Remember Steve Rogers and his booth Prize?
Seems I’m not the only one cleaning house.
Once a year Steve cleans out his inventory so he can begin the hunt again.
And, if you’re in town, you’re in luck.
Steve’s sale is Friday and Saturday from 9 – 4.
85th & Nall. Look for the yellow signs.
Will I be there? With bells on, darling.
Oh if I could, I would….
My mouth is watering! Do I dare come to the city this weekend? I can see several things I’d like to bring home!

Do you have a U-haul? I would not be able to walk away empty handed, even in this time of economic bail-out. Prize possessions to be had over there.
I can’t get over the number of wonderful shops that are accessible to you in the big city. Tempting, of course, but so much fun as well! His wares look marvelous!
If I leave now, I could drive all day and be there by the opening tomorrow! This looks like a great sale!!!
Please let us know what you get!! Looks like there are some great things there.
Jessie (of lucky stone) and I are going treasure hunting tomorrow, hope to see you there!
so envious!
Ooh, I can’t wait till tomorrow morning. I will be there with eagle eyes. (Not that I Need anything!)
Patricia – I’m a wreck that I did not title the post Prize Possessions – so much better. I’ll let you guys know if I pick anything up.
Oh that looks like heaven. Too bad im in NY! Have loads of fun and get lots of goodies. Remember to post pics when you get back!

I spy a very cool lion and maybe some vintage Christmas ornaments? Like the black urns too.
Looks like I have plans for my Friday lunch hour now!
Patricia — the Friday, Oct. 3 essay is just beautiful. Better than the first even.
A Tale of Three Nurseries – what a wonderful story. Bravo!

FYI: What a terrific and funny and charming essay re nurseries and children and parenthood (couldn’t find the comment spot for it). Thank you and bravo.
Terrific and funny and charming, and one day, a wonderful gift for your boys to read. Well done Mrs. B.
Patricia,
I am reading and re-reading this post which I love.
You capture the beauty and the power in words that only a mother can exude. This should be a book.
I will use that line on every one of your posts.

I really loved your post on the nursery. Your posts are treasures.
Why aren’t you submitting your posted articles to magazines (Real Simple, Cookie, Wondertime, etc.)? Personally, I love reading them for free, but why shouldn’t YOU get paid?? Sheesh.
Anon – rampant and unchecked insecurity mostly. I just had someone the other day say, “So you are basically just waiting for a national magazine to ask you for an article?” Hmmm…that does seem unlikely. Two more at least then I promise I’ll send something into the real world. Thanks for reading.
Mrs. B,
Forgive me; it has been months since I last commented on your entries. Yet, I still visit, enjoy, and recommend you to pals.
And because I enjoy your writings/pictures so, I have roped you into this game of blog tag that is going ’round by including a link to your blog in the “six blogs I enjoy” portion of my post. It probably won’t cause that national magazine to come knocking, but does indicate my sincere respect.
Carry on…I’m off to browse Mary’s Tablescapes (online, natch).
