My newest GIG...




Well, I might as well admit it, I have a shopping addiction... Well, not really, I guess, but I never need much coaxing to visit my local Goodwill Store, or the nearest, or even possibly farthest, Estate Sale or Garage Sale.!!

I find wonderful stuff--- Yes, some I can use myself, some I find for family members, (a shirt for my husband, that is especially super, good quality) for one of my children,(maybe a wonderful piece of exceptionally nice vintage well made furniture) or even stuff I can create art with(vintage paper items, or small relics that can go into my "box" creations). My latest finds have been for my sweet little grandbaby, who will "grow into" the toys that I just "can't pass up" and proceed to disinfect and thoroughly clean within an inch of their lives!!!!!

For YEARS I have thought about having my own little "store" in one of the antique malls, or Booths, as they call them... I've always thought that would be fun, and would make my hunting seem a bit more"Productive" I suppose. (At least I'd have a little more excuse to browse and look for treasures) To pick things that I think would sell, and maybe make a bit of profit really sounds like fun....... Anywho, I've always been so busy teaching school, that going to this extent was more than I could handle, but NOW, I'M RETIRED, soooooooooooooo I'm gonna give it a go.



Here are the first things that I have found and am getting ready to stock the booth with... My sister, who has done this before, is going "halfsies" with me, which will make it all the more fun and exciting.... Wish me luckkkkkkkk

I would have thought that your retail experience with "Buster's Limited" would have made you run away from all retail adventures! Just promise me that you will not carry any 100% polyester leisure suits in lovely pastel shades.
