| Always got to buy the things for my booth that might attract cowboys. I was in the garage pricing and doing my inventory, so you might notice my son's band equipment in the background. Update on the "good hoarding" house. I'm still in the works of doing a total buyout. Hopefully I can get my hands in there soon! |
 |
| Buying weird things...that's what I've been doing. |
 |
| Since I've been home, my town had their annual event "Antiques On The Square". I don't know what possessed me to buy some of these things. |
 |
| My inventory has been getting low so I guess it was a panic buying spree. |
 |
| I do like the PORKY PIG planter. |
 |
| And western stuff always seem to do well in our area since we are in the old west. Funny but the vintage "Paint by Numbers" are sort of hot. I remember as a little girl, for Christmas, we always received one to paint. I can vividly remember the oil paint smell. |
 |
| Oh and I couldn't pass up this 1962 Barbie case. |
 |
| My babies missed me so much! They acted as if no one fed them while I was gone. Here I'm trying a sweet pea plant as a new treat. We had lots of good loving time together and I'm so happy to be home. |
 |
| All of you English girls with your fabulous gardens, rain and green surroundings.....here is a sample of our landscape. This flowering cactus appeared on it's own. I'm really jealous of the other bloggers with their green lands and flowers. It's too dry here where I live. But I must accept my fate as I have made a life and family in Arizona. |
 |
| I think this watercolor is very pretty..... |
 |
| and the most adorable vintage children's souvenir umbrella from Florida. |
 |
| Antique DELFTS ginger jar Enamelware bail handled pot |
 |
| Vintage luggage rack.....example of my good find, I paid $8 and they are selling for approximately $59.00 on ebay. Woo Hoo Fun! Other great finds: Waterford duck (only paid $1.00), Murano ashtray $1.00, vintage boot jack $3.00 (found one on ebay for $89.00!!! Is it a crime folks to find these great deals? It's all in the hit and miss. Going to billions of sales. Learning from mistakes. Not knowing a good thing when you see it. Not picking something up before someone else, don't hesitate. Now for the second fun part....getting to display the items in my booth.  |
 |
| Happy Halloween |
 |
| A touch of vintage..... |
 |
| I finished LIFE AFTER DEATH last night & for me this is very Halloween appropriate, because I can't think of anything scarier than being in prison. It broke my heart thinking of an 18 year old being sent to death row for a crime he did not commit. Damien was in prison for 18 years enduring beatings, solitude and unjust inhumane treatment. It's a wonder he survived! I don't think I would have been as strong. Thank you Damien for sharing your story. |
 |
| Which leads to my "boyfriend" (ha ha I wish), Eddie who recommended the book. He was a big supporter in releasing Damien. I'll be seeing him in concert this Sunday night!!!! I can't wait. On the bucket list to see Eddie. |
