The Antique Emporium, Cocoa FL

Here is my space at
The Antique Emporium...

 It's lots of fun finding goodies for
my little space,
and I especially like
repairing, painting and mosaic-in
furniture.

The chicken wire on the wall
really helps with the smaller items.

The screen I worked on this summer...


This is an older picture...
the green potting bench sold right away.

Can you tell I really like
robins egg blue paint? LOL

Some of these goodies
came from my house,
some all the way from California.

My new venture started in
July of this year...
I needed a change and
my hubby was the one
who actually convinced me.
What a guy!

The only thing I dislike is
taking inventory of EVERYTHING...
ugh...my handwriting tends to
get really sloppy while
doing this..hehe

If you are ever in my area
 send me an email
and I can meet you at
The Antique Emporium
625 Florida Ave
Cocoa, FL
321-631-8377
Mon-Sat...10-5pm
Sundays...12-5pm.

I have been working like a mad woman
trying to find places to advertise the store...
taking pictures like crazy so
that you all can see what
goodies we have for you.

Thanks to all my blogging
friends who have given
me help and advise
in my new venture.

Have a great weekend,
Sylvia

Football sunset in Cocoa Beach


Tonight the Rockledge Raiders
played the Cocoa Beach Minuteman...
in Cocoa Beach.

New changes...
since there was not enough  Raider JV players,
the 9th graders have been combined
with the JV...
My 9th grader is now playing
against sophomore's and juniors!!


My youngest showing
Raider pride!

It was hard keeping your eyes on the
game when there was a beautiful
sunset.


You didn't dare blink in case
you missed it.

Beautiful!!

Absolutely beautiful!!!!

Hugs...

Life is too short

It's been 5 days since my
friend Julies funeral and
I can't seem to shake that
melancholy feeling.
Hearing her brother talk
about her...that...he still
listens to her messages on his phone
because he misses her a lot
or
hearing her hubby talk
about loosing his wife, his
partner and the positive
comments she used to give
her children...

My emotions have been
running amock...
missing my family in MN,
missing my dear friends back in Ca,
missing friends that are no longer in my life
but especially missing two
very important men.

My dad...

and Mi Abuelito...

I came across this picture
and it reminded me so much of
him...

Life is too short
for "laters",
 they will be surprised to hear from
me more often.....
they will be surprised to hear from me after so many years.

Hugs...
Sylvia

P.S....do not listen to Enrique Iglesias.."Pero Nunca te Olvidare"... while feeling this way...
lol...that tissue box will be empty in no time!

Mosaic china

Did I ever tell you that
I love craigslist?
They have moved up on
my list,
definitely worth checking because
this morning

I came across a post from a local artist
that is selling her mosaic/stain glass supplies
because she is moving.
My stash WAS very low from
previous projects so
I quickly made an appt.
with her.

 Oh My Gosh!!!
She has a lot of everything...
bins upon bins full
of broken china, stones, shells,
marbles, mirrors, 3D objects,
sea glass... it goes on and on...

I spent 2 hours in her very organized
work area,
sorting and getting the scoop
on where she found her supplies.
Sigh...I was in heaven...
drooled over her projects...I
can see why her
mosaic art sells for bucco bucks!!

I came home with 2 bins full of
broken china...
and I can't wait to see her again!!!

Guess what I'll be doing in the next months...

Did anyone watch the Dallas Cowboys game last night...
Ugh...Please someone tell Jerry Jones that we
need a NEW quarterback...Moron...I mean Romo
sucks, is anyone else seeing this???
Every year we go through the same thing
with him...he always manages to
loose the game...on
a good note...don't you
just love to see Miles Austin run, walk or bend over...
he must be a tight end....ooops nope he's a wide reciever...haha

I still love my Cowboys!!!

Linking up to Nifty Thrifty Tuesday...and

Sept. 11 school essay.

My 11 year old son had to write a
 school essay on what
his parents were doing during the
Sept. 11 terrorist attacks...

It was early morning for us in
California..my hubby was getting
ready for work and just
by chance
he turned on the television.

We saw the second plane hit the
twin towers..
we were shocked...
teary eyed for all those
that lost their lives.

We will never forget and
our stories will
be passed on from
generation to generation.
