Warning.....Fluffing the Booth may be hazardous to your health!!!

Hi Bloggerettes.  I'm going to tell you a story and here goes.  Mind you I might take a little poetic license in the telling.

Today, Peggie and I were fluffing up our booths.  I was wrestling with a five tiered shelf that was giving me fits.  Well, Peggie joins in and we both cannot get this stupid shelf together.  After many tries and total frustration we finally got it together.

Now I don't know about you, especially you more mature bloggerettes, but getting down on the floor  and on my knees doesn't work well for me anymore.  It's not the getting down part that's hard, it's the gettin up!! LOL!


But as fate would have it the only way we could get this shelf together was to get down on the floor.  I'll set the stage by saying that  Peggie is no bigger than a pound of soap and me, well let's just say that there's a lot more of me!

Peggie jumps right up off the floor like it was nothing.  But when I go to get up I have to have something to hold onto, like a chair or cabinet or something.  But nothin doin.  Peggie's determined she's going to help me up.  LOL, what a site to behold !  She's tuggin and pullin and I'm sayin, "just let me crawl over here to this chair and brace myself and I can get up!"  Nothin doin for Pegs.  She is determined she's going to help me up.  By this time we are both laughing, huffing and puffing. I finally crawl over to the chair and pull myself up.  (Wears me out just talking about it!)

We are sure that we could star in a reality show called, "JUNKIN GIRLS IN THEIR SIXTIES!"

We would wear funky clothes!  Those young gals got nothin on us!


We did manage to get some fluffin done.  How do you like our Prairie Girl....
She needed boots and a hat, but when I came back to add them, the top had already sold.  So now she looks like this....

 Borrowed the suede vest from another vendor.....perfect Prairie perfection!!

Okay, that's it for my weekend antics.
Get out there this week and create, make, sew, paint, decorate, write, photograph, sew, crochet, knit and find something wonderful and share it with all of us!

~~hugs~~
Sissie

    Ha! love it! I fell in the garage about a month ago and my knee still hasn't healed up. Must have bruised it deep down. I really struggle to get up once I'm down because of this bum knee. Getting older is not much fun!!

    Haha, Sissie! Just be thankful that your fit of laughing did not bring on another issue! : ) Love the ruffles. We went to a Renaissance Fair today and I was loving all the outfits with ruffles.

And for me..it's when I get down I have one leg that cramps up the back of my thigh and I think I am going to die before I get back up!;>) Well, we may not be as cute as we used to be but we are sure a lot smarter!...that's my story and I'm sticking to it! xo Diana

    Oh yes. Getting up? A struggle. And my knees don't like the hard floor. I'm glad you made it through the day safely!

    Oh Sissie--my sister and I are right there with you. If there is not a chair, counter, a pole, something sturdy to pull ourselves up we would be stuck down on that floor for hours. Thanks for your post, it is good to know we are not the only ones who hate getting down on the floor :) Take and my your week be filled with nothing but standing up or at the very least sitting in a chair chore.
    Blessings,
    Jeanette

    I can just imagine you too, but I'm not laughing because I, tto, avoid getting down on the floor. It takes a lot of tricky maneuvers to get back up!!

    Love prairie girl and her cute outfit!!

    XO,

    That sounds too familiar lol. I avoid getting down on the floor at all cost, and when I do the grunting and groaning and snorting is not pretty. Ahh the joys of aging.

    LOL...I totally sympathize. When I get down on the floor I have to get up using my "ten point stance" and try and point my rear away from an audience!
    Love this story and the laughs.
    Deb
    P.S. Even though I'm a senior, that laundry would have charged me double to wash and vacuum me after I came back from the big show.

    Sissie your booth is looking amazing as always. I wanted to ask you about your price tags. Do you make them up yourself. I am after some new ones for my booth and loved yours. Sandy x

    Sissie,
    You are soooo funny! I'm sitting here on the couch giggling & my family is just looking at me thinking I'm nuts again. I can SO see y'all- you on her shoulders,her pushin' your booty up into the rafters! Here's the pilot episode of your show,
    'The Golden Girl's in Buyer, Haulin' & Bawlin'
    PS Can I direct that episode?

    Howdy! I know this is kinda off topic however , I'd figured I'd ask.
    Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa?
    My website addresses a lot of the same topics as yours and I
    think we could greatly benefit from each other. If you might be interested feel free to send me an e-mail.

    I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!
