ON TV! REALLY????
Well THIS is worth mentioning. On my way to the airport last week I got a call HGTV wants to film a House Hunters segment at the shop! NO LIE!!! A customer currently filming their episode on the show told them one of their favorite pastimes was shopping for antiques por moi!

I flew in Sunday , shot over to the store and had a ball filming with Mike and Kristin and the crew of House Hunters.
WARDROBE DISCLAIMER!!!!
My buying trip was a dirty one with clothing packed that would stand a lot of sweat and dirt. WEEELLL I had nothing to wear and when my wonderful sister called from my closet saying "what do you want me to bring" I couldn't even think. When I am away on a buying trip I find it really hard to focus on anything else, obviously from the picture above, snort!!
I think I wore that shirt when I was pregnant!!


The sound guy getting friendly as I was getting "miked".

Getting briefed by the producer.

I was supposed to describe some things to them including the Swedish Mora clock.

I haven't been to a nail salon in too long and like every Italian gal my hands did a lot of the talking! Let's hope there aren't any closeups.

It was interesting seeing the behind the scenes of a "reality show".


Mike and Kristin are newly engaged and are to be married next Fall. Aren't they adorable?


Of course it became a family affair. We had to have food ....so one sister kindly brought the sweets, the other brought the box of Joe. My son and I fooled around during one of the breaks...
My mother wouldn't have missed it, I was so happy she was there. My sisters were clutch as usual. Love them!

It really was a fun afternoon supposedly airing in 3 months.....I'll let you know when.
In addition to filming crews there are a lot of specials going on at the shop. Lets call it my House Hunters SALE!!
