A Little Fishing This Labor Day Weekend

We fished and fished.....

Drano was packed as fishermen and women were trying to catch the big one!!!

Friday we had perfect weather....Came home with a sunburn but no fish.....

Mike gettin the poles ready...

Saturday we were soaked with rain....

Here is Sarah trying to take some pics without getting wet.

And Christopher....He is a fishin fool!!!

Finally on Saturday night Sarah caught her first Steelhead. Chris also caught one.

Then Sunday night Sarah caught another one..

Wait a minute, what about Me and Mike...Don't we get to catch any????

Mike went home and prepared the fish for the smoker...YUM

Perfect Brine.

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Summer will be back this week....

Soap Making 101

Thursday night I held a soap making class at my home in Camas.

We had a great time visiting. We all had SO much in common...

JUNKIN and a love for SOAP

There was Debbie from Worthy Goods

Toni (Auntie Joy's Sister) and her daughter Emily...

We used all natural ingredients of Palm Oil, Coconut Oil and Olive Oil....Feel the difference...

We mixed it with Sodium Hydroxide (lye)...Be careful!!!!

We swirled and twirled...
End result

Anise Vegetable Based Soap....YUM

Everyone left with lots of great smelling all natural soap and a smile....

Thanks girls for a wonderful class...

Self Torture

Wow, what a week. Here is how my week went. Work, work on furniture, price items, try and sleep, get up do it again, get up do it again. Then Thursday, run several errands, attend a mtg. then meet Christa and Shelby at expo to drop off our goods, go home make another two trips to Portland. Are we done yet????

NOPE

Friday, get up at 5:30 get to Expo at 7:30am, work all day....etc etc. Then comes Monday, back to work.

OK, you get the idea.

Why do we put ourselves to the test like this doing what we love.......JUNKIN IN STYLE

Here are some pictures of our booth at Expo

Thanks girls for your friendship

Happy July 4th

I hope everyone had a fantastic July 4th.

We headed out to the beach property for a 3 day camp out.

Mike took me on a drive Saturday to get some shots of my favorite little town.

I love Oysterville, WA. It is a quaint little town North of Long Beach.

It is filled with beautiful historical homes that I would love to have!!!


The sun was out and people where to doing all the things they love to do.

That window was filled with the most incredible display of vintage bottles.

Love it!!!

My sister Deb and her husband Ken came out to join us for the firework festivities.

This is the first time I have seen her since her surgery.

She looked great!!!!

Here is Mike, notice I cut out the beer in hand!!!!

Benelli got a real workout this weekend.

Running after all the birds and playing with Debs dog Ranger.

Mike bought me this hanging basket from "The Basket Case".

They carry the best selection on the peninsula.

I have a busy week planned.

Work, make soap & lotion and get ready for Expo!!!

Hope you can make it out to see Christa and I at the

Portland Expo Antique & Collectible show.

1400 vendors will fill the inside and out.

You will find us at space #117 outside.

Have a fantastic week

Julie
