Well Ladies....
I am back from my Destin vacation, and have been working since I got out of the car I think. Destin was beautiful as ever and none of us wanted to leave. The weather was just perfect and we did alot of fun things while we were there. Parasailed, went on a dolphin cruise, snorkeled, and some of us went deep sea fishing. Of course we laid out on the beach daily and just took in the sun and waves all day long. (Wish I was there now!)

We are gearing up for Canton. We leave tomorrow. Cathy will not be there this month, but I think she was going to blog some today, so I will let her update you on her condition.
I can honestly say that I will be running very low on inventory this month, but I know that Pam, Jeri and Sue have been working very hard while I played, so there should be plenty of great stuff! Please make sure that you come by to see us!

Hope to see you this week!

Happy Wed. thought I would update our blog and let all of our friends know that Deidra is enjoying her much needed vacation in Florida on the beach and I am still recooping from my foot surgery. I go back to the surgeon tomorrow and am suppose to get my stiches out. I hope that I can also start to drive and most of all get in the pool and hit the road looking for good junk....{ treasures }. I have not been down like this or have had to stay off my feet in at least 20yrs. and it has been a real challenge for me has I am the type that NEVER stops until I go to bed! I guess that good be called a little OCD! Anyway, I have had alot of time to get some r and r. I will be in a black, hip, styling boot for another few weeks......I am thinking how I can put the good ole "girls gone junkin' " touch to it!! I will post a pic after I get this design going! I will probably not make it out to Canton this month { have talked hubby in to going and help with the booth set up } but will be sending all my goods! If I don't see ya before, will see you in Sept. { can't wait for fall } Have a blessed day......Cathy

Hey Everyone,

Just a quick note to let those of you wondering.....Cathy did great in surgery and is recovering well at her home. She says that she cannot believe the amount of sleep that she is getting. Went to see her yesterday and all is going well.

Pam and I survived the Peach Festival, but yes...it was a hot day. For those of you who braved the heat and came to see us...Thanks!

I am getting to take a vacation with the family to Destin. Cannot wait! This will be our third consecutive year, and I must say we are hooked. We just love it! I hope that the beach is as beautiful as usual, since the hurricane hit it last year.
Three days after I return from Destin will be Canton again. I guess I will have to "work a little" while on vacation in order to be caught up with merchandise. I also like to hit some of the thrift shops while I am there...sometimes I find some unusual cool things to bring back. If anyone knows of some places I should stop by while I am there, please let me know.

See you in a couple of weeks!

Well, we survived the high temperatures once again at Canton. It was a hot one I might say! Wednesday Pam got nauseous, then on Thursday I got nauseous, but then I think we all became use to the weather by Friday. Thanks to our regular customers who came to see us. We sure do appreciate you all!

Business was good despite the hot temperatures, and it seems that everyone went home a little early to get ready for the Fourth Fireworks. We did not stay for the fireworks show....we left early to get a bite to eat and then headed for the air conditioned cottage. (Real party people huh?) We did get to enjoy some great fireworks out in the country though.

We had our regular Friday haircut in Kaufman with our friend Amber. She is just really a sweet person, and just so fun to be around. We just love her and are so happy that we found her.

Cathy is having foot surgery this Thursday, so say a prayer that everything goes well and that she has a quick recovery. You may not see her at this next Canton.......but surely by the end of August, she should be back in the swing of things.

Pam and I are getting ready for the Weatherford Peach Festival this Saturday. If you are live close by and want to enjoy some great peach ice cream and do a little shopping, be sure to come by and see us. There are several vendors there and a fun time is sure to be had! Dress cool!
Gotta get back to Junkin'
