I do like to purge and downsize and stay very conscious of the choices I make when thrifting but then other times I feel a if I am one sale away from appearing on a "Hoarders" episode!!! I just moved so I am giving myself permission to splurge a little. However, once I completely unpack and take inventory, the Etsy shop will be open!!! But..... great thermos!!!

My knees are shot is one reason, but I don't seem to be able to find anything worth bringing home. The last thing I brought home (several months ago) were two VanBriggle mugs, but I can't seem to find enough information about them in order to sell them. Pricing them is very difficult. I'll have to work on that again soon! I don't seem to be interested or there isn't anything interesting out there! I'm not sure which one. I really enjoy seeing what other people have found, but I don't seem to have a need to find stuff for myself right now. I don't want to buy just to buy. We may move at some point, and I don't want to have to pack just STUFF. Let's see how it goes when I want to decorate a new-to-me house! Maybe instead of not talking at all, maybe you can show us something new you have done with something you've had for awhile. You still have stories to tell, if you want to tell them. Maybe if you could tell us what you know about the items you collect, I'm sure we'd like to hear that. Or, maybe there's something personal to share. If you're busy, that's ok, too. Do what works for you! And have fun doing it! Best wishes!

I'm always stunned when you tell what you pay for something. For instance, that cute yellow pyrex dish ten cents right...well the last one I seen here was over $3.00 dollars and the dishwasher had taken most of the yellow off! Check in to opening an Etsy account, I think it could be a really great fit for you;~) Best ~ Mickie

Always so much fun to hunt. As always you have the cutest displays Pam.

Something, many things need to go before I bring anything else home. I think my husband thought I was sick last weekend when I said 'no thank you' to a flea market offer!

I can't stop the treasure hunting but I also don't want to show up on Hoarders so this is the perfect solution. Catch & Release junking! I betcha if you had an instagram or blog sale you could unload some of your goodies to make room for more!

But seriously if you ever get rid of your wonderful green typewriter, I want to be first in line to buy it. I have been wanting one like it ever since you posted the pics of it. Love love it. I love the stuff you did buy!

Love them. The swan is sweet. But I can not get over what a steal that Arts and Crafts style table was. Can't wait to see how you finish it.

I have been a little absent from reading posts but I reall was thinking of you.
I used to make sure to hit every sale. I just let them come and go right bow. Trying to sell and get in a smaller place just dampens the searching bug.
Maybe I will just hold our til the CL Fair.
Hope you son I doing okay.
Hugs
