Golly! Today was a day for nick nacks! I bought so many I was convinced I was gonna make my fortune selling ‘em. Ha. Yeah. OK. But before we get to the do-dads….. It was a rainy day. Got up early-early. I mean I drug myself out of the bed hoping the rain would dampen [...]
It was time for the seasonal rearrange at the shop. I try to do a major rearrange with every season, but it doesn’t always happen. Normally, Erin has come up and helped, but this time I was on my own. She’s gone to back to work full time. I was really sick of seeing everything [...]
This is for my blog friends who don’t know already. (It’ll also come through on Facebook and I don’t know how to prevent that.) Lena passed away Thursday morning. We’ll miss her, but life’s so short, before you know it, it will be our turn. Even 30 years will seem a short time. Here’s the [...]
Our hearts are breaking. You all remember my friend Lena? My antiquing buddy. She’s been battling Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma for about 7 years now. Treatments would beat it back, but it was never completely gone until this past spring. After those treatments, there wasn’t a sign of it anywhere. We rejoiced. Over the summer she started [...]
…for me to get really excited. I went to The Dollar Tree the other day and since it’s in the same strip mall as Bath and Body Works and they usually have a pile of great boxes out back – even though most have the tops cut out of them – I thought I’d cruise [...]
Lucky me! I’ll not be making much money off the sales this weekend, but look what I found — for me! The throw. It’s a Betsy Johnson something. Wrap? Throw? I don’t know what it’s supposed to be, but it’s a throw over my chair now. It still has it’s $110 tag on it and [...]
Oh, my. It’s Wednesday already?? How did that happen? Where did Monday go? And Tuesday? What did I accomplish? Not much, it seems. I am working on the back area of the shop. This will be my work area when the mood strikes. I hope. But none of that has anything to do with birdcages. [...]
Do you have to pay sales tax at estate sales in your state? I’m talking about sales of a deceased person’s stuff, priced and run by a professional estate sale company. Not an auction. Not a yard sale where somebody just threw their stuff on the lawn. Here in Alabama I’ve only encountered that once. [...]
(Still no wedding pics.) Ah, I’ve been so focused on selling crap. It’s that need for money. Plus the need for an excuse to go out and buy more crap. But right now I’m in the mood to stay at home and enjoy decorating and cleaning the house. Did I say “cleaning”??? Hmmm… Maybe I [...]
What’s been going on in my life in the past, oh gosh! It’s been that long??? Well, a whole lot has been going on. I’ve been a busy little girl. I’ve worked and worked, buried a brother in law, had a 4th of July family get together at our house, shopped for clothes for the [...]
