Shades of fun
The Custer's Antique Show is coming up next weekend. If you're a regular, like me, you probably know the Forget-me-not ladies, Nancy Frederickson and Sally Barlowe. They have the funky space right down the center aisle of the show. Frederickson and Barlow usually pick a color scheme and fill their booth with an assortment of good junk in those colors. You might remember the pink and orange decor at the sale a couple of years ago.
Well, ( I feel just like one of those big-time gossip columnists here) I've got a little "advance" information. I asked what the tone of this year's show was going to be. Frederickson says it isn't definite yet, but it looks like this year's booth is going to be loaded with all of those wonderful vintage shades of green.
The bad news for me is that I love anything in chippy green paint. So that means I'll have to check the sofa cushions for spare change or get up extra early so I can quietly "borrow" the kid's allowance before they wake up.
Update: Oops. I should have mentioned that Nancy Frederickson and Sally Barlow's shop is located in Cd'A. Five women are partners in the business and it's one of my favorite stops when I drive over.
