Hello everyone!! It's been awhile...probably about 2 years actually. I'm still doing the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/thevintagewhitesmarket">Vintage Whites Market</a> -- going strong actually! Since we last met, the market has been named one of the top 25 flea markets in the United States for 2 years running by <b>Romantic Homes magazine</b>. We've been named one of the best vintage sales from coast to coast by <b>Flea Market Style Magazine</b>, and are contributing for Folk Magazine!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Considering we started out in a garage with five vendors, just to see how it would grow, I'm pretty excited!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've also added a market in SALT LAKE CITY in March 2013!! If you're reading this from SLC, we are interested in finding vendors, teachers, and sponsors for our event. Contact us at thevintagewhitesmarket@gmail.com for an application!</div>
<br />
Anyway, I say all that to tell you that I'm no longer going to be blogging at Twig. I'm blogging with my business partner at:<br />

I had NO idea they would go all out like they did. Just LOOK at how beautiful the winner was!!! And the pompadour wasn't even going to enter the contest -- but we convinced him and he won! Apparently he dresses like that every single day. I love it. </div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />

Our palette was white, grey, & silver. There was a ton of glitz, a ton of glam, and even disco balls. We had a blast! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OBmOV96qfQ4/TSITrzze9LI/AAAAAAAACLA/hdg99vkPPTc/s1600/decorated.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" n4="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OBmOV96qfQ4/TSITrzze9LI/AAAAAAAACLA/hdg99vkPPTc/s640/decorated.jpg" width="536" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The main event of the night was a fantastic DJ and band named Firefly. With all the dancing, we had to make sure most of our decor was up high and out of the way.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">For one of our main focal pieces, we created a multi dimensional bubble chandelier to accent the Champagne Room -- a favorite spot tucked away with comfy seating and romantic lighting.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">For the main room, we implemented a few simple elements to make the room pop without taking away from the dance floor. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">A curtain of crystals, silver, clear, and glittered ornaments hung from tulle and grey fabric to catch light from the disco balls.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">We also hand dyed fabric using the ombre technique to achieve a gradation of dark grey to white to hang as panels above the seating area.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">To finish the look, we added tinsel, silver trees, and to top it all off -- 2 disco balls that made everything sparkle.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

A special Christmas market with so many wonderful things! I only put in about 20 small items....I didn't stress over it. It was more fun to take pictures and sit back and enjoy the day. Here are some pictures!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Jerome, AZ is an old ghost town that was totally deserted and shut down for 44 years before it slowly began coming alive again in the late 90s. It's a really eclectic town with a European feel to it. I've never been to Europe, but I imagine that it would be somewhat the same haha. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We tried to have lunch in the Jerome Grand Hotel, which was an old mental hospital converted into a hotel and restaurant (aptly named The Asylum) that had so much character and creepiness. The moment you walked in, the peppermints were displayed in a porcelain bedpan, and the picture of the head surgeon was framed beside it. Funny thing is, it's the most elegant, expensive, and popular place in town! The elevators had couches and a grated gate that you pulled shut, it was an experience. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The wait was close to an hour, so we hiked back down the hill and had burgers at the Mile High Grill. I would absolutely love to spend an entire day there with endless camera cards and battery life. Do you have any interesting information on Jerome? Share it in the comments!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

This is partially due to terrible weather and closed roads, and partially due to my "Lucy, you've got some splainin' to do" tendencies. Yes, we made it. Yes, we stayed in Vegas on the strip, and yes, we came back with a puppy. Ahem. Cue Ricky anytime now.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia;">I have a major tendency to get myself into situations that I'm CONVINCED are great ideas....for instance, deciding we needed to adopt a cockatiel so it wouldn't go to the pound. Not only did we adopt it, we drove 8 hours with it screaming the entire. ride. home. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia;">With each scream I told myself "this was a good idea." </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia;">Meanwhile, Tanner is looking at me with that "I told you so" look...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia;">Needless to say, we had it for about a week before finding it a good home with a guy who trained cockatiels and had 10 of them in his house. Crazy man.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia;">ANYWAY.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia;">So yes, I was searching Craigslist one fine day before we left for the trip...I was looking for antiques to get along the way. I don't know *HOW* I ended up in the pet section. People classify things wrong all the time?? ......</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia;">I saw an ad for a small puppy. A terrier-poodle mix that looked EXACTLY like the dog that had stolen my heart 2 years ago, and prompted my constant search for one just like him. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia;">I was in love...just from the small, blurry picture. I knew we HAD to have her! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia;">Small problem #1: Tanner doesn't like poodles. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia;">Jana's "Lucy-it-up" solution: Tell him it's a terrier mix. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia;">Small problem #2: We have to pick it up in Vegas</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia;">Solution: We were planning on staying there anyway!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia;">Small problem #3: We have a 23+ hour car ride home</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia;">Solution: WHO CARES?!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia;">Eventually the poodle problem surfaced again when I was telling my mother-in-law about him. Tanner was awesome about it after giving me a hard time about lying hehe, and then we settled on getting her. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia;">Picking her up in Vegas was a little intimidating....Montana isn't exactly bright lights, big city. We had to meet the guy (Whom I'd never spoken to on the phone, just texts) who had her at a gas station (which was very seedy and near the strip), after dark (hmm, little creepy?) Tanner is always after me about my Craigslist findings and not knowing who I'm going to get them from...rightfully so, I'm probably way too trustworthy. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia;">If I ever blog about going to pick something up that I found on Craigslist and never blog again, please alert the authorities....</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia;">Anyway, the guy was really really nice, and Daisy (this was a painstaking process of naming her, we thought of names from Flagstaff to Vegas...) is perfect! She didn't make one peep the entire car ride home, she slept comfortably, and now rules the roost over my boxer, Gus. It always works out in the end, right Lucy?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

This is not the finished product, I am just not patient enough to wait to show you!! Tanner built the mantle with some trees we had laying around the property, and I think he did a great job! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Christmas is such a fun time of year, and usually I'm in no rush to see it come. This year is SO different. I'm already envisioning roasted chestnuts, warm wool socks, lots of good Christmas music from Sufjan, and all the other fun things that come with making it such a special time of year.</span> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I need your help. I have not worked out consistently since...oh.....high school sports. Yeah, that long ago. Working out and I usually don't get along very well. I tend to have bad things happen like knee injuries, intentionally NOT going because I have better things to do (like anything other than physical exercise), montlhy womanly things falling out onto the treadmill...no joke. That happened during a basketball game in high school too...no one could figure out what was laying on the floor, or who it belonged to (THANK GOODNESS). Poor janitor..... </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Anywho, I've decided to jump in. I started last night, and it was great to have Tanner there to motivate me. We may be going to different gyms and I know that once we start that, I'm going to need some music to keep going. I've started a playlist but would love ANY input from you guys. Normally, I love music like I have on my blog playlist, but my workout music should be VERY upbeat. I'll post what I have so far so you can get an idea. I can't WAIT to hear your suggestions!</span> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I didn't buy anything, but I had a great reason! I found a pair of shoes at Nordstrom that I just had to have.....but they were preeeetty expensive. Tanner and I struck a deal that if I didn't buy anything at the market, I could have the shoes. I agreed. They are magical. You can sort of see them in the picture below...but I'll have to take a new one to give them justice. They are magical. Oh, I already said that? Sorry.... But they are MAGICAL!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
