I have always thought of Spring as my favorite season only because I would get excited about planting my garden and getting all of the flower beds ready... Old man Winter was finally gone and the weather would begin to get warmer.... Well, now that I have downsized (my house, not my life)I don't have that greenhouse and that garden anymore, or all those flower beds to take care of... In fact, the house I have now has LARGE trees that shade every inch of yard.. Great for mowing ( or lack of) but not for flowers and veggies... So I will just frequent the Farmers market six blocks away and spend my time doing other things... Like junking! Now is the time for changing around the clothes in your closet, making homemade soup and chili and Football! Oh yes, I do enjoy football.... I also enjoy seeing all the new faces coming into the store... Yesterday a woman from Fayetteville had come up to check out all the new stores. There are 19 new ones in the Downtown Rogers area this year and still a few empty spots. Soon the train excursions will start, and people will be able to ride between Rogers and Fayetteville and possibly to bentonville... That will be cool! Also November 11,2011 Crystal Bridges Museum will open in Bentonville. That is destined to be a spectacular place.
So, pull out your sweater and long sleeves, go check out a National Park or a museum and just enjoy what Northwest Arkansas has to offer in the Fall!

Crazy Days of Summer
Ok... I am horrible at keeping up with writing during the summer!!! I admit it! sigh.... So now school has started and Roxy is conquering the 4th grade, Frisco Festival was a great success (and profitable...YAY!) and we are down to one last Twilight Walk in "the District" coming September 16th from 5-9pm. Things should slow down, Right? I doubt it....
The Rogers area Flea markets and Antiques shops have bonded together to form a new group called Return2Rogers (check out on Facebook). It is a collective of small businesses to promote our very existence and let our wonderful public know that shopping small is a Great thing!!! Soon to be released is a map featuring the locations and description of what each biz specializes in. We (as a group) will then have specials, open extended hours and events in conjunction with each other so that the public can plan a whole trip of shopping in this area... Cool Huh?
Two upcoming events are of course the Annual War Eagle Craft Fair, October 13 - 16 at the nearby War Eagle Mill Farm and surrounding towns and then in November on the Saturday after Thanksgiving will be Second-Hand Saturday (or Small Business Saturday, as nationally publicized). Both events will feature extended hours and lots of cool stuff! If you are in the area, please stop in and pick up a map so you can experience all we have to offer!!
