Music Monday-Loved One

Crank it up and start your Monday off right.  Trust me.  It's my new jam.

Everyone is talking about Miley and her performance last night at the VMA's.  Did any of you watch it? All I have to say is that it would suck ducks to go through your wild phase in front of millions of people.   I did tons of embarrassing things that thankfully will never be relived over and over.

In case you didn't see Robin Thicke, Pharrell and T.I. on the BET awards click here.  It was amazing and surely made just about every woman in the audience want to leave their significant other at least for minute.  Needless to say last nights performance with Miley and her foam finger was a bit of a let down...at least for me, obviously not for her (and no, I don't blame her).

Happy Monday loves!

Record Update

I finally dug into the records again.  There is so much to go through and it takes forever to list them, especially if I've never heard of them (like Dave Ray).  Wouldn't seem like it...but it does.  I've definitely got my work cut out for me.  It's kind of neverending.  But, much better then the normal grind.  Fo sho.  Plus it's been fun listening to these albums, hearing some old faves and finding some new ones (like Dave Ray).   You can check them out here.

Music Mondays-I apologize for what you are about to hear...

I meant to post this first thing this morning...but my day kind of got away from me.  So here is your 6:00 pick me up....assuming that is you are in the Central Time Zone.  Be back soon with a little record update!

To market we go!

I had a great time last weekend at the Strawberry Swing Indie Market.  I ran into some old artsy friends from years ago and unloaded a ton of vintage suitcases.   It's fun to see the same faces at these markets years later.  It's encouraging too.  Sometimes I question what I am doing as far as the vintage and handmade and wonder if it's all worth it.  After this past weekend I'm thinking just might be (at least mentally).  It's more fun than sitting behind a desk for sure, but whether or not it's lucrative is another story.  

Last night I was thinking about when Jeremy was born and how I only worked 4 days a week.  Those 4 days I busted my behind and worked as hard as I could to get the job done and stay on the bosses good side.  I've tried working for myself before but have never been very successful at it.  I don't know why I work harder for others but I think I do.  Not sure if this time in my life is any different than before but I'm going to give it a go anyways.  At least for the next few months.

Below is inside of the barn at the Alexander Majors House where last weeks event was.  It's even rumored to be haunted!  I planned on being inside since it was the end of July.  Even paid more it.  It ended up being a beautiful 75 degrees in Kansas City.  I couldn't believe it.  

Tomorrow I'm headed down the Gypsy Market Royale in the West Bottoms.  It's from 12-5.  If you are coming be sure to plan ahead.  The 12th Street bridge is closed so you will need to watch for detours!  Here are some pics from last time I did it...a year ago!  So much fun and the other vendors are the bees knees.   

It's Friday and I need to get busy going through albums and getting my goodies together.  Peace and love, Amy
