OMG...

I can't believe Fall is in the air. 

And I can't believe there has not been a post here since Febuary!

What?

I have a few things to share.

First off... If you are new to this blog, welcome.

My sister-in-law, Debbie and I share a business called Worthy Goods.

We are shoppers, antiquers, junkers, restorers, makers and sellers.

We put our passion for all of these together at 

Monticello Antique Marketplace in Portland, OR.

The Fall Premier Show at Monticello opens September 6 and runs through September 29th.

Here are a few photos of what we put together.

You can find more on our Worthy Goods blog by clicking here and on Facebook.

Speaking of Fall and shopping...

Here are a few favorites.

WORD

I realize it's the end of January and I am choosing today to share my word for the year. Good things take time!

The process of acquiring a word each year helps bring into focus where I'm at in life. Somehow it brings a bit of clarity to all the thoughts, intentions and ideas swirling around in my head!

  Give it a try. Who knows where it will lead you!

 My word for 2012 was Joy. You can read about it here.

For 2013 this seems to be just right.

Build

To construct by assembling or joining parts and materials.

source

To establish, increase, or strengthen.

source

To mold form or create.

source

To base; found: a relationship built on trust.

Build seems to suit the mode I'm operating in.  New projects and ideas are pulling me forward.

Having the word build in my psyche brings focus and patience for the many tasks required to reach a goal. 

Do you choose a word for the year?

“Concentrate all your thoughts on the task at hand.  The sun rays do not burn until brought into focus.”  ---Alexander Graham Bell

I'm in the mood for...

With Valentine's Day just around the corner whipping up a few "love" pillows seemed like a good idea.

If you find yourself loving these, they will be available Wednesday at Monticello Antique Marketplace in Portland, OR.

Or just enjoy looking at them right here!

Have a great week,
Laurie
