Putting The Marketplace on "Hold"

Hi Everyone, if you've read my posts last week, you'll know that this is the last "Marketplace"... at least for awhile. I've had some cardiovascular problems that have been ongoing for a while and now it looks as if I will be needing to take the summer off to have open heart surgery. I'm not closing down my blog, but I will be blogging when I can, and letting you all know what is happening. We are in the last few weeks of having our house ready to put on the market, and then I'll be having out of town doctor appointments... so our lives are definitely in "transition". If you'd like to know the details then click here.
I want to thank each of you that participate each week in coming by to share your wonderful goods, and also equally important, those of you who come to browse and shop. I hope this party has brought you many new visitors, and sales. My concept in starting this linky party, was a way to bring more attention to the talented shop owners who often get lost in a sea of Etsy sellers.

Thanks to all you faithful linkers, I've really enjoyed seeing all your wonderful items and browsing your shops!! Here are just a few things I picked from last week to share:


Mademoiselle Tresors





Vintage 541




Distressed Donna


thanks so much, gals!

Debbi from Marionberry Cottage gave me the link to The Friday Flea which is the same kind of link party, so be sure to watch for it later this week, looks like fun!




Hope you have a wonderful summer!

Be Inspired #189 Putting things on "Hold"

Hello Friends...
Welcome to the last Be Inspired 
for a little while.
If you read my last post then you'll understand. I won't go through everything again on this post, but I have had some major heart problems since last summer, and they've become much worse over the last 6 months. I'll be seeing new cardiologists in St. Louis coming up soon, and hopefully they can repair some damage that has been done. I'm putting "Be Inspired" and "The Marketplace" on hold for awhile. I'm taking the summer off to probably have surgery and hopefully, we'll know something about our permanent home by Fall. I'm planning on still doing some posts, and then keeping you all updated on what's happening. So, things will change a little over here, but I want to stay connected with you all!
I have so enjoyed hosting Vintage Inspiration that became Be Inspired. You all are the greatest bunch of inspiration anyone could ask for, and I'll miss it. But I'm not saying "goodbye", only that I need to refocus on my health and prepare for some big life changes. Yesterday's post was a testimony of my thoughts, feelings, and faith, and I'd love to share it with you and let you to know what's going on.

So, now let's take a look at just a few links from last week. 
I'm going to really miss the fun!

from Kristi at Making it in the Mountains

thanks so much gals for sharing your homes and lives,
 and all your inspiration!
Let's do this one more time!

xoxo,
