Sooner rather than later

As it turns out, Uncovered Ruby will be closing
for business the 25th of February.  Many vendors will be having
sales in their spaces starting this next Wed. the 15th.
Andy's Attic will have many things on sale for
20% off.  I am very sad about this but will find
a new home.

Please be safe and give someone your smile,

Annette

UP DATE

Just a little update on Uncovered Ruby.

( see previous post)

Figured you should know that the shop is

open until the end of March.  New things

are still coming in all the time and

you still have plenty of time to get

there and enjoy the magic!

Sad News and Happy News



Uncovered Ruby  is closing.  My little Andy's
Attic was started inside this shop because Sally and
Lisa gave me a chance.  This is very sad news for me and
many vendors and customers who love this shop. We are
hoping that someone will take it over and keep the effort
going forward.  Sally and Lisa took a chance with
this venture and it worked out.  Thank you both.


On a happier note:  My cat Munchy got new grass today!

So all is well in her little world!

Till next time,

Be safe and give someone your smile   :>)

1971 Crafting

Found this at a thrift store.
Dated Oct. 1971.
In Oct. 1971 I was not thinking about crafting.
I was thinking about packing my car for my
move from Alabama to Oregon.  Let's see
what I missed....

Instead of "risking my life", as some
people saw it, I could have made this
awful outfit out of a kit.

Or I could have been "marrying ancient crafts".

I remember these cute little bags
from the late 60's.  The magazine even
gave two pages of mushrooms for your use.

sorry about the glare

The colors look a little psychedelic to me.

Hmmmm, psychedelic mushrooms.  I
think not.

Instead of gazing over the rim of
the Grand Canyon, I could have been making
Christmas ornaments like these.  Now I just
look for them in thrift stores and at sales.

Rather than driving along and seeing beautiful
scenery, looking forward to my full independence,
having more fun than I could imagine,
I could have been cutting up bottles.

I wouldn't trade my trip for the fun this magazine
suggested, but I do enjoy looking through it
and remembering those good old days!! 

New Finds and a Question

Please forgive the messy garage....these are some
of my new finds.

A cute child's step stool plus chair (the "step
up" swings around to make a chair back)
and an unusual old tin.

Two sweet sayings.  I may keep the
Friendship one because I have a large
collection of friendship sayings.

Cool old JC Penny tool holder.  I know
it needs to be cleaned so it will
look much better.

Tulip vase that also needs to be cleaned. 

Wonderful old floral picture.....yummy colors.


And finally the question.......

To paint the stand or let it keep its
"I've been left outside" look?

And if you vote for paint, would it be
plain white or a bright color like
red, blue, turquoise, yellow, green??

I will be using it for display but
 it will also be for sale.

Till next time,  stay safe
and be healthy.

Nature is beautiful tonight

Andy's Attic Downsized

This is the "old" location inside
Uncovered Ruby. 

This is my new, smaller space,
in a different room.

What is amazing to me......

is that I didn't really take home that much
"stuff",

and I still have more room to fill.

So, excuse me while I go price some things.

Until next time,  be safe and happy,

Annette
