Threw on my vintageponcho & headed out to have a lovely lunch with my friend at the Buttery Shelf Eatery.
Beautiful day to wear my vintage tweed poncho
This quaint Victorian home, dressed in colonial decor, sits at the corner of 10th & Main street in Lafayette, Indiana. The tables are all dressed with pewter plates, goblets & pitchers.
Loved the small intimate rooms, but it was so quiet, too quiet in fact.
They really could use some soft music playing in the background. And as cute as those pewter goblets are you'll be hard pressed to get more than two sips out of them. So make sure you've beefed up on your arm curls for lifting that pewter pitcher.
We both ordered the pot roast special and it was delicious, but they served it with instant mashed potatoes. Wait staff was very nice, but service was surprisingly slow. Especially since we ordered a special that was already prepared. No one checked back till we were 3/4th's of way through with the meal, even though they weren't that busy. When we got ready to pay our bill they didn't have any change, so they told us we could have it for free. Really? No Really! What else can you do when you open up business with out a bank? But we had enough ones to get them started. It's all for a good cause, because they always give a portion of their proceeds to some charity work in town. Plus their prices are awesome, only $12 for two people. You can't even eat at McDonald's for that price! Buttery Eatery is only open from 11 to 2 on Sat & 2 other days during the week.

Amazingly Alive in Vintage
I love looking at the Bonanza Showcases & Etsy Treasuries. Some of the themes are very creative, but expression is limited to what their format allows. If you want to Express a vision for your treasured pieces of vintage jewelry, vintage clothing, even your vintage collectibles, Polyvore is where you can make them come alive, by combining music, art & poetry to express your design. You can take your amazing treasures and Fab finds and build a whole world around them.
I've actually known about Polyvore for over two years, but just rediscovered it last night, and thought what an amazing way to highlight some of my vintage clothing, vintage accessories, even my vintage collectibles
could find a life on Polyvore!
The exposure for your cherished items is phenomenal.
One set I was viewing averaged 400 hits a month! Can you imagine what that could do for your sales? Once you add your product to your set, it enters the Polyvore pool of items that other Polyvore users can access to create their collages. So the more people who use your vintage clothing, vintage jewelry or collectible piece in their sets, the more exposure your item will receive.
Talk about viral marketing at it's finest.
Within the collage itself as well as in a separate side listing, each item is tagged with it's URL, price & description, that 6.5 million Polyvore viewers have the option of tagging to their Facebook, Tumblr or Twitter accounts.
Polyvore doesn't accept listing from Etsy or Flickr. But if you have an ArtFire, Addoway or Bonanza store; items are easy to upload, with their clip to Polyvore tool for your tool bar. It's a very easy site to use. And Lots of Fun. The only draw back is that it can be intimidating, as these Polyvore curators are Amazing set designers!
You can also start your own group on Polyvore and run design contests. Those are very popular. You have to have 35 people following you in order to start a group. I would love to connect and help promote your items in my sets. Just use the drop down arrow on the "search products" click member and search for - (take a guess) - JunkYardGypsy!
Well, that woman I'm in love with, Lord, she's Memphis bound
Well, leavin' here, I'm just a raggedy hobo.
Lord, I'm leaving here, I'm just a raggedy hobo.
Well, that woman I'm in love with, Lord, she's got to go
Well, goodbye pretty mama, get yourself a money man
Goodbye, pretty mama, Lord, get yourself a money man
You take that midnight train to Memphis
Lord, leave me if you can
Oh, take that midnight train to Memphis
Lord, leave me if you can
Oh, take that train, baby

How am I not myself? Do people ever change?
Perhaps it is you who are not the same?
You breathe in love like a cigarette,
And put it out as you light up the next
Love- you say it calms your nerves
Love- stills your hand as it burns
You say its cool and keeps you thin
This one's done- light one up again
Burning baby, you're making your way
Through lines of lovers, you're up to a pack a day
So long baby, I wish I could stay
So long romance
How am I not myself?
Can people remain the same?
Relapsing into what you call insane
Inhaling love like a cigarette
And hoping a lucky strike's up next
Love- you say it calms your nerves
Love- stills your hand as it burns
You say its cool and keeps you thin
This one's done- light one up again
Burning baby, you're making your way
Through lines of lovers, you're up to a pack a day
So long baby, I wish I could stay
So long romance
Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy, won't you look down over me?
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a girl can be
Then I'm walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Saw the ghost of Elvis on Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
I watched him walk right through
Now security, they did not see him They just hovered 'round his tomb There's a pretty little thing waiting for the King Down in the Jungle Room
When I was walking in Memphis I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale Walking in Memphis But do I really feel the way I feel?
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
(Walk)
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
But do I really feel the way I feel?
They got catfish on the table They got gospel in the air Reverend Green be glad to see you When you haven't got a prayer Boy, you've got a prayer in Memphis Now Gabriel plays piano Every Friday at the Hollywood And they brought me down to see him They asked me if I would
Do a little number? And I sang with all my might He said, "Tell me, are you a Christian, child?" And I said, "Man, I am tonight"

Are you starting to feel that Midnight March Madness?
I am! Dreaming of my summer VaCa to Surf City, NC. Last son's wedding, class reunion, and of course getting out to those sales to do some Junking!
