Whew! 

Does anybody else collect too much stuff??!!  Even for your booth, storage, garage, or store???

I know I do!  I've seen the term "Destashing" and I thought I knew what it meant, but when I used it and a fellow junker asked me what it mea...

Who else has an Etsy shop?  or sell on Ebay??

I have had accounts with both Etsy and Ebay for years but have not been consistent about posting items for sale. I often compare the pricing to see if it's a better deal to sell online versus selling in person or at my antique booths - or listing on your Facebook store or your website.

I shared this info on my #TipTuesday this week on Instagram and FB!  (I'd love for you to follow me there too!) 

Are you a fan of wallpaper?! 

It was huge in the 80s, but this isn't the same look.  It's bold colors and huge floral patterns that seem to be trending!  Who knew?!  But I love it!  Some have referred to it as "Granny Floral", but it's the Jessica McClintock of the new! 

I've searched pinterest to f...

Have you been keeping up with all the new home decor trends that are being predicted for 2019?  

If you buy and sell antique and vintage items, whether it's in a booth or online, it's always good to keep up with the trends.  You know your staples that will always sell, but this helps give you an idea of what else to look for when you're out picking.

The powers that be are saying that Minimalism is out and Maximalism is in for 2019....

They are great for wedding decorations, table decorations, or as farmhouse décor for your own home!

Here’s what you need:

Clear mason jars, any size and style

Lemon Buffet

This French Provençal buffet had sat in my garage for over a year before I finally made myself drag it out and paint it. I love how it turned out!!!  The hardest part of this project was moving it out of the garage, and then loading it in my truck.

A Makeover to “Chair-ish”

     This was a paint project I did in 2013.  This was a new experience then and fun project. It was my first attempt at using a stencil on fabric with chalk paint and I think it really turned out great!

Ok ladies, I knew it would happen and didn't know what to anticipate, but ugh!!!  The hot flashes have begun! 

     They started this past summer - seemingly suddenly.  I would wake up in the middle of the night and my shins would feel like they are on fire!  That's how it started.  I just knew I had bone cancer or something like that - or some weird mosquito disease...this was just too unusual, not "just" hot flashes!  I'm not ol...

Have you ever tried making Salt Dough Ornaments?  I had never made them until a few years ago.  They are so easy and fun!  And a very inexpensive craft project!!   Warning - these are not edible!!  Decoration only!  

I wondered what I could do to decorate them besides painting with acrylic pa...
