I am doing more sitting than moving as the swelling is getting worse and worse… Yesterday I sat at this computer and made signs for my book store.. I am so proud of it wish you all could see it. I am going to take pictures this weekend.  Business has been very good.. I only need Fantasy books and lots of plastic bags… I have some LeapPad products I am taking of line and taking to the store for the holidays… I have bags of K-Nex’s range in price from $3.00 to $5.00

Back and Glad to be Here

Sunday, November 14th, 2010

Well we are back at the flea market.. I thought we would never be ready to open.. Took us almost a whole day to set up the book cases and put about 10 boxes of books away.. We would of not got that far if we did not get a surprise of help from my sister in law and her husband. … Friday I spent the entire day putting books away… Yesterday was our first day open and it was slow at first  so I just kept putting stock away… I have so much more room  I will take pictures next week when I have more done… I am keeping a sale table up for the children’s and small books. It use to be on a card table  every other week now it will be up all the time… I will have a Christmas table after I get some more stuff put away. Maybe next week. Have been saving out the holiday books as I run across them.. I have a cute wooden bench by my front door its painted red thought it would make a cute book case for the Christmas books… I have a peg board that I will put the ornament on that I have  been collecting all year.  Well I need to get back to bed as I am getting sleepy.. Come see us and bring your plastic bags and your books…. see you soon.

I don’t have many  Waiting for Agnes left… you can find them at www.readerwave.ecrater.com and www.ebay.com  Only one more week.. or while supplies last.

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010

Today is a do stuff day.. catch up …We took the middle seats out of the van today. Getting ready for the first load of book cases.  Might take us three trips to get them over there.  then its about 9 trips of books… My car is already loaded so when book cases and tables are in place we can start putting the books away.. I hope to start that after lunch tomorrow.  Friday is my husbands birthday and he will be busy helping me.. Its so nice of him to put up with doing this with me.. I am very lucky.

Another thought I have canceled Amazon again… Book has not sold in two months.  I am getting ready to stop selling Waiting for Agnes.  Next week will be the last week to be listed at www.ebay.com and www.readerwave.ecrater.com I only have a few left.

Book Store Back

Monday, November 1st, 2010

Happy Monday only 10 more days till the Flea Market is back so I can put my store back together.  Then it’s only two days till it opens… I am so looking forward to it and dreading it also… I have just me to put the books away… I have so many more than when I first started… I started with 30 boxes of 28 books in each box now I have well over 100 boxes I did not count them.. Plus I bought a lot while doing yard sales this past month.   I have the design in my head but getting it to work I hope is the same.  I have some sign idea’s that may or may not work…  Going to put my fan’s in place and cover them.. I had hoped that my granddaughter the artist could draw me some tree’s to put over them. But we could not find the paper.  Some idea’s just don’t get done.. I have one with my sewing machine started.. I had to change the pattern several times as I am making it and do not have one already made… Some prices will change but not much.. I have to compensate for the extra room I have added… The sale on children’s books and  Harliquin etc will be every week unless I run out. I have new bookcases in the middle and they have more shelves so will have more room for books… the theme’s are going to flip flop.. Putting the mystery etc in front and the historical romance in the back.. I got a lot more authors that I did not have tried to work off my list but was hard to find.  Went to the flea market in GA a few miles up the road.. The books there are $2.oo and up. I know that I have been selling my rubber band sets to cheap… This will change later in the month. I am not going to look for set for awhile till I get things squared away.  As you might know one of the days that we move back is my hubbys birthday.. I am sorry you have to work with me on this then… What a birthday celebration.  Happy Birthday Honey.

We went to the fair yesterday was interesting… We had not gone  so decided to do it so we could say we had.  I wanted a gyro and we went to the place and they did not have any.. Man was I upset.. the one thing I went for… we saw all the booths… and talked to some friends from the flea market.  Then we came home and had a wonderful roast and mashed potatoes and peas… Was great as always thanks honey.

Waiting for Agnes only a few copys left.  get at www.ebay.com  www.amazon.com and www.readerwave.ecrater.com

Preparing

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

This is the time of year I miss being up north. We have changing of the leaves but nothing like my kids or sister get where they are. Saw pictures of Central Park down town New York City yesterday while watching The Early Show. But when they get the colder weather and all the snow I am glad to be here in North Florida where I am cold in two layers but don’t have to put on three or four … I can remember getting wrapped up to go sleding.. I could not move and had so much trouble with the sled, skates etc….

I started playing with making patterns to sew yesterday.. I think I made three sizes before I was happy… Now today I might get busy with cutting out.  Should be quite a feet if I can pull this off.. Been working on some of my books in garage with pricing them in preparation to go back to book store… I am keeping paperbacks at $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00, hard covers will be more,priced as marked.( Hard covers will also be 6 for must be the same or lesser value of what you have bought)  I will have children’s book sale and regular price so pricing those ran into a very nice selection . Children’s and Harlequin will be on sale tables every week now. I will have more room…. I will still take trade ins.. a book and .50 for a book.  Hard Cover books will be able to trade for another hard cover  and half of the price of the book.  So if you bring in a hard cover book and want a  hard cover book it will cost you 1 hard cover  and 1/2 the price of the book you want.  (example   $3.00 book will cost you one hard cover and $1.50

Friday yard sales not so hot.. But look at the money I saved.. LOL. Ran in to lots of people that we know from yard sailing and from flea market. That’s always nice as I see know one during the week.. And that is my fault. I have gotten to know my neighbor down the street from her coming to the flea market, we have said we would get together and we never do.   On another note got email from granddaughter for a program she is going to be in at Epcot. I can’t wait to go.  I think we will go to her house and follow them over that way we don’t get separated.

I had a nice email from a customer in Austrailia saying they received there book ok and had passed info on to someone else so they could buy one. Thanks that is very nice of you. I only have a few left.Waiting for Agnes .

Doctors and Books

Thursday, October 21st, 2010

WE VOTED THIS MORNING. HAD TO WAIT IN LINE..THAT IS WONDERFUL.  I practiced my right to vote and had to wait in a line for early voting. I am so happy to see the people in our town doing this. Its the greatest right you have whether you are a woman or a man. It was given to you use it. So many people in other places do not get to do this or its not done fairly.

I worked on my boxes of books this morning pricing some of the ones I got last week.. I worked on my check book this morning and unless I have a great wind fall I won’t be shopping for more anytime soon.  Oh well I got a few when we went to Gainesville yesterday. Alot of the authors I had on my list were not in the store.  I have read about 5 new books sense we have been home and not at the flea market.  I have to stop finding new ones to buy. Don’t you know November 1st Robyn Carr has a new one coming out. about Virgin River. I can’t wait. I am down to 12 copys of Waiting for Agnes so go to www.ebay.com www.amazon.com www.readerwave.ecrater.com and get yours now.

Went for a sonogram yesterday(no I am not an over 60 pg woman.) thank god… But I had it on my legs and did find I have 6 valves in 2 veins in my legs that are not working… So will have 4 procedures in doctors office between December and Jan.  That should take the swelling down. My legs swell more than they should and its not water but blood seeping out of the veins.. The procedure is called The vnus Closure  you can read up on it at . www.veinsolutions.org(no I will not miss Christmas with grandchildren).  I guess I have to be grateful my feet hurt and I went to have some work done as this doctor is the one who ordered the sonogram and is doing the procedures in his office. Dr. Scott Koppel of Gainesville. and Live Oak.

Books and Store

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010

Yesterday was a busy and not so productive day.  Went to Walmart and took some things back. Bought some hooks for hanging up new sheets for my store. They did not have the ones we wanted so Hubby has gone to Home Depot this morning to get some and mulch to match what the neighbor put down last weekend.  I have started wash.  Went to find out where I have to sign up for retirement check from State and did not go to the right place.. Came home and went on line.  Decided I better get my birth certificate out and went to the place where I thought it was. Not there. So Hubby and I started a search .. Decided after an hour or more to order a new one. so went on line  Then they decided they needed more info and I had to call them.. Never got to them.. had me on hold for over and hour. Guess I will try again today.

While at Walmart of course I bought a book and I am reading Jodi Thomas I never find very many books by her. I have also been looking for large print books… I finally found some on eBay. But would love to find them locally.  We went to the flea market indoor and out up in Lake Park, Ga Sunday.  The outdoor had a book person who also sells plants. He lets people trade books for plants.  He charges $2.00 for most books and sets can be as High as $6.00… Boy am I cheap. No wonder my Ga customers come down here. The only things I am going to change some prices on are my hard cover table.. Going back to the prices they are marked. I will have a new children’s section of the $1.00 or more books found some really nice books while out. Hope to have a holiday section some times late November.  Working on getting items will depend on what I find.  I may put out some of the dolls depending on how much room I have.  Will have some more LeapPad items some from before and some newer. You will have to come see us Starting back November 13th. I am ready now but the fair has not come and gone yet.  Had a really good time this weekend.

Don’t forget I still have a few copys of Waiting for Agnes by local Author Joe Bullard you can find it at www.amazon.com www.ebay.com and www.readerwave.ecrater.com  also I have shotglasses at www.shotglassheaven.ecrater.com   Then of course I have some books, dolls,LeapPad at www.readerwave.ecrater.com

I am back… soap was interupted by breaking news.. so missed the storm that was going on Young and the Restless.

We went yard saling today got some nice books.Not nearly as many as last week.  I can’t wait to get back to my book store… The setup has been going over in my head for days.  I know I won’t have it all done the first weekend as It will be just me doing it.. Hubby will help set up the shelves but I don’t expect him to help put them away. I have boxes and boxes of books.. at least 30 more than I had when I started last year.. I have more book cases and will be two spaces bigger than when I first started last Jan. I just love my store. Would love to have a store that is open all the time but the funding just is not there.  What I have is great. I have lots of regular customers that trade and buy.  So people are just not into trading … I get to go yard sailing again tomorrow .. I have not been on a Saturday in a very long time. Those of you who might read this and are customers please bring bags.. I used the very last one before I left… I am hopeing that the first weekend will be a humdinger… The grand opening is the next weekend.  My husbands birthday is one of the days we will be setting up.. I am so sorry huney. Well back to doing what ever  reading a good Christmas book by Janet Dailey its new.  Just finished Susan Wiggs newest one.. Both are great.   Just mailed another Waiting for Agnes that leaves me 13  not many left..
