life can be like a three ring circus,

but this isn't always bad

it just depends on how many acts there are.

Doubt....

do you ever doubt what you do?

or

why you are doing something?

i don't know if it's for the lack of sun today,

or the fact i feel a little under the weather

or 

i just didn't get my mojo back after a long run

but today

i am doubting why i do or want to do 

Bee & Mason.

i mean deep down inside i know this is what i

truly want to do everyday, all day

but the reality is 

i have a full time job that expects me to

live and breath it everyday, all day.

and in order to go anywhere within the company

i better step up to the plate and drink the koolaid.

this troubles me.

shit this posting with probably cause troubles for me

but i really struggle with 

what my heart and soul wants to do

and what i need to do to keep paying the bills.

i'm being pretty damn transparent here but what the hell.

maybe the universe will hear me and send me 

a clear message on what to do

and help me clear my heart of doubt.

thanks for listening.

ciao,

shout out.....

November 19th we will be participating in the 

Plucky Maidens Holiday event!

source

They are showcasing some of their vendors

on their blog prior to the show

and the lovely maidens

were so generous to showcase

Bee & Mason

as their first vendor.

We are so excited to participate in one of their

shows and look forward to celebrating

the holidays with all of you 

at the 

McMenamins Grand Lodge and Childrens Cottage

in Forest Grove.

Funny to even think of the holidays when it is only 

the second day of Fall but you know

it is just round the corner.

If I don't start planning now it will be upon me 

before I can say Boo!

Ciao,

adventures....

i love a good adventure

and tonight was the beginning 

of a new adventure.

source

i can't tell you anything yet

but take my word,

it is going to be fun

and you are going to want to 

join me on this one!

PROMISE!

Vintage Gathering....

Well, we had to say farewell to 

A Vintage Gathehring

for the season

but wow, what a great season.

We  had so much fun this summer

participating in AVG.

We have met the most amazing people

not only our customers but the

other vendors we get the great honor 

of sharing these experiences with.

Unfortunately the  weather was not

as cooperative as we had hoped.

The NW Doppler radar was broken,

really?

So, who knew it was going to rain ALL day

Saturday?

Friday night was a lot more cooperative

and glad I took pictures when the sun was shining.

sorry....

it's been quite a few days and i feel like i owe you all an apology.

it's not that i don't want to blog it's that i just don't seem to have a lot 

of energy to do so.

if any of you follow my persona FB page you will know

i got stung on friday (and saturday, oh joy) and found out i am allergic to 

yellow jackets. 

the little thugs sting landed me in the emergency room.

let me tell you it's not the place i really wanted to spend a date 

with my husband but what are you going to do.

they gave me this fun medicine that well

they said it would most likely give me insomnia, hyper energy and make me mean.

well, it didn't really quite do that.

it's more like i can't keep my eyes open, 

i have absolutely no ambition to do anything

or any creative inclinations what so ever,

and well not a mean bone in my body.

it makes it real hard to do anything other then 

sleep or practice being a couch potato.

i did find some energy Saturday morning before my second 

bee sting to do a little work in my new space.

that's right Bee & Mason is moving into a new vintage shop

in Vancouver, WA.

It's a tea room and vintage shop called

Meadowlark.

i am really excited and can't wait to get it going.

here are a few peaks of the space.

another before

wall painted and burlap added.

not a lot to see yet but i will post as we get the work done.

it's good to be back only one more day of this crappy medicine

and i will be back to my old self. 

maybe even better.

:-)

ciao,
