<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;">I Tried, I Really Did!</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I tried to keep up my blog. I have ideas, I think...this would make a great blog post, etc. But I just can't seem to keep it up. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I do however seem to be able to post pictures from my booth to my Pinterest page and I've started a Facebook page for Elizabeth Ann's. These are just so much easier to me.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Soooo....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm asking you to follow me on </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I also put pictures here of the new merchandise coming into Elizabeth Ann's. I will be sharing BLOGS I think you will like, things I find on PINTEREST that I think might interest others, BEFORE and AFTERS, and maybe a story or two about what's happening in the world of Elizabeth Ann. </span></div>

I've been wanting to add more definition to my booth for a long time. Because to me, there needs to be something to make your eye "stop" between each space. </div>

My booth is at the beginning of an aisle as you enter the LARGE room at the back of the store. So I decided to leave the front open. Sometimes it will be set up as an entrance or sometimes, like now, I'll put a low piece here.<br />

What do you think of the bed springs? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I saw them leaning against an old building and I immediatly thought DISPLAY! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-size: small;">(but these are for sale)</span></em> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I went inside to see if they were for sale. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They were, along with the rest of the bed. <em>darn!</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the price was right and the rails were the old button style metal rails. <br />
Something that is VERY difficult to find. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sold those to a friend of mine that's been looking for some and I have plans to use the headboard and footboard for something at home.<em> <span style="font-size: small;">(I hope to show you that in a few weeks.)</span></em></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Over a year ago at an auction I was highest bidder for a lot of framed prints. This meant I got to be the first to look through and choose from at least 100 pictures. While the highest bidder looks they go on with the auction. When the bidder is finished they "run" it again and then the next person who wins the bid gets to do the same thing. You do feel a little pressure because you know others are waiting on you and you are in front of everyone attending the auction. Luckily I had gotten there early enough that I was able to peruse them ahead of time and have an idea of the ones I wanted. I have since sold all the pictures I bought, but I forgot about this one. Until I unearthed it while cleaning out our little office.</span> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I like it because it is an original photograph.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">(<em>Confession Time</em>: I've never really approached Mr. EA about doing this. I'm actually being practical. We might be selling our house in a few years. So tearing out the linen closet in a small house probably wouldn't be the smartest thing to do. Otherwise I would be all over getting this done.)</span></div>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I do have a <u>very</u> <u>small</u> inkling of what the tornado victims are going through. When I was 13 my mother, two sisters and a I were in our house (about two miles from where I live now) when a tornado hit it. It ripped the roof off and broke out windows. I do remember the roar and the pressure in my ears. That experience has left me with a great respect for tornadoes.
