Shew.... Paddling like these little ducks...Book Winner & Another gIvEaWaY ♥

Shew.... What a busy busy busy couple of weeks. I've felt like these little ducks

paddling in a cup to stay caught up.

I'm pleased to announce that the Sea Witch is the recipient of the Mary Kay Andrews

Fixer Upper book giveaway ~ I'll drop that in the mail to you early this week Dari. I know you'll treasure each page in this end of Summer read. I sure did. Congrats ♥.

Everyday of the past 2 weeks we've had so much fun at Vintage Village helping college students select items for their dorm rooms or college apartments. There are certainly going to be some super cute ones this year ~ as we like to say at Vintage Village "game on"... I hope some of these gals send us pictures. There will be primitive to proper ~ grungy to great ~ peely to painted when all the items sold are moved into their new homes for

another year of college.

In a giving sort of mood... so, another fun gIvEaWaY to announce!

For all of you that live in or plan to visit the Metro Atlanta area ~ just for you. Leave a comment by Saturday, August 7 at 8:00 a.m. ~ you'll be added to the "hag hat" for a

$30 Vintage Village Gift Certificate.

The perfect reason to come shop!

~Drawing will be held Saturday, August 7~

I must say as well as all the hag ordinaries that typically fill my days the high

light of my week was helping one girlfriend find a great home with another girlfriend for the sweet Yorkie pictured here. "Oliver Bentley" is now in the loving company of a sister Yorkie ~ "Poncie". I'd say Yorkie galore and girlfriends are the bEsT!

Nothing better than a happy ending...

"The Fixer Upper"

Mary Kay Andrews

No stranger to Mary Kay Andrews a favorite author of this Hag I anticipate each new books store arrival date and rush out to get my copy of her latest and greatest. All of the books by Mary Kay Andrews seem to capture the ultimate life for a Junk Loving, Antique Shop owner, seeker of the mother load in collectible treasures, fun loving passion, I'm sure you can relate to as much as I.

stories unfold and I wish I was there.

Perhaps, I'm already there just in another Georgia city with so many similar events.
