July Sweet William Market

The day before each market I have a ritual.  It is a ritual of doing way too much in a small amount of time and thinking I can absolutely with out a doubt get everything done!  

Of course I can, I am wonder woman after all!  Kellie means warrior woman, so I am up for any battle. 

So I get everything done that I realize I can and come to terms with the things that will have to wait until the next market.  I settle into bed around 11:30.  My dear husband is out of town and he is in charge of the alarm on a normal basis.  So being totally on top of everything I check the alarm. It is set for 4:00 and I think great I am all set.  I am usually so wound up before each market I have a hard time sleeping.  I decide to listen to my deep sleep mediation and I drift away into dreamland.  After being awoken several times by the dogs and their needs.  I climb back into bed for a few hours more of much needed sleep.  

Only to be awaken once again by a barking dog. 

 I say "Maggie shhhh" trying to quite the 8lb guard dog protecting me on the bed.  

I roll over and slowly open my eyes and think OMG THE SUN IS UP!!!!!!!!  

I quickly glance at the clock and it says 5:45!!!     

OH  *@$#%*!&^()_!!!!!!   

5:45 is the exact time I should be pulling down the street on my way to the Sweet William Market!!!!!  

Here is a lovely drawing of me at that moment.  

Here are photos of the four legged babies in the house.

Sam all partied out during my daughter's birthday party.

Miss Maggie the 8lb watch dog.  Yes she is asleep in a doll stroller.  

Well after a quick shower I am headed out the door about a half an hour late.  I arrive at the market 30 minutes after my set up time and thankfully it was not a problem!  That was a close one for sure.  

As for the alarm that never went off, I checked it when I got home and it was set for 4:00PM.  

There is a reason why I am not in charge of these things!  

We are all good at certain things. I clearly am not good at alarm setting.  

Anyway, I get all set up and have a wonderful day at the Sweet William.  I had some lovely ladies come by and show me how they were using the yard cozies without the yard.  

Totally love it!

It was a wonderful day on the green.  I had a lot of new items and sold some awesome pieces too.  

Here is a drawing of me at the market with my torn pocket smile.  

(My grandma used to say Kellie you have the biggest smile just like a torn pocket. She had four boys, I'm sure she saw her fair share of big torn pockets. I always took it as a complement.) :o)

Oh my I almost forgot!!! A big THANK YOU to all of the wonderful people that stopped by and said hello again at the market!  I love chatting with everyone, I think it is the best part of the day!!!

Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day full of life and color!
