cut my waist length hair, which was in it's braided state, off with some manicure scissors, which amuses the hell out of me. She called me chicken and double dogged dared me. I had to do it.
Gail and Otis were back, along with Linda Jensen. Gail was a bit grumpy, Otis was contrite, (he ran away from home the day before) and Linda was plucky, just as she always has been. I think Gerry and Maureen have a little romance going on. And Nina brought such a beautiful table it was heart rendering to see it go out the door to some excellent shoppers, who are opening a store, , in LaConner Wa. Virginia's booth was packed full of great stuff. Nina and I each bought an amazing rack that she conjured up on a junking trek. Virginia, is a true pro, and I am so proud to call her a friend. We missed our friend Jill who was helping her son prepare to get married. But Susan Plunkett was there in good form and humor as always, there was some breakage, at one point I looked over to see Susan stuck in a plastic packing crate, butt first. Love Susan she has a huge heart and I find her endlessly amusing and she finds the best junk. You know what is amazing, is the amount of stuff Sheryl brings every month to the market. She and Nick work so hard every single month , she is a favorite with customers because you never know what treasures you will find in her booth. It is truly a trove of wonderfulness. Next month she has other commitments so will not be at 2nd Saturdayz and will be missed.
These folks make me happy, it all warms my heart. I have never, ever claimed to be the best show promoter on the planet, I am a bit lazy and too involved with my own life to want to spend the hours and hours it would take every single month to create a "SHOW". I never wanted to have a Farm Chicks, or Remnants of the Past, or Marburger every single month. What I want to do with 2nd Saturdayz is create a market where hard working vendors can come, set up in a drama free pleasant atmosphere and make enough money to go out and hunt and gather some more great stuff, which is what we all love. If I can do that, and have a market that I can sell at as well........I am happy. And that my dears is that.
Nameless--I don't think so!!! They were surgical scissors. And you look stunning. Nameless
ReplyDeletestart your own damn blog it you want the facts from your point of view. :-)
DeleteSurgical, manicure..... I had no idea what the hell you were doing back there. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
ReplyDeleteGo paste it back on and we are DONE!!!! Stick to your delirium. The no Name People.
DeleteI am so happy you are happy. Are you now drug free? Or is your happiness chemically empowered?
ReplyDeleteLorrie, why do care?
ReplyDeleteLulu, why do care??????? That is your question?
ReplyDeleteThat does not appear to be a complete sentence. Did you intend to type, "why do I care?" The answer to that is I don't. I was just curious as to the reality. Your rep around town is that of someone whose behavior is explained by being on drugs, so I wondered if your claimed happiness was natural, or if it was enhanced by chemicals. I have never read someone go on so about being happy and use the dictionary definition for validation. Seemed just a tad bizarre to me. But that is your rep, a tad bizarre. So, good job. You might want to consider cutting back a bit on the drugs though. Not pretty can be sometimes the result. That and a lot of people taking sides against you, or for you, which is actually sort of impressive. If getting that sort of reaction is caused by drugs, I say keep on popping.
