New York is broken

Nevi (wearing red) learned about

hurricane Sandy

hitting New York

she said...

"New york is broken,we need to fix it."

So with her cousins they held a successful bake sale

at their grammys (becky stratford-west haven) 

email:mothestratford@yahoo.com

this week for the victims of Sandy.

They have also sent their story to

Ellen Degeneres show 

(if she picks this up I'll post again).

ANYTIME they hold a bake sale

I'm going...

it was really REALLY good!

I mentioned several of my retailer friends in

New Jersey were affected by Sandy.

Joanne of www.summerhousenj.com

sent this photo of her boys

just this week...

WE NEED SOCKS!

They were having clothing sent to their community - but

NO SOCKS.

No electricity, gas,very cold, sleep huddled.

Dump trucks all day long going by.

She doesnt even mention her shop.

She mentioned many of her neighbors have

lost everything.

actually we hear very little

probably due to electricity.

It made me REALLY realize how ill

prepared I am for an emergency,

both at home and at work.

I ask myself...so why don't you do

something more about it???

How about you?

If you can help these two causes/states

here is your opportunity.

Oh, and please send NEW socks of any size:

815 OAK TERRACE POINT

Pleasant Beach, New Jersey, 08742

I'm sure they would feel blessed by you.

Let the season begin!

someone else is praying for

To my friends and yours back east

whom own shops, have families, those business'whom provide us

wholesale to our shops that fill us with our needs.

They STILL have no electricity,

their neighborhoods wiped out or

being protected by officers

with machine guns to protect from

looting, they can't get to their

parents in other towns for lack of gas and security.

They huddle together as families to stay warm.

Their streets full of sand and

their trees uprooted.

Staying alive and protected

is their main focus.

Pray for them, for their safety, that they may

get the help they need soon.

Love collectors...

Upon the rooftop

Out of storage comes the

Christmas lighting.

How could I have

grandchildren living here

and not have outdoor lights!

(it's a good excuse

and it worked!)

Today we enjoyed our hunt

through the Acorn antique show.

They are opened Sunday also.

This will be a Christmas feature outside and tie in with our theme.

(to be announced soon)

When we bought it we were

clueless as to what to do with it.

By the time I got home

it was 100% figured out,

no, not telling

you have to come see!

Old mail boxes are heavy

it took us both to carry it out.

What would life be like if there were not collectors that rescue

great stuff?

The mailbox was destined to go into a recycling truck, when a quick thinking collector waved some cash...and now it will be enjoyed by many at the shop.

reclaimed. 

B for Brenda, it will be painted light pink to match my workroom.
