Birthday Bash 12 years old Vintage Village ~ Wiped today ~ Joyful for a new blog ~ Giveaway tonight, remember....

It's our 12th Birthday @ Vintage Village ~

Festivities underway ~ every day a special treat for our precious valued customers ~

appreciative for their continued generous patronage over these memorable 12 years.

Cupcakes ~ yes, those were for our Friday.

Our four legged special friend, Charlie ~ came by for a visit on Saturday.

At day's end ~ we felt just like Charlie did ~ wiped~!

In a good way for sure. Much hard work ~ much water ~ much sun ~ wiped at days end.

Ella's back from her special trip with Kim ~ to Paris.
She picked her birthday hat ~ a chenille lampshade.

At the crack... that's before daylight ~ we were up preparing for our special day.
Our first 2009 Parking Lot Sale.
Bargain's galore amidst the many tents in front of our cozy shop.
It was a marvelous day.


Lot's to choose from ~ this great wonderful chippy garden set in pink was one
of the offerings on our hot pavement Saturday.
It's a beauty ~ just right chippy ~ see Laurie & LuLu...


Tents, tents & more tents.
I didn't have a tent ~ but did have a cooler of ice cold drinks.
Today, aglow with yesterday's sunshine all over my face, shoulders, arms & some leg.
We had help from hubbies & our village friends ~ days like this we need all the friends we can get ~ to sell others items, help loading treasures for customers ~ even in tent set up.
Thanks to all who offered help.



You've heard we offer all but the kitchen sink.
That's true everyday.
Saturday, we had all including a 2000 Harley Davidson.
Look Cat Daddy ~ we needed you and Trash Talk for a test drive.

Ms. Willie was there ~ with her made from scratch cakes & breads.

I got a whole chocolate pound cake... Y~U~M~!

Whimsy had her darling daughter, Hannah selling with us.

What a cutie ~ glad we had some time with her today.

I got something from her... but it's a secret. Lindsey looks in & it happens to

be for her ~ a special shower decoration she will surely adore.

The birthday bash continues til May 8. Special every day.

Wait til you see our other special days. I have many pictures yet to share.

Can't end this portion of the post without a big XO to the special hubby's at the village.

Of all days... our air conditioning went out upstairs.

It was 84 at 6:00 a.m. ~ William came by from our service company and pumped our unit full of freon ~ then, later in the day. Paul & Jimmy went up the roof shoot to check on the iced up unit before we turned it back on. Made me a nervous wreck... ice thawed... hubby's off the roof that's close to the sky... we have air again. Yeah... cool for our hot Georgia Days...

Happy Birthday today ~ Mr. Lew ~ Jimmy~!
