Welcome!

It's always so nice when

my fellow Chartreuse and Co., 

dealers and I, 

get a little love with 

mentions in the press,

and today we're thankful

for the shout-outs from 
two great websites,

Daily Candy - Washington, D.C.   

  and 

REFINERY29

So, if you've stopped by after 

spotting us on Daily Candy, thanks

for visiting, take some time to peruse

past posts to get an idea

of what The Kramer Angle style

is all about and then

make plans to visit 

Chartreuse and Co., this weekend

September 1st and 2nd,

or at one of our monthly shows,

the third Friday - Sunday of every

month!

Here's a peek at just some

of what you'll find in my shop,

The Kramer Angle,

at Chartreuse and Co.:

and be sure to visit 
my other site,

The Barn Show

in Gambrills, Maryland

for our Fall 2012 Barn Show
September 28th - 30th!

I'm Back!

Hello again - I'm alive!

And apparently there's been some doubt,
because people have called
(Thank you Carol and Carla!)
they've e-mailed
(just to see if I'd respond)
and my real life friends 
(like Tiffany!)

have asked 
if I was ever going to 

blog again because

it's been forever

since my last post!

And so I decided
today was the day!

My absence wasn't intentional,

I wasn't on a self-imposed

hiatus, studying abroad,

or captured by aliens 
- it just happened!

The truth is,

I've just been busy and
something had to give!

Here's a recap:

It started with my

local show

The Barn Show,
at the end of

March,

and rolled immediately

into a last minute

trip to Zion National Park

in Utah, The Grand Canyon,

and Las Vegas with my family,

four more monthly barn shows
at my other barn,
Chartreuse and Co.,

My son's 16h birthday

(I've been making both my boys
stand by that sign on their birthdays
every year since they were babies!)

 

 Which rolled right into his
confirmation

 Celebrated with a visit from my
Florida in-laws

immediately followed by a visit
from my mother and sister from Ohio

Weekly trips to the auction to find the goods

And then, I couldn't blog because 

I had to get my youngest son to lots of 

lacrosse practices and games

in between track practice

and meets for the oldest,

my "real" jobs,

housework, life, family 

and friends

and the next thing I knew,

it was summer! 

So, we took a spur of

the moment trip to 

Oahu, 

and ended up having our

best family vacation, ever.

Which is when I started thinking

we need to move to Hawaii,

until my youngest pointed out

antique hunting and barn shows

aren't exactly island-living

pursuits!

Oh well, maybe someday.., 

but right now, I'm

officially "back" and

it feels good!

How have YOU been?
