I'm Back With My Big News

Where do I begin? We have a lot to catching up to do! I got my "big" news in September. I learned, at the "advanced maternal age" of 40, that I was pregnant with my first baby. After 22 years of marriage. We were THRILLED!
















































Baby J is now 4 and a half months old. She is the joy of our lives! You can expect to see plenty of pictures of my sweet, beautiful baby.

When I found out I was pregnant I decided to give up my Queen's Attic booth. I kept my Cotton City booth even though it was badly neglected for awhile. BUT--I think I've gained my Mama/Junker footing.

When I closed my QA booth I sold all of my inventory and shelving to the store owner. This included my beloved cubby shelf. I hated to leave it but, being pregnant, it was just too overwhelming to try to move it back home. So I did. I left it. About a month ago I learned the Queen's Attic was closing. I contacted the owner and she graciously sold it back to me. Granted I had to pay more for it than I did the first time. But I don't care. It's back where it belongs. With me. It is now situated at Cotton City holding some vintage goodies!

I re-did/ re-stocked my booth this past Friday while hubby kept Baby J. I was very happy with how it turned out.

Well, we're pretty much up to date on what's been going on with me. How have you been?

Happy Thanksgiving and Christmas at Cotton City 2012

Happy thanksgiving to all my friends!  I hope you are having a wonderful, thanks filled day and eating lots of good food!  Our big meal is tonight and I can't wait.

I have been on vacation this week and it has been heavenly! I worked at my Cotton City booth yesterday and put out the majority of my Christmas items. I still have to break down my Thanksgiving display and I will probably do that over the weekend. Here are a few iPhone pictures of how it turned out.

This mall frowns on modern items so I'm probably pushing it with this cute Peanuts vignette. But Charlie Brown and the gang remind me of Christmas. Don't they?

Cute knee-hugging elf attached to a ball of mistletoe!

Cute plaid robe for a little girl!

 

 

I still have a couple of items take to the mall but this should get me through most of the Christmas season. Good luck to all of you that are partaking in Black Friday! Until next time, Happy Junking!

Changes at Ms. Jackie's Junque

There have been some big things happening at Ms. Jackie's Junque... some of which I'm not ready to fully disclose :) !

Let me start by saying I was on jury duty for TWO weeks (grand jury). It was my first time to serve on jury duty so they christened me well!

I am now down to one booth. I gave up my space at Queen's Attic. It was a bittersweet decision but I feel it was best. The decision was made based on my "big news" that I can't yet disclose.

I was able to pull myself together and work at my Cotton City booth on Saturday. I threw together a little Thanksgiving vignette. It will need to come down in about two weeks to prepare for Christmas stock....but I'm ok with it. Maybe most of it will sell by then.

This is a busy week for me. My birthday is Wednesday and I have a doctor appointment. Then...I start vacation on Friday! Yay me! I will be off until the Monday after Thanksgiving.

Happy Veterans Day to all our military! I attended a fancy military event Friday night with Mr. Jackie's Junque. Ha ha. Don't tell him I called him that, okay?

Until next time,
Happy Junking!

P. S. This is for my friend Bargain Hunting Treasure Seeker!  I was finally able to find my Pilgrim!  Hopefully mine will go to a new home soon!
