Busy Bee

Lately, my life has been a bee hive of activity. Slowly, I've been moving stuff into the new space I've taken at French Hen Antiques. Moving into such a large space has been a combination of complete exhilaration and mild panic. I've just had my head down and my nose to the grind stone. Hard work does pay off right???

This time of year everyone in town is "buzzing" with anticipation for the semi-annual Petaluma Antique Fair. This is a great show that takes place on Kentucky St. in historic downtown Petaluma. April 28th and 29th actually make for quite a busy weekend here in town. Saturday, the town gathers to enjoy the infamous Butter & Eggs Parade. Petaluma, used to be the chicken capital of the world. So we take chickens...and eggs for that matter, very seriously around here!

This all adds up to a lot of activity for our town, which is a welcome boost for the local economy and great incentive for us shopkeepers to load our stores with our best for the upcoming festivities. That said, it's really putting the pressure on to have both my spaces filled to the brim and fabulous!

Tomorrow, I'll be taking a buffet, bed and picnic table in. I have to work on two window displays, attack a small mountain of laundry, paint, price, shop for more items, wash the other half of my dishes (gave up at the halfway point tonight), coach Brooke's softball game, help with homework, cook a dinner, pay some bills...is that all? Like I said, I'm a busy, busy bee.
