Happy Monday!

" Art is the only way to run away without leaving home" T.T.

I must be crazy but I love Mondays....

Buon Compleanno

Buon Compleanno Giuseppe! It's my big brother's birthday tomorrow (left). If I remember correctly this photo was taken by my father at the beach house in Sicily, "Punta Secca" on a Sunday morning. I was probably 5 yrs old and look at my cute white shoes and matching purse. My brother Roberto (right) was my worst nightmare but I love him very much.
Auguri Giuseppe
Baci da Rita

Great sale!

What a great time I had at the sale. This three wonderful pieces belong to Linda, of course they went bye-bye (ciao,ciao).... She is an amazing lady, the trouble maker that started all.  A mamma, creates great pieces and takes care of us vendors and customers.


We had so many new friends stopping by. Debbie Hodge made me smiled all day long and gave me new ideas to use for my soldering. Sheila Payne thank you for your help behind the counter, grazie. And guess what! Two nice ladies and one adorable husband (sorry I don't remember there names) drove from Las Vegas early 4am just to come and see the Barn! Hope they stop by the blog so I can mention their names. Here they are. Ciao Rita
