Well - can you teach an old dog new tricks? I am beginning to think not! I have diligently done what
Google has asked me to do to verify my email-but no luck yet. Not to despair-my husband is coming home from a business trip tonight and he is my wizard of all things computer so maybe then we can get it solved and out of the vortex of amiless emails. Sigh-I only know enough to be dangerous.

Good Morning-we are about to be great aunts today and our younger sister is about to be a grammy for the first time-how great is that to start the day. We can hardly wait for him to come out of hiding! I think antiques will get the back seat for Cameron James birthday.
Okay back to the blog-I am on the hunt to find the email that I am suppose to get to verify my google account-wish me luck or this effort will be for naught.

Okay,I spent hours setting up this blog and low and behold Donna can not access the site. I have a message that says I have an email from them-but low and behold I do not. Looks like we might be taking baby steps toward a third version of this blogspot effort-but let's hope not. Bah humbug-no one ever said I had a lot of patience!
Welcome to Annie, Fannie and Abigail Antique Studio! This is our second attempt at setting up a blog and here is hoping that a third attempt is not in our near future. So here goes with crossed fingers and toes that our second attempt succeeds!
Annie, Fannie and Abigail began life in sunny southern California. My twin sister Donna Cedergreen branched out from her interior design business and created Annie, Fannie & Abigail Antiques & Acquired Objects. She started in the big flea markets and graduated to a storefront in Manhattan beach. [Historical pictures to come later.] Her work has been featured in Country Living and Laura Ashwell's book on flea market treasures.
People always ask which one of us is Annie, Fannie or Abigail? [Our younger sister, Debby often helps us at shows-so there is three of us. ] We always say none of us carry those names. Donna was at a garden center in LA. and chickens were running around doing what chickens do. Donna asked what their names were -Annie, Fannie and Abigail-and thus in their honor - she named her endeavor into the antique and flea market world after them.
When I retired from the public sector seven years ago, I took a year off to breathe-but found myself fancy free and looking for a challenge at the end of my respite. About the same time Donna decided life was too busy and retired from antiques. Oh my, what to do with all of the stuff? In the meantime I am shopping at Willow Nest in Buxton and Linda Markov says,"Diana why don't you do our next flea market?"-and pandora's box was opened. I called Donna from the store and to make a long story short-she drove a truck up with the stuff, we did the flea market and Annie, Fannie and Abigail began life in Portland, Oregon.
My lucky day came over two years ago when my neice-Donna's daughter came to Portland to do her residency in Internal Medicine - and guess who followed their daughter to Oregon-Donna and Bob! So now we have Annie, Fannie and Abigail together after living apart for more than 30 years-life is joyful now that she is in town.
