I wanted it to be just as big as it always was but I was afraid that some dealers were picking one show over the other. We went on Friday at about 10 am and found a parking spot right up front. In all fairness, I have no idea how crowded it was on the weekend but it wasn't crowded on Friday. Going through the gate, the outside vendors are set up! Hooray! I saw several of my old favorites and found a few cool things to buy right away. Truthfully, there were not as many dealers outside as usual and no sign of Linda who is always in the process of setting up under the mall.

Checking out Piccadilly Lane I found a sweet little Mid Century chair at a booth where everything was half price. Good thing we brought the SUV.

This booth also caught my eye. Bed of Roses Boutique is run by DeAnna Jackson. Her and her husband restyle old pieces of furniture in a shabby chic kind of way. I love this piece designed by her young daughter and made by her husband.

There were only two rows of shops open in Piccadilly. The whole middle row, all but vacant, so on to the buildings we went.

We stopped and shopped at Harry's booth. He sets up along side of building C and always has great bargains and interesting treasures.

Building C is filled with an eclectic mix of booths and very few empty spaces. Sandra of Salvage Art is set up and I get to meet her new puppy Lady Marmalade. OMG what a cutie! More on pets later.

A little known fact about me is that I've got a somewhat unhealthy obsession. I hoard buttons-there, I've said it. I have discovered, while discussing this vice with other vintage clothing dealers, that I am not alone. Oddly, this makes me feel better. Many vintage clothing dealers that I know 'hoard' buttons. It starts out innocently enough. You rescue buttons from damaged pieces and pick up jars full at flea markets. But it doesn't take long before you have an entire cabinet - or in my case closet - stocked full with a bazillion buttons that you would not even think of selling. I am not proud, but I love buttons for some reason.

So when I came across Kristine Tibbetts' booth I was in awe. She has a beautiful booth where her buttons are organized and displayed. Little boxes full of buttons, jars full of buttons and buttons sewn to cards. Glass, plastic, wooden, leather..okay, you get the picture. She is a true collector and she definitely knows her buttons. Notice, I didn't call myself a button collector. I am but a mere hoarder and browsing Kristine's booth the differences between a hoarder and a collector become very clear. That's okay-I can live with my little vice.
Next was the covered mall and, honestly, it looked about half full. The next building, building B had very few dealers but my favorite jewelry seller was there. Tom Smith "Smitty"
of 'For the Time Of It' is always set up right inside the main door and to the left. He carries the most beautiful estate jewelry and has great prices. If you are looking for something special for your sweetheart (or for yourself) be sure to stop by his booth.

As we cross through the breezeway and go into Building A we spot a lady wearing a fabulous vintage patchwork mink coat. I couldn't help but comment on it and she tells us that she had just bought it! For less than $100! Good for her-bad for me. When I asked her where, she pointed to a booth and I immediately recognized Elaine of Stony Run Antiques.

Had I known she was here I would have started in Building A. Oh well. Elaine and her husband Jim have a wonderful antique store in Oaksboro, NC. It is in a quaint little house and the whole upstairs is full of vintage and antique clothing and accessories. Unfortunately she is only open by appointment so I don't get to visit as often as I'd like. I do see her regularly at Hinson's Auctions though, which is also in Oaksboro. So, I am always excited when I get to check out her treasures at the show.

By now we're hungry and there are lots of choices here for lunch. There are two cafes in this building and today we chose the little one in the back. The food is made to order and doesn't disappoint. I recommend the BLT but my daughter loves the baked potatoes.

Re-energize after lunch we start up the aisles of this last building. I don't think I have ever seen an empty space in Building A and today is no different.

I am a squirrel lover and so this little guy caught my eye.

As I look around the booth I am surprised to see another squirrel and then another. It was a bit weird and exciting at the same time. I don't usually see a lot of squirrel collectibles and certainly not a bunch in one place. That's when Brooke pointed out the sign.

Okay, I get it. They specialize in Early American Antiques and American Stoneware (and squirrels).

We took our time browsing and shopping and talking to dealers. I have to admit that a lot of the talking was done by my daughter Brooke-not me and was about Aashka, her dog-not antiques.
That girl goes nowhere without her 'baby' and I have to tell you she was quite upset when I told her that I read on the website that they were no longer allowing pets at this show. She called the show to confirm. Even the new sign above the front gate read "no pets". Obviously, none of this had any impact on her because here we were, Aashka in tow. And no one seemed to mind. Plus, like I said before, Sandra had Lady Marmalade with her and there were other dogs there also. I'm feeling a little guilty for having left Trigger at home. Oh, well.

All in all it was a great day. We saw a lot of beautiful antiques, met some new friends and caught up with old ones, scored some treasures and had fun. Oh, one last note. As we were leaving I asked the lady at the gate what was up with the new 'no pets' policy. Guess what. She told me they changed their minds and they decide to go back to their old policy of allowing pets. Icing on the cake!

Well, it's not really a new show. The Charlotte Antiques and Collectibles Show, which has been held at Metrolina for decades, has moved to Concord. So now it's dubbed The "Greater" Charlotte Antiques And Collectibles Show. I am not keen on the new superlative. Moving the show to Concord did not make it "greater" for me. It's a freaking hike to get from South Charlotte to the Cabarrus Arena and there is no direct route to get there. And, after attending the "Grand Opening" yesterday, I can't say the show itself is "greater". Okay, there is paved parking and the buildings are pretty and new if that's what you're looking for. But the parking lot was near empty at 11am Saturday when I arrived and that can't be a good sign.

No lines to get in and only about a half dozen outside vendors. That was the worse part for me. At Metrolina I always shop the outside vendors first and, honestly, that's where the bargains are.
So, moving on, there are 2 buildings. The smaller one on the right is where they stuck the new stuff. There were about 2 dozen vendors in there selling anything from fudge to reproductions to carpets. It was not a good first impression (or second impression as I was already disappointed over the lack of outdoor sellers). I did see one booth that I recognized from Metrolina and I am totally perplexed as to how she got allocated to this little annex building.
Sandra  of "Salvage Art" is one of the most creative people I know. Her booth is always filled with her own creations like the desk lamps and wall hangings she makes from vintage ads or the purses from vintage patterns. When I asked her why she was in this building she said she was told that the big building was only for real vintage and antiques-high end stuff. She said I would know what she meant when I went in. As I said goodbye to Sandra, in my head I was crossing off a mental list of my favorite vendors that I guess I won't be buying from here.
There's the guy that sells cheese and butter, the guy that sells display items for jewelry, Linda who sells the best vintage clothing and sets up under the Mall at Metrolina and of course Harry who always has the best bargains outside.
Okay, on to the main building I go expecting to see only high end, authentic antiques. First impressions: "Wow, this place is huge!"
Lots of vendors. I'd say there were probably twice as many booths as you'd see in the main building at Metrolina in a building three times the size. So it's pretty roomy with wide aisles and lots of seating for bored husbands (not that I ever bring my husband-I know better).
So I stared down the first aisle. So far so good and I find another one of my favorite vendors right across from one of the two concession stands. More on the food later.

Unfortunately I do not remember this lady's name and she was very busy with customers so I wasn't able to ask. I do remember that she is from Pittsburgh and she always has beautiful vintage linens and purses. If you go, be sure to check her out.
This is where I stopped at the concession stand. If I do ever visit this show again I will be sure to eat first and bring a drink. It was early and the only breakfast item they offer is a sausage biscuit for $3.00. It was one of those awful frozen ones you buy at the grocery store. And the sweet tea was $2.75 for a medium! Other than that they have a very small selection of items. Hot dogs, hamburgers, french fries, nachos, popcorn etc. All at premium prices and all pre-made and wrapped up and sitting on the warming shelf. And don't bother looking for the other food vendors that you are used to seeing at Metrolina. Absent are the barbecue stand, the Java Hut, the candied pecans, kettle corn, funnel cakes and the beer. I'm just saying.
So I continue shopping, or browsing really as I really didn't buy much. There are a lot of antique jewelry and furniture dealers with real period pieces but scattered throughout there seems to be several vendor selling strictly reproduction pieces. And the guy that makes 'art' by framing old ceiling tiles was there as well as the guy selling new jewelry displays, a booth with Obama and McCain buttons and a guy selling vases made of coral. All cool stuff but not antiques. So there goes the theory that there are only high end, authentic antiques in the big building. Are you confused yet? I was.
I did discover two very unique booths that I hadn't seen before. The first booth belonged to Nanette Johnson of Floyd Virginia.

Nanette & Mike own Floyd Antiques 116 N. Locust St. Floyd, VA. They specialize in antique tools, dollhouse miniatures, primitives and, my favorite, vintage clothing. Nanette and I chatted for a while and she talked me into making the 2 hour drive up to visit the Floyd Antique Show & Appraisal Fair on March 8th, 2009. If her booth is any indication of what to expect then I know I am in for a fun day.
The other dealer that I am happy to have met is Roberto Frontera-Suau from Elizabeth City, NC. A biology professor by trade, this charming Spaniard shares with me a love of vintage clothing. His booth was breathtaking and the clothing he displayed was divine. He says he specializes in 20's and earlier and he had some beautiful examples like a lovely mid 19th century wrapper. But he also carries later, more wearable vintage like 40's suits and dresses, dresses from the 50's and 60's and this stunning 30's gown that he had on display.

So, all in all, I am glad I went to check out the new location but I will still be a regular at Metrolina. That's right! I forgot to mention the best part. As much as DMG would like us to think that their show is the only one in town, the show at Metrolina will go on! Many dealers there refused to move to the new location and many others chose to do both shows. Besides, the new show is only going to be held 5 times a year:

January 30-February 1, 2009

April 2-5, 2009 "Spectacular"

June 5-7 2009

August 28-30, 2009

November 5-8, 2009 "Spectacular"

...whereas the show at Metrolina-now called The International Collectibles and Antique Show , will continue to be held once a month.

February 5-8, 2009

March 5-8, 2009

April 1-5, 2009 – spring 'Classic' show

I have so many patterns to list (see below) that I may need to rethink the way I list them. Right now, on my website, I show a scan of both the front and back of each pattern, a brief description and, along with the vintage size, I provide the measurements given on the pattern. I also state the condition of the pattern as well as if it is cut or uncut.
Here is a typical pattern listed on my site.
I have tried different versions of this layout and you'll find some listings where I didn't show a picture of the back of the pattern.
If all I had to do was scan the pattern, add a title that included the company, pattern #, brief description of the garment & measurements I could list all these patterns a lot quicker. Of course I would include the condition of the pattern. But if they don't sell then it is all for naught.
So here are my questions.
When you shop online for vintage sewing patterns how important is it to you that there is:
(on a scale from 1 -not important to 6 -very important)
1) A picture of the back of the pattern envelope.______
2) A detailed description of the garment (ie gored skirt, inset sleeves).________
3) Measurements._________

Post your comments to help a girl out.

 I often get emails from people looking for specific vintage sewing patterns. If I have time -I do try to look through the inventory I have that I haven't listed on the website yet. Problem is that I have accumulated such a large collection that this is getting harder and harder. I really need to devote about 2 weeks to listing just patterns. (more on this later)

I have been infatuated with the 40's and 50's for so long that I have been especially lax in listing 60's & 70's patterns.

Well I got an email the other day from a really sweet customer asking if I had this pattern:

Simplicity 7623

With my partner/daughter Brooke working the Southern Christmas Show this week I found myself easily distracted so any excuse to get away from the computer was welcome. I really did think I recognized the pattern. So I went on the hunt. Thats when I relized that I must have over 500 vintage sewing patterns from the 70's alone that I haven't uploaded to the website yet. I thought for a moment that they must have started their own free love, 70's style, commune in my stock room and, left alone in the dark, well...multiplied. So anyway, what I thought would take me a few minutes sort through ended up taking up the afternoon. And even though I never did find that pattern, I did thoroughly enjoy taking a walk down memory and 70's fashions. I think I found my inner hippie and I definitely came away with a renewed appreciation for high waisted bellbottom pants, angel sleeve tops, maxi dresses and peasant skirts. Now I just have to find my old lace up moccasins.

Oh, I did find these 70's shirt patterns that were kind of close.

I'll get these and more listed soon but if you see one you like before then just let me know.

Hand made Handkerchief Co. Chicago

Good work if you can get it I guess! $2.00 a day you say? Sign me up! Not!

This document and packet of silk handkerchiefs came in an old steamer trunk that I bought a couple of years ago at auction. The trunk is chock full of Victorian era through 20's clothing and textiles that I am just now going through and photographing to list for sale.

But this letter and the accompanying silk and trim really fascinates me so I thought I would share. To say "We've come a long way, baby." would be a huge understatement.

The document is dated July 20, 1929. The Hand Made Handkerchief Co. of Chicago placed advertisements in newspapers throughout the South offering young wives and mothers the opportunity to do "pleasant dignified work" from home so that they can "earn the necessary money to get the many little things that (they) you have often wished for."

Well, first they are asked to send in $1 because they "cannot afford to send this material out promiscuously as too many people would be asking for it" don't you know. Then they will send them out 2 partially finished handkerchiefs. After finishing these handkerchiefs, if they pass 'inspection' they will send the young lady out the material to begin work. Oh, it will come COD for $2. So- so far it has cost this lady $3- but fear not. For each silk handkerchief that she intricately embroiders she will be paid 20 cents! She is told that she can earn up to $2 a day!

I think whoever owned this trunk was much like myself. Lured in at first, she cut her losses at $3 and this little stack of silk is all that is left to show for it. Much like the Mary Kay starter kit and Avon samples I have sitting in the closet.

It snowed here in Charlotte last night-can you believe it? So of course the schools all closed and the kids are home. It is just raining now but the damage is done and I won't get much work done so I thought I'd write a little.
I snapped these pictures last June while I was in Florence with my daughter. Eighty degrees and the department store windows were featuring pea coats. The fashion forward Italians already knew that the pea coat was going to be a must have this winter. And why not?
Pea coats have been around since the 1700's. Originally used by European Navies, the pea coat got it's name from the fabric it was made of. First called a pilot cloth coat, pilot coat, p-coat and finally a pea coat. The US military issue has
 long been a favorite of mine and at The Vintage Peddler we try to keep a good inventory in stock. We carry mens' pea coats and ladies' pea coats so if your looking for a pea coat - check us out.

Click...clack...click...clack...click...clack...click.claclackclackclack...
remember?
I was about 12 years old when I got my first pair. Yeah-they were PINK!
Back then people didn't worry about silly little things like seatbelts, car seats, secondhand smoke or cholesterol. So, it should come as no surprise that little attention was paid to toy safety. Heck, clackers were harmless compared to some of the childhood toys I live through. I still have scars from a horrifyingly traumatic Creepy Crawly Machine incident. You remember-metal mold trays filled with hot melted goo. And, boy did that little light bulb in my Easy Bake oven get hot. Well, hot enough to cook brownies as well as fingers.
So, imagine my excitement when my daughter called me from an auction last weekend. "Mom, there's a huge box of Ka nockers here. I am not sure what they are but they look old." "Huh?" I replied. That's not what we called them so I had no idea what she was talking about. "You know. I don't know. There, like, two balls on a string with a little ring." She said. That triggered a flash flood of long repressed memories!
"Get'em!...you gotta get'em!" *must have must have must have*
You know that little voice. Come on, I'm not the only one that hears the voice. Why are you looking at me like that? Okay, moving on....
Long story short- apparently I wasn't the only one who remembered these and the bidding was fierce but in the end she brought home the prize. About 100 sets of Ka Nockers!
Yeah we have a few bruises but how could we help ourselves. It only took me a few tries to recapture the skill level I had at 12. Okay...that's not saying much. Ouch!
If you remember Clackers-(otherwise known as Bonkers, Champions, Clack Clacks, Clackers, Click Clacks, Crackers, K-Nokkers, Kabangers, Ker- Knockers, Klackers, Klick Klacks, Klik Klaks, Klikies Knicker, Knockers, Knockers, Krazy Klacker, Kwik Klack, Mini Poppers, Moon Rocks, Nocknocks, Popper Knockers, Quick Klacks, Quick Clacks, Quick Wacks) you may want to check out my website. I'll be selling some but not as toys! These are collectables. Times have changed. We do not arm out children these days.

By all rights the lovely Lana Turner was the original 'Sweater Girl'. Although she didn't like the term and thought it took away from her image as a serious actress the label stuck. And why not? The lady knew how to wear a sweater!

Whether at 15 (left) or 40 (right) Lana was, is and will always be our favorite 'Sweater Girl'.

Below are some images of real life 'sweater girls' that I pulled from the pages of some old knitting pattern magazines that I have. If you are a knitter and would like a copy of any of these patterns just drop me a line ($5ea)

Newly listed on TheVintagePeddler.com & on TheVintagePeddler's auctions are these fabulous vintage sweaters (below).

Just in time for Viva Las Vegas. Bring out your own inner Pin Up Sweater Girl & wear 'em like you own 'em!

We were so there. No way we could miss this one.
The ad read:

Unbelievable OLD TIMEY COUNTRY AUCTION

Sat. Nov 11th @ 10 am

20044 Efird Rd. Albemarle NC.
View Pictures
Selling Antiques, primitives, and collectibles at the old home place of Rosa and Lora Efird. Rosa and Lora were old maid sisters long ago deceased and nothing has been removed the home.
Note: One of the oldest home places remaining in Stanly County, dating back at least 3 generations to the early 1800's

So that's where we were today-all day. We were sure to find some bargains, right? After all we're talking Albemarle North Carolina - a sleepy little town about 40 miles east of Charlotte and 100 miles west of Raleigh and not a freeway in sight. Oh, and most recent claim to fame Albemarle is the hometown of American Idol contestant Kellie Pickler. Um, yeah. So how much competition could there be, right?

Okay, well the good news is that it was a beautiful day. Clear skies & temperatures in the seventies made for a nice drive and it's always nice to get out of the house. But, apparently that's what everyone else in the Piedmont area was thinking. The auction was packed. I'm mean I am pretty sure that the entire town of Albemarle was there. And they came with bucket loads of money, too- and prepared to bid up and buy up anything and everything that wasn't nailed down. I've been to plenty of auctions and I am familiar with the frenzy of bidding but I have never seen any auctioneer get the kind of bids/money for just, well, crap. Yeah, I know, I know- one man's trash is another man's treasure and all that. But sometimes trash is trash.

Oh, don't get me wrong. There was some cool old stuff there. And, I am by no means an expert on all things collectable. I make no claim to be. But I have been in the business for quite a long time and I've been to countless auctions, flea markets, estate sales and garage sales in my day. I try to stick to what I know and/or what I like but I can spot a bargain most of the time. That's not to say that I haven't, on occasion, been totally blown away by something that was worth way more than I thought it was. And that's what I was thinking as I was sitting under a beautiful Carolina blue sky today watching old slave documents bringing bids of $500 plus. Who knows-maybe they're worth it. Maybe they're worth more.
But then as the auction continued I started to notice that there were things that I did know the value of that were going for way more than they were worth. For instance there was a little toy typewriter that went for over $50. A typewriter that I've seen two of in the last month at flea markets in the $10-20 range. A lot of 6 or 7 old ratty homemade dresses went for $65 and a lot of a dozen wrinkled up moldy hats went for about $50. So now I'm thinking these people are smoking something other than tabacci in their pipes. Okay, sit back and relax. We're here for the ambiance at this point. I've got my eye on a couple of things but I'm not holding out much hope that I'll be bringing home a bargain.

My usual game plan at an auction goes something like this: I scope out the things I want to bid on and make notes. First thing I look for is, of course, vintage clothing and anything fashion related like purses, hats, gloves, magazines, catalogs- you get the idea. Most of that's for resale. Then anything that catches my eye that I might like. Things I collect like squirrels, lamps, retro stuff and anything else I might want to just have for myself. Then I usually get a hotdog, find a chair and watch the bidding for a bit. I try to get an idea as to what kind of bidders we've got and who the dealers are. It doesn't take long to figure out, for example, if there are toy collectors or dealers present. If there are a couple of them at least I know I won't be bidding on toys. Toys aren't my thing. I don't know toys and I won't get a bargain on toys when dealers are bidding. Same goes for pottery or glassware or anything else. If I am not sure of the value I will not bid against dealers or collectors. Now I will hold my own in the categories I do know or if there is something I just want for myself. And if there are no toy dealers there, for instance, I may take a chance on some toys.

At this auction everybody was bidding on everything. And bidding high. There was scant little there that I wanted so that was good, I guess. By around 3 o'clock I hadn't bid on anything but I had my eye on a boxful of old catalogs from the 40's, 50's and 60's, a pretty good size lot of old hosiery still in the original boxes and some squirrel things. I confess, by this point I was determined not to leave empty handed and when the box of catalogs finally hit the block I bid more than I had intended. But I won them. Take that! And who was this old guy bidding against me anyway. Where the hell did he come from. Grrrrr. I am now the proud owner of this box of old catalogs and I have no idea how I am going to get them to the van. The box must weigh 80 pounds! I'm on a roll now so when the hosiery came up there was no stopping me-yeah I won those, too. And at a bargain price I must say. I bid on a couple of other things and ended up with a squirrel glass and a squirrel planter so, all in all, it ended up being a nice day. I was happy.

Back at home I sat down at the computer and looked up a few things on eBay. I couldn't find a single slave document that had sold for more than a couple of hundred dollars. Interesting. But I did see that the Sears 1962 Christmas Catalog I just brought home recently sold on eBay for $251.00! I guess I did get a bargain after all.

So, what did they call that hat?

Hats from the forties.

Here's a page out of the Montgomery Ward
 Fall/Winter 1941 Catalog. I added the names in bolder print
 so they would be easier to read. I know when I am selling vintage
 hats sometimes I have trouble describing them or even knowing what kind
 of hat they are. So I made up this little cheat sheet to help and
 I thought I would share it here. This is just one of several pages
 I made up and if there is interest I post the rest of the hat pages from
 this catalog.

Here are the names that Montgomery Wards
 used starting at the upper left and going counter clockwise.

The Gaucho, The Campus Cap, The Roller, The
 Sailor Beret, The Scottie Cap, The Airliner, The Hat & Muff, Fur
 Fabric Set, The Pompadour, Dutch Cap, Flowers & Maline, Velvet
 Bonnet, Little Bonnet, Sweetheart Bonnet. And in the center from
 left to right: The Pork Pie, The Classic Favorite, The Bow Pill
 Box & The Big Bonnet.

Ahhhh, the Flair!

The first and only time that I've seen
 one of these modern beauties in real life was in Houston Texas in about
 1983. I was in my early 20's as was the stove apparently and I
 immediately fell in love! And that one wasn't even pink. I
 was a newlywed and we were at a dinner party I think. I don't
 really remember much about that day as a matter of fact I remember very
 little about the 80's as a whole but that's another story. But I
 do remember that stove.

It was so unique and I had never seen
 anything like it. Sure, I'd seen old stoves before and even really
 old stoves but nothing as incredibly glorious as this one. I
 was in awe and I just wanted to play with it but that wasn't in the
 cards that day. You see - the stove I saw was covered in pots and pans -
 it was, after all, a dinner party and my fancy little stove was 'on
 duty'. So I could only imagine the stovetop 'gliding' back and
 forth and imagine it I did. How ingenious!

As I was flipping through some old
 magazines I came across this ad. Memories of that day, long ago,
 came flooding back. Well, at least the ones about the stove
 -everything else is still as fuzzy as ever but it does give me hope that
 my memory is not as bad I thought it was. Apparently it is
 triggered by images. But I digress - Back to the stove. I
 love this ad almost as much as I loved that stove at first sight.
 Even the name is terrific. The Flair by Frigidaire! All pink
 and black with little starburst covered glass, fancy knob and shiny
 chrome. What a wonderful example of the industrial design of the
 times.

Here it is featured in a kitchen design.

Then I found this ad so it looks like
 there was some copycatting going on. I am not sure which came
 first but it was such a cool design that it was sure to be copied.
 The Tappan Fabulous 400 -and it looks like it came in PURPLE!

I used to think my dream kitchen would
 include a massive Wolfe range but I have changed my plans. I am on
 a hunt for a Flair. In pink, of course. Or maybe a Tappan
 Fabulous 400 -in purple.

Obviously if Wisconsin beats Denver and then wins the championship game on Saturday they get the automatic bid and gain entrance into the NCAA tournament. I've found two scenarios that also allow Wisconsin to gain entrance into the tournament if by some reason they don't win the final five (Which we all know they are going to do so this is just a waste of bandwith).
Scenario 1: Northern Michigan wins third place game
Hockey East-No matter what, Boston University has to win first game of Hockey East vs. Boston College, then either Boston University or Northeastern can win the Hockey East title.
ECAC-All that matters Is that St. Lawrence doesn't win a game.
Atlantic-Air Force needs to win tournament.
CCHA-Higher seeds win except for Northern Michigan winning the third place game.
WCHA-we win against Denver, then lose to Nodak. Denver needs to win the third place game.
Scenario 2: Northern Michigan wins CCHA tournament
Everything as listed above, except Northern Michigan beats Notre Dame and beats Michigan in the final. Notre Dame has to win the third place game.
So there are two senarios that get us in. Can you find any others?
PS, props to Exile on Dayton Street for the Dumb and Dumber reference.

We are back and a wee little give-a-way over at the Women's Colony
The trip to Crozet went very well.
The weather threaten rain and cold, but it turned out to be great weather with the exception of some sprinkles on Saturday, which gave way to sun and warm weather as the day moved on.
Sunday morning started out cold, but soon turned beautiful and warm.
One of the best parts of going to this show is I get to see my youngest sister, Leslie. She and her husband and daughter live very close to Crozet and give us a place to stay and food to eat.
How is that for good planning?
Picture- Leslie, me and friend Pat.
My sister and her husband took us out to a great brewpub on Friday night for beer and bar food.
We sat outside and the night was beautiful with the mountains all around us.
Sigh.... where was my camera? Tucked away safe at their house....
The place went went was called "the Devil's Backbone."
It is out near Wintergreen just in case you have a need for beer and some skiing.
When we drove in Friday morning the trees had bits of color in the leaves.
But- through out the week-end, with the cool snap, the leaves went to reds and yellows over night.
By this morning it was a spectacular drive through the Va. mountains back to the Piedmont of the Carolina's.
Plus- I will get fall twice.
It's like having your cake and eating it too!
The great weather did bring out some buyers and we came home a bit lighter then we left.
That is a good thing.
Last week I offered to put one of our oil lamps up on the Women's Colony website as a give away.
Go over and make a comment on the page and you could end up with one of our oil lamps.
Also take time to read some of the pages- it is a blog which I enjoy and hope some of you might as well.
Time to unpack and get right back to work.

New Financial Services research report from Business Monitor International is now available from Fast Market Research
Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/02/2014 -- The latest figures published by market leaders support our view that the current challenging conditions will persist over the next few quarters, in both segments. In the life sector, some multi-nationals have registered growth in premiums of around 10% in recent months due to effective marketing campaigns. This growth has meant a significant growth in premiums but has been at the expense of other insurers. The non-life sector has also faces some substantial challenges recently, the continued slide in motor insurance premiums being the most prominent issue for many companies. Despite this however the overall outlook for the insurance industry looks set to improve in the coming quarters with a strong chance of steady, albeit tepid, growth in premiums.
View Full Report Details and Table of Contents
Despite the fact that a number of companies have witnessed a strong growth in premiums in the non-life segment, these gains have been principally focused in small niche markets. The main drag on growth in non-life sector over our forecast period will be poor performance of motor insurance premiums, with the sector set to see its non-life market share contract considerably.
Regarding Hungary's life segment, increased innovation amongst the market leaders and the development of new product ranges may result in a pickup in premiums growth rates. Recent developments such as VIG's takeover of Hungary's AXA subsidiary also suggest that there is some confidence returning to the market after a turbulent few years
Recent Developments:
- As of mid 2014, Hungary's economy is experiencing a steady but slow recovery, despite this at present conditions are not favourable for insurers. However, a general pick up is expected over the coming quarters.
- Over capacity is still a serious issue in the non-life segment and prices and rates continue to experience downwards pressure, especially in the motor insurance sector.
- Non-life companies are becoming more risk averse and a moving portfolios away from motor-related lines.
The Hungary Insurance Report has been researched at source and features Business Monitor International (BMI)'s independent assessment and forecasts for the insurance sector.

The craziest thing this year....
The weekend started out fairly mild. Mom and I went out for an early breakfast at Broder, with Scandinavian treats for breakfast.
while Owen and Daddy went fishing in Sauvie Island (caught an odd assortment of Starry Flounder, bullhead catfish, and perch)
Owen has grown up so quickly, we have to get the stache under control.

I have recently really been loving pastels; mint, peach, lilac etc. I also have had my eye on some Hawaiian-Tropical prints and now nearing towards tribal style and also sunset shades so decided to make a post on some summer prints and styles I have my eye on.
I bought a dress from Motel last year some time it was black but had an awesome tropical print on and a cute collar (see below for the print) needless to say I don't wear it with the collar done up as I would look like a muppet but I really love the print.
The bright colours make me feel like I should be on a beach in Miami, I love it on dresses, bikinis, tops even shorts but I really do not like it on trousers I feel it looks too nineties and too much like a mum in dodgy jeans...sorry.
Bottom left dress-Oasis £50, Bralet- Topshop £25, Wedges-River Island £50, T-Shirt-Marc by Marc Jacobs £290, Bandeau dress-Miss Selfridge £35
These two prints (inc Egyptian) I really haven't ever truly touched upon, I have a few pastel pieces now and typical tropical print bikinis and the mentioned dress but I find this Aztec print a ;lot harder to pull off.
It was the Egyptian style and Elizabeth Taylor (icon) inspired pieces I saw on Topshop which caught my attention-all sold out now though, dammit!
I love the brunt orange and the rustic browns and reds of these pieces but I think they often look better of loose, less fitted items and sometimes these can be unflattering but I would love a bag or a simple tee in a warm orange and brown print, ready for summer :)
Nail wraps-Nail Rocks £6, Clutch- Etro £695, Strap top- Topshop £26, Earrings-River Island £9, Mini Skirt -River Island £15, Sandals-New Look £24.99, Shift Top- Tibi £245, Dress-Warehouse £65, Wedges- Asos £90, Necklace- Susan Caplan (from ASOS) £285
Yay pastels! I never thought I would be able to wear pastels but I've found make up (eye shadow and lipsticks really) cardigans/jackets and hair pieces really work in my favour as opposed to ice cream coloured jeans or pretty pastel shirts.
Either pale or tanned I think there is definitely a shade out there, its now become stylish to add some aqua or candyfloss shade to your hair too, cute!
Blazer-Preen £1,170, Satchel-New Look £19.99, Bikini- Missoni £225, Heeled Pumps- ASOS £55, Skirt- Topshop £25, Jumper- Topshop £26, Dress- Topshop £30, Clutch-Diane Von Furstenburg £280, Flat Pumps-New Look £15.99, Bracelet- Pippa Small £1,995, Socks- Topshop £3.50
This is a new group of shades I have slowly come to like; oranges, peach, deep pink, yellow, coral, rouge etc. Warm and cool at the same time as the shades are warm but offer such a cool style.
I literally love the sunset clutch so much, shame I don't have £500! I love these hues compared to the lurid brights, they are so much calmer and easier to wear

📒Basics Of A Roman Catholic Theology ✍ William A. Van Roo
📝Basics of a Roman Catholic Theology Book Synopsis : The author says: what I say here briefly will be found stated and elaborated at appropriate places in the course of the book. But anyone who considers reading a book has a right to know some things before he or she decides whether the book id worth looking into. I gather here such helpful information. First, a few words about the title of the book. Some may be shocked or repelled or both by the qualification Roman Catholic. So I shall try to provide a shock-absorber. I Entitle the book as I do simply to be coherent with my conception of what theology is, and my intention to set forth some basics of the theological works which I myself project. As I understand it, theology is the effort to understand within a life of faith. As a work, it is the result of that effort. The matrix, the living setting in which alone a theology can develop, is religious experience of the theologian within his or her community of believers. Outside, or apart from, such a concrete setting, no one can reflect in any meaningful way on the structures of such experience, and of the experienced reality. I cannot, therefore, write a book of basics of theology in general, for I have no experience of what it is to be a Jew or a Moslem, for example, and I could say nothing which would have any claim to account for Jewish or Moslem theology
📒Old Testament Theology ✍ Gerhard Hasel

Fender Duosonic var - sammen med Fender Musicmaster, Fenders to såkaldte student-models, blandt elektriske guitarer, og forløbere til den legendariske, Fender Mustang. Kort fortalt, er de lidt mindre og har lidt kortere hals, end "normale" Fender guitarer.
Yes! Sasquatch 2 is alive ! Shell pink relic of 1964 Duosonic. Seymour Duncan Antiquities rule…this guitar sounds killer. Tone is Hendrixesque, in fact i think he recorded some of Axis on one. Sort scale with 12's is a great feeling combo- David Byrne had the right idea. I love this monster!Another Rory's Relics. You can check it out at Mike and Mike's Guitar Bar if you are in the Seattle area per chance….
Found this '58 Fender Duo Sonic hiding in my rosemary bush. This is the nicest, most complete Duo we've ever had in the shop, with an incredibly figured flame maple neck. Not a solder joint touched, and the neck had never been off until I popped it today. Fender had put this guitar together before the Desert Sand finish was dry, and the neck was firmly adhered to the original finish in the pocket. Was quite a trick to gently ease it free! #guitar #fender #duosonic #precbs #offsetguitars #desertsand #anodizedaluminum #shortscale #flamemaple #1958 (at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar)
This '66 Fender Duo-Sonic II will be coming with us to the SEATAC Guitar Show tomorrow! And those amps, too! #guitar #vintage #fender #duosonic #vintageguitars #gretsch #amp #seatacguitarshow2014 (at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar)
The Blogger staff got around to lifting the block on my Duosonic site today which is good news. It seems that the number of generated links in the actual post text set off the automated alarm bells and got the blog blocked. I'll be trying a few new Blogger blogs with the Sniplet widget handled in a different way to see if another template method avoids the blocker bot better. I'll do a new, short, post about that later.

So I was back in Cost-U-Lots the other day, and I was looking to get some cheddar cheese for making lasagna, and I come across a big package in the big fridge thingie. Having spent enough time on the Rock to know all the important things, I checked the expiration date.
It had gone bad almost a week earlier.
But more importantly, I can't find the big bottles of Coke made in Fiji with real sugar that I like. So I find someone to help me and ask where the Cokes have been moved to (she doesn't know) and that oh yeah, there's dairy products in the fridge that's about to start coming with some free penicillin, if you get my drift.
She doesn't know what to do, so she gets her manger. They have a lengthy conversation in Samoan. We all go over and look at the cheese together. Yep, it's still expired. Finally, he tells me "The lady will come by and lower the price tomorrow morning."
Wait, Google tells me that it's safe to eat until it starts to get moldy, but I don't really think anyone should be selling it.
Annnd now another site is telling me that it's safe to eat cheddar for at least 3 months after its expiration date. Nevermind. Sorry everyone, I'm just not much of a cheese-eater. Too late at night to erase this now-pointless entry and write a new one. No one in this story did anything dumb but me. At least I got my big bottle of Coke.

Catie Serex is a member of the Class of 2011 who is double majoring in Political Science and International Studies with a minor in History. Since an early age, Catie has possessed a passion for helping others, especially children. This desire to serve began to grown in high school when she established an Invisible Children chapter at her high school, and traveled twice to Nicaragua on church mission trips. She has continued to work with Invisible Children throughout her undergraduate career, assisting a club at Turrentine Middle School and being one of two leaders of ëThe Rescueí in Raleigh, part of Invisible Childrenís global event, ëThe Resuceí.
On campus, Catie is a member of Elonís Model United Nations club, in which she serves as the Secretary General of the International Crisis Conference. In the spring of 2010, Catie studied abroad at the University of St. Andrews, an experience she will describe as ëlife changingí. Her course work in Scotland had a direct impact on her decision to conduct independent research during her senior year. Her research focus involves studying methodologies that can be used by actors in intra- and inter-state conflict to transcend the security dilemma and approach a peace process, a topic she hopes to pursue in graduate studies (at St. Andrews, of course!).
An experienced traveler, Catie has made filling her passport a goal since the tender age of three. Having been to 19 countries over the last 21 years, she has a raging sense of wanderlust that keeps her dreaming of new adventures to take. Her travel icons include Rick Steves, Charley Boorman, and Ewan McGregor (reference the Long Way Round / Long Way Round / By Any Means series), and she keeps a copy of ë1,000 Places to See Before You Dieí at the ready. Catie also has a knack for networking, and enjoys meeting semi-famous people, although sheís still pursuing the ultimate meet and greet with all four members of U2.

These are going to be my less serious goals. Just stuff like books I want to read and an update on my personal challenges. Anything that requires more thought, like how many books I aim on reading this summer will have to wait for later this week as right now I'm barely able to form cohesive sentences without re-writing them at least five times. I used up so much energy during exams that it's going to take me a while to get back to normal. The heat also kills me so the combination right now is pretty lethal.
The Goals
At the beginning of the year I set myself four goals:
1) To read more contemporaries
So far I have read two contemporaries: The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight. I enjoyed both to varying degrees though its clear that I prefer the lighter side of the genre. I look forward to reading more contemps over the summer!
2) To complete my Goodreads challenge
I am well on my way to completing my challenge and think that I can even beat it before school starts again as I read a TON in the summer.
So far I have read The Great Gatsby , The Picture of Dorian Grey and The Hobbit, if that counts as one. I'm never sure where to draw the line at what it considered a classic and what is isn't…. Anyways, there are some classics that are at the top of my TBR pile that I can't wait to read this summer.
I'm horrible at completing series. I'll read the first, enjoy it, and then never read the rest. I'm not sure if I'll even actually complete this goal, but I'm leaving it up here as motivation.
The Books/Authors
Here is a list of some books that I need to read this summer or I might never read them. Because it seriously feels that way. Plus some authors who I love and need to read more of their novels. So here they are in no particular order…
- The Gone Series by Michael Grant. I enjoyed the first book, Gone, and then never read the rest… and every one seems to like them. I'll wait till I'm feeling a little less paranoid then usual and then pick it up.
- The Maximum Ride Series by James Patterson. Pretty much same as above minus the paranoia.
- Graceling by Kristin Cashore. I've been meaning to read this for ages. I should love it. It's fantasy and I'm a graceling myself (I have two different coloured eyes). Maybe I'm just scared I'll be disappointed?
- The Book Thief. I started this book, it had to go back to the library and I never saw it again though everyone in my family read it. I will get to it though. I hope.
- The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini. I read the first three books, then by the time the last book came out I realized that I seriously needed to re-read the previous books because I didn't remember a thing. And these books are huge…
- The Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud. These are my brothers favourite books and he might just murder me if I don't read them.
- Holly Black. I've only read one of her books but they're all on my TBR.
- Michael Ondaatje. I LOVED Cat's Table and need more of that beautiful writing and stories that imprint themselves on your mind forever.
- Kate DiCamillo. Another author I love and need more of. So far I've read The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, The Tiger Rising and The Tale of Despereaux though that one's due for a re-read.
- Neal Gaiman. Everyone's been raving about him lately and I've only read his two middle grade novels; The Graveyard Book and Coraline.
