by JoAnnI just got back to the shop after having a great experience.
Rick babysat the store for a few hours while I was a vender at the Queens luncheon at a local restaurant in Red Lion today.
Roxie Woolridge , who heads a local Red Hat Ladies chapter invited me. She and her posse of delightful friends [...]
by JoAnnI just joined a forum called the fedora lounge and found some very fascinating people and discussions on the topics that interest me the most-vintage!!

The best part of the day was [...]

I bought the box [...]
