It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....


Hi everyone!!

Are you getting ready for the upcoming holidays?  Are you planning your Thanksgiving dinner?  Man..oh man... there is nothing better than smelling a turkey cooking in the oven!  I'm so hungry for one...along with the stuffing, mashed potatoes.... and all of the traditional food that each of our family members bring!  Heather (my daughter) makes the yummiest corn pudding casserole!!  Dayle (my daughter-in-law) makes macaroni and cheese that is to die for!  So.... you see... it's just NOT Thanksgiving without family and the yummy food and good times together!

Click the image below for the corn pudding recipe!  You must make it... it's fabulous!

PLUS..we had a complete switch over from FALL to CHRISTMAS at our Rusted- A Vintage Market room!!!  Oh my... it brought tears to my eyes... I was working on the floor (helping customers...and at the register) while Vicky and Heather were making their magic come alive!  The room is sssssssssssoooooooooooooo small that it's hard for so many of us to be in there together.
So while I was getting their trees fluffed and pricing our wonderful merchandise...they were wwwwayyyyyy in the back of the store.  Later on when I could get back there... I walked in the room and had to fight back the tears (sniffle).  It was simply breathtaking.... brought back memories of our store (Olde Green Cupboard) but on a MUCH SMALLER scale.

I hope that all of you in the Jacksonville area make it a point to shop with Rusted this holiday season... it's such a great shop!  We only have 12-14 vendors and we are such a family.  WONDERFUL men and women that are vendors with us and we're getting to know all of them more and more.  They have the love and passion for "pickin'", displaying, and enjoying vintage and antique life!
