Anyone who knows me knows that when visiting a flea market, I have disciplined laser focus. So, its no surprise that I fixated 125% on selling at this past weekends Lucketts Spring Market. I ...
my cement letters were a big hit! O.M.G., was Lucketts a crazy fun (and profitable) adventure! Primo junk at every twist and turn, and the best collection of vendors. They came from the south (Beth, ...
Just got back from selling at the Lucketts Spring Market and holy giant letters was it GREAT. But right now Im taking a tip from this photo and getting some REST. BTW, the map and these 4 letters wer...
Gearing up for this weekends Lucketts Spring Market (woo hoo)! Yesterday, BIL John and I did early set up. To streamline the load-in, organizers assigned each "field" (were in Field of Drea...
Friday before last, my sister spent the night in anticipation of shopping our local Civitan flea market early the following morning. In reality, she was stoked to help me sort and clean the hoard of ...
Gimme a P! Gimme an I! Gimme an L-L-O-W-S! Pillows! Check out these new pillows I designed, debuting at next weeks Lucketts Spring Fair. I had a vision in my head, and have been scooping up vintage c...
Longtime readers know that my favorite M.O. is to prematurely blurt "What if I buy them all?" One reason I do it is because its truly in the forefront of my brain and I have no filter. But ...
carnival ride I WISH Id bought.... Picture this: 3 separate whopping outdoor flea/antique markets on 3 consecutive days, all within 30 miles of each other. Plus, the 7 MILES of great junk stores and ...
Just got back from a 3-day buying trip to PA and still off-loading, but I thought youd all agree that this was quite the score. Its much more minty-green in real life, and much heavier than you think...
Well, its no secret where I fall in that conundrum. Im testing the waters with a new product—uncharacteristically actually DESIGNED by me. Dont worry; its not too fancy. Ive designed these iron-on pa...
Shopping the local Civitan flea market usually doesnt disappoint. However, sometimes it can be a total crapshoot. Two weekends ago was the "season opener," and it was super-special for two ...
The ever-fab Robelyn and me! Although I purportedly make my annual trek to Warrenton, TX in search of fabulous junk for my booth and etsy shop, my dirty little secret is that I really go to see my ho...
Or "The Haul, Part I" Texas junking never disappoints—except in the limitations of hauling things home. Ill admit it: every stinking year, I consider renting a storage unit and comi...
I havent had the nerve to blog about my recent trip to Warrenton—because I am in UNFATHOMABLE DENIAL. Ive blogged about my trips for years, but this was the best one yet! After 4 glorious day of junk...
When I say the estate sales around here have stunk lately, maybe now youll believe me. This past weekend, in addition to the typesetting bonanza sale, I hit 4 other sales. All strange. Its a ...
Apparently, Im the new chapter president of Typography Geeks Anonymous. One of the estate sales I hit yesterday was of a former newspaper owner. It was a family-run estate sale, which are always a to...
Im so lucky to live so close to PA. Its truly a junking paradise! I mean, look at this awesomeness! All is now in my booth, because I knew if I left it in my home it would never leave. Everything but...
Chris and Colleen manning the checkout at their new shop! Most of yall know that Colleen is my oldest and bestest junky blogbuddy—we met online over 4 years ago and have been yukking it up ever since...
In the never-ending effort to make my more livable, in January I had a shed built. A big one. Its 8 x 10 and its taken me 2 months to get used to its size! But, my shed isnt for gardening accoutremen...
Given how quickly the mini printers trays sold last fall, I hustled to find more and get them up on etsy ASAP. Three more are now in my etsy shop. Grab em while you can. I also scurried to ge...
Remember the next line? "...One of these things doesnt belong." Yes, believe it or not, I was once (many, many moons ago) entrusted to babysit tiny impressionable minds. In doing so, I put ...
With a busier-than-usual work schedule lately, I havent been junking as much as Id like. Coupled with an aggressive make-my-home-livable agenda (more in a later post), I feel slightly schizo when it ...
What is going on? In my last 2 visits to foof the booth, Ive overheard no less than 5 people reference American Pickers—one even proclaimed that he FELT like he was ON American Pickers. Um, no,...
Saturday, I woke up earlier than usual (and earlier than I felt comfortable) so felt at odds with what I should do with my day. I wasnt feeling the estate sales. I knew I had to get more merch if I w...
Madison & Mabel at Chartreuse I didnt quite realize it fully until yesterday, but sometimes all you need to get out of junk funk is to hang out with other junkers. My sister and I hit the road an...
unrelated photo; booth at Chartreuse today Guilty as charged. Although its been a mild winter, weather-wise, its had all the hallmarks of winter for a junker: no fleas, no good estate sales. Or maybe...
Lets blame it on that pesky big-grrrl job. Ive been mighty swamped at the paying job lately, and the junking has suffered. To be honest, however, its not like Im missing out on some killer estate or ...
When I purchased the set of 30 (26 + 4 additional vowels) jumbo alphabet flashcards (11" x 14"), I had greedy etsy visions dancing in my head. Oh, sure. I could sell them as a set easily, b...
Fine. If the weather wants to be all icy and sleety, Ill stay in my pjs. I have NO PROBLEM staying on the computer all day. Ill just list new items in my etsy shop. Which is a...
Because Ive worked for a newspaper for the last 28+ years, Im pretty entrenched. And boy, do I love me some vintage newspaper/journalism items. Fortunately, my super-amazing sister knows it, and indu...
