First and foremost….Happy Thankgiving! I hope that you are having a wonderfully relaxing day with friends and family! My kids are coming home after they work today and we are doing a honey baked ham and turkey dinner. So excited to see them!

I am doing Fit Buddha right now as you read this…Sandy is there with us as well! And then we are going out for breakfast with Marc and Shanti… We LOVE Fit Buddha 🙂

My mom did not make it down for Thanksgiving this year…she is coming for Christmas instead.

Happy Thanksgiving from Indy, me and Houston. We are SOOOOOO Grateful for our customers, consignors and the wonderful staff at Lynn’s!

Volume V Issue 000023

So, the big news for this ezine, is that our Black Friday and Small Business Saturday sale is happening tomorrow and Saturday. YAY!

Save 10% off storewide and 20% off Annie Sloan, IOD and Redesign with Prima….And save big by making an offer on anything that is OLD!

Hope to see you soon!

Time for an eBay score! My kids LOVE Big Bud Press and this jumpsuit belonged to my son. It got faded over time and instead of donating, I put it up on eBay because Big Bud Press items are super expensive.

Just took a best offer of $100! Yippppeeeee!

Check out the listing here.

This past week has been CRAZY! I had to go to Marina del Rey twice so I needed to get my car fixed. I took it in on Thursday and did not get it back until Saturday. Ughhhh.

I had to uber to Fit Buddha on Friday morning, but at least I made it to my workout!

Got the car back on Saturday morning and headed into LA to pick up Indy at Caffe Luxxe on Montana. Cha Cha joined me.

I dropped off Indy and Cha Cha at Caffe Luxxe in Brentwood and then I did a walking food tour of Venice that afternoon.

Super interesting. We had acai at some cow restaurant, then veggie sandwiches at the Vegan Pop up and then tacos.

Here is the vegan sandwich from the Vegan Pop Up. It was actually amazing!

Speaking of Cha Cha, the feedback from her crazy week last week was so funny…the “slot machine” episode and the “possum” brought in a lot of hysterical texts, emails and insta messages. LOL!

This first one is from my friends Rich & Nila in Chicago. They are long time eBay friends and we LOVE them!

The next message came from my friend Max who moved to Puerta Vallarta with his friend Joanne 8 years ago. I miss him!

And super interesting to hear how affordable it is for both human healthcare and vets.

I had to leave Marina del Rey Saturday afternoon to head back to Ventura…for a design install job on Sunday. But not before I got a cute picture of Indiana with Cha Cha and Grandpa.

I was also supposed to watch the USC/UCLA game with Marc that night, but it was raining, I was exhausted and I opted to stay home. The Good news….THE TROJANS WON! FIGHT ON!

Before I forget, we just got in the most amazing houseful of Mid Century Modern Furniture. Out of the blue, Ken called me and had to empty out his grandma’s house by Saturday night. I looked at the photos and was able to pick out some CHOICE pieces.

I called him and we spoke for half an hour and I told him what I could sell. Most of the furniture was Heywood Wakefield, with a lot of Selig thrown in. I was so excited to get it! But, as you may remember, I was out of town on Saturday.

I asked Susan if she could come in and handle it and God Bless Her, she came in on her day off.

Ken’s grandma was 102 year old, and I said “I am sorry for your loss” and he said “Oh, no, she is still very much alive we are just moving her to Phoenix.” SOOOOO Cool!

Here is one of the photos that he had sent me.

On Saturday, while I was “playing” Susan & Tina were taking in 25 pieces of Mid Century. Thank you Thank you!

Most of the MCM furniture is priced and you will see a lot of it in this newsletter. Sooooo exciting!

Sunday morning, I got up early to meet Susan, Adolio and Paul at the store to load up for a design install at Penny’s house in Santa Paula. It may have been one of my favorite installs yet!

Here we are with our obligatory loaded and ready to go photo. Such fun!

Here are some of the before and after photos of Penny’s living room. Before.

After. Don’t you LOVE that green velvet sofa and the MCM lamp? And the whole redo with our 20% design fee was only about $2.8k.

Another before.

And the after…..just so you know, Penny is LOVING it and only returned 2 items. A pillow and mirror. AWESOME job Susn!

Another before.

And an after. Penny was tired of that marble console, so this beautiful piece is now available at Lynn’s.

One last before. And just so you know and may have noticed, we do end up using a lot of the furniture, lamps and knick knacks that you may already own.

Here is the after.

Just for fun a throwback photo to our two front Christmas windows from last year. This year we have gone a bit more subtle. But I must admit, I LOVE how Decked out in red and green these windows from last year are.

After our design job, Susan and I headed to Hozey’s for a celebratory lunch. We didn’t even know how it was going to turn out with Penny, but we knew that we LOVED it!

On Monday, I worked in the morning and then did Fit Buddha. During class, Marc said “wanna get lunch” and I said “Yes, of course!” So after class, Marc, me and Shanti (his daughter) headed to Lure for a lovely afternoon.

OK, I probably shouldn’t have gone to lunch, but whatever…LOL I needed to leave Ventura at 2:30 to be back in Marina del Rey for another event. I arrived in the Marina at 4:30 and left for my dinner at 5:30.

I got back to the kid’s condo at about 9:30 pm and Indy took this cute photo of Cha Cha and me. Cha Cha missed me.

Earlier in the evening, when I arrived back at the condo, I took this cute photo of Cha Cha while I was chatting on the phone.

The next morning I took the girls out to breakfast at Maxine’s in Venice. Such a great place and amazing food. If you haven’t heard of Maxine’s, you must google them and read about the “Chain Saw Massacre of 2022”. Seriously, blew my mind!

I headed back to Ventura after Breakfast to make it to Fit Buddha at 12:15. Cut it close, but it was all good. Then I headed to the store to do my long overdue eBay shipping….OMG! Crazy.

In the spirit of that, here is another eBay score. I bought these License Plates a few years ago for pretty cheap and this one sold for $72.79 and is going to Australia. Gotta love eBay. Check out the listing here.

Wednesday was CRAZY!!! Got in two truck loads. Thank you Sandy for letting me borrow your truck! And then I had to price all of the MCM items. Thank you Whale for agreeing to work and bring Logan. And thank you Tracy and Tina for working like crazy!

Then I headed down to Tony’s for Thanksgiving Eve with friends. What a fun and crazy day!
