  4. You guys make it look so easy! But I know it isn't. That's part of your craft, you make beauty and style look effortless. Please God, let me make it to Canton just once! THAT'S ALL I ASK!!! :-)

  5. Hi Troy:
    The first thing I saw that I liked was that bunny! So, if you do shipping, could I get a pair of baby shoes? (dliljegren at brynwoodneedleworks dot com) Thanks for the photos. Now I feel REALLY bad that we live so far apart!

  9. Hello Troy and Rod! I'm one of those 'I read your blog and so excited to meet you' shoppers from Canton. Bought some of your stuff the first day I was there (cold and rainy) and came back the next day (beautiful!) and bought even more! Canton is something to see - amazing! Nothing like it in Nebraska! I knew you were on my favorites list but I see that I have been following you for awhile as well. So great to meet 'celebrity' bloggers! I'll show pics of my trip after I unpack all of my treasures so I hope you'll come and visit me! -- Connie
