Party, Packing and a Pussy Cat

It was a 3-P weekend!

We started with the Dress Up Party, Saturday morning at Primitiques. Check out Robelyn's new hairdo and elegant vintage outfit.

I've gotta tell ya, there is nothing more heart warming than folks saying they came because others referred them. Donna from Denton came out after reading about our sale on Red Shed Antiques blog. Thanks, Valarie! A couple came after being given an invitation at the Debriz Show. Thanks Deb, Liz & Fran!

A big thanks to all the people who blogged about the party and to all the folks who came out Saturday. I can't tell you how much we enjoyed loading goodies into your cars. (less packing for us later) *smile*

My Mom and her friend, Bonnie donned some vintage aprons and necklaces. I think they enjoyed the Dress Up Day idea!

Rest assured, David took more pictures than I did. So, when he gets them uploaded, one of us will share them with you.

After the party ended, we (Robelyn, Mom, Bonnie, David and I) stripped off our vintage clothes and got busy packing boxes.

I donated to Robelyn. I donated to my Dad. By the time it was all said and done, I am donating an entire truck load to an auction. Well, I'm hoping the auction will turn into a profitable donation. *wink*

Sunday, we (my sister, David and I) spent the afternoon loading trailers.


Whew! And this was the end result...

My playground of almost 3 years, empty.

Since the feed store and my store have not been of any interest to the health department, it has never mattered that there were store cats and dogs that called Jack's Town & Country "home". But, with the changes that are being made, Jeannie had to make more difficult choices. Jeannie loves animals as much as I do. So, this decision was the most difficult of all. One dog and 2 cats have to find new homes immediately.

Seventeen year old, Ms. Kitty has been with Jeannie since the beginning of time. She has been an indoor cat with outdoor privileges.

Ms. Kitty believed strongly that every fabric piece that I brought into Primitiques was hers. She was very partial to this doll.

But, she wasn't too sure about Santa Claus.

This pillow was good for her.

After almost 3 years of Ms. Kitty rubbing and loving and making eye contact with David, he couldn't stand it. He volunteered to be her new Daddy.

We boxed her up and David took her home last night. This, my friends, is one lucky pussy cat! She is going to continue being spoiled & loved the rest of her live long days.

I know that there will be a very large empty space in Jack's with her gone. But, I also know that David and Ms. Kitty are going to be good for each other. They both have a lot of love to give. Thanks to Jeannie for letting David be the one.

And there you have it. Primitiques' last weekend in Jack's. It's been a fun ride. Now, for my next p...the pfuture. *giggle*

I do want to say thank you to all of you who left wonderful words of encouragement on my last post. I so much appreciate your love and support.

Happy Monday!
