LIFE OF A RETIRED ANTIQUE DEALER

Taking grand daughter home this morning...

Kick in an extra prayer for  me...taking grand daughter home to day.  Not really a problem, but  a long trip and mostly through the Arkansas mountains.  Always can use a prayer when traveling.

Have a blessed day...and good sales.

 

shartey TRIP TO BEAD SHOP WITH GRAND DAUGHTER..

Tonight is our last night, this trip...and tomorrow I will be taking her home.

Thought I would share the trip to the bead shop...we made the things pictured, mostly from old beads I already had...

We had a blast.

Loved doing the wire work...

She is in the last picture with the shop keeper, who was fantastic. .

 

 

UPDATE ON MY SON...shartey

The prayers must have worked, he is so much better.  Not thrilled with his Dr. but, he did read all the material I gave him.  If I had tried to tell him it would have never worked...just went to the book store and bought books. 

NEXT QUESTION...ABOUT PRIVAE BID..

Where the heck do I change it to private bid...??? duh..

question from shartey about private bid.

I have a  potential buyer contact me and ask to have a bid made private...do you see any problems with this...have never been asked to do this  before.  ??

shartey NORTH WEST ARKANSAS GOOD MORNING!!

Good morning, hope all are well and happy on this wonderful day.

Got up early and did church and breakfast, we  have a breakfast at church after the early service.  It is a nice time to visit and see members from both services. 

My grand daughter slept in and is still sleeping, I never woke sleeping children....or for that matter sleeping anybody.  Think I am to selfish about my alone time...lol.

Today we are going back to the bead shop...that was the most fun  so  far.  I came back home after the first trip and took apart all of my old vintage beads and have come up with a ton of new beads to do this with.  I think that this is also  going to be a day out for my girlfriends in the future, I provide the beads and we go and do the bead shop thing.  The lady that owns this shop is so talented and she showed us different ideas...think I am hooked. I love the wire concepts...when I get a few minutes I will photograph what we did.

Later today we are going out to the glass chapel here...it is beautiuful...will try and post a picture here... It is a chapel that is in the woods entirely out of glass...

If it is  not raining tonight we are going to Eureka Springs and do the out door movie thing...you bring your lawn chairs and wear jamies...and they do a movie in the down town on one of the buildings....it is hysterical.. They have all kinds of contest and games up to movie time and it will be a fun evening.

Now I am going  to get my cup of coffee and have some solitude in my garden  before the day really begins. 

As you can see, most of the day is about my grand daughter, only one more day with her.

Blessings to all....hope you are having a wonderful day.

 

 

 

TOO TIRED TO SPAM...HELP ME!!

JUST LIST YOUR STUFF HERE...

I am worn out, we went to the PASSION PLAY in Eureka Springs today...have to tell you, it was amazing, the whole entire thing and we watched it setting in the rain for about an hour.

ok..lets see if this works...

Trying my picture out here...

GOING BACK TO BED

Way to early for me to be up...going back to bed and hug my pillow.

Have a great day .

Maybe this will relax me enough to go back and sleep some more.

AN'T LIFE GRAND...shartey

Just a quick note to stop and say hello, it is wild here with grand daughter, today we did the bead shop thing...and that was a blast.  I had tons of beads from all the years I have done vintage jewelry, and of course we added some new things.

I learned some new ideas and new ways to to the buttons that will be awesome.

Will post pictures of what we did later tonight.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day and many blessings.

 

shartey NORTH WEST ARKANSAS GOOD MORNING!!

We had such a  long day yesterday, and everyone in my family is sleeping and it is nice and quiet here.  Even the dogs are sleeping.

Yesterday was dr. appoints, shopping with grand daughter, dinner with frineds and golf. 

I was so proud of my grand daughter she rode in an extra cart with us and had fun...really had fun, none of that sulking that teenagers do when they are doing something that is not all about them.  She hit a few balls and laughed at me a lot. 

 I played awful, was just entirely too tired to think golf after a long day of  running around, town is 48 miles away and by the time we did that and all of the rest, it made for a long day. 

All of packages were packed the night before and shipped, so it has been hetic here.

Hope everyone is good and haveing a blessed summer of sales and fun.

 

MANY THANKS TO THOSE THAT KEPT MY SON IN THIER PRAYERS.

This is an update on what is going on.

He went to the Dr. today and things seem to be much better, he is supposed to have a test on August 8 for more  detailed evaluation.

His pain is much better and he thinks that this will be something that in time and careful diet he can controll.

I gave him books to read, since he is like all men and will not listen to me...lol, he is reading the books and learning.  That is a good thing.

I will see him on the 31st and see how things are going.

Thanks to all of you that keep us in your prayers.

shartey...important BEWARE OF SIMINARS ON DOING NETWORK SELLING..... shartey

I will not tell you the name of the  company doing the siminar on the blog, if you want to know I will email you privately.

They  want $7000 to set you up, you are paying a monthly fee after that of $25.90 for each site, they suggest that you have six sites. $155 per month.

You are paying $999 just to set up your credit card. 

Spent the day yesterday sitting in this siminar, they take a credit application 1st thing and promise to get everyone on with financing . Before they tell you one thing they want your SS#  and all of your confidential information...scary.

Every thing they offered could be gotten for nothing....and most of it by using ebay. 

When I left they had sold over $700,000 worth of  this stuff to people that in some cases did not have a computer...

They come with a team of  folks, nice looking men, dressed nice..and they have a preacher like presentation...

Because, I used to be a trainer of  sales, I recognized all of the traps and of course knew all of the lies, since I have been on line since 1999 and have done computers for nearly    20 years. 

To be honest, it was sickening.  I watched a couple next to us, she was 67  and was desperate for a way to continue to make money.....they have a upholstry business and will not be able to continue with that hard work.... .she did  not have a clue that a lot of what they were asking money for, could be had free.

As I said earlier, we were confronted at the door about leaving early and why we were not buying.   Very strong arm tactics..

MY GOODNESS! things have changed... I leave the room for one minute!.... shartey

ok...who has been messing with my life.  THE BLOGS HAVE CHANGED!!

I kinda get comfortable with things and when there is a change....well it throws me.

Looks like it might be fun....but then again it looks like I have to  pay attention...

Things are good here, we did some shopping yesterday and today we are going to look at things on line for my grand daughter...she will love that.  I asked for people with items to list them the other night so we will be taking a look.  Teenagers are picky and a pain, don't be hurt if she does not buy something.

I went to a siminar yesterday and let me tell you what is going on out there, to get people to give up thier money is scary.  At this siminar they wanted $7000 to give you three web sights and a on line credit cards, they would help you with the web site design...ect, but they really were not done with that, then it was $29.50 per month for each site.

The target audiance was older people that were  clueless and I would think, that by the end of the day that more than 100  people bought the plan at $7000 , these folks are making money and doing it with some really scary promises.

I left and they ambushed me at the door and said it was not appropiate  for me to leave before the siminar was over....and why was I not buying???...duh. Like I need to pay $999 to set up a credit card system.....I think not.

Felt very sorry for many of the older  folks around me, they were really looking at this  as a way to make extra bucks that they needed...most had never used a computer, a digital camera, did not have one now...ect. 

They had a  lot of great information, but I can get all of that free, did not need to pay them. 

Anyway life goes on, I will tell you more if you want about this outfit, but will not publish their name here.

Hope all are well and having a blessed day.

we won't have time to look at them tonight,

But if you have clothes for a 15 year old...she likes brand name stuff......OF COURSE!!

POST IT HERE AND  WE WILL LOOK TOMORROW NIGHT. OK
