I am a wife of 20 yrs wth 2 kids & a grand daughter too:) I stay home & search the internet, read, research items for resale, etc. Most of all...I enjoy Yard Sales, Flea Markets, Thrift Stores, Junkn, Auctions, Shopping, Decorating & Blogging. My Passion is Vintage-Collectibles-Antique.

I have different venues I sell at with vintage, collectibles, and useful things. Soon, I am hoping to be doing something more of what I enjoy, and adding this along with some of the other treasures I sell. I would like to work more on refurbishing, bringing the old to life again, repurposing, etc. The creative side of me. It will take a while, and I hope I can do what I have been planning, making notes of, etc.

My Second Passion is Crafting & Scrapbooking. I look at things differently from others as I generally see something with a piece & how it could be fixed, used, refurbished, painted, etc. I luv the Thrill of the hunt & I also Luv After hours Junkn too!:)

Re: Christmas with Georgia

LUV it! You have reminded me of a time when I did my display windows for my store, the fun I had, and how different I made them compared to other shops downtown.

1 Window was done with pink lights, boxes, and decorations, and had a white tree.

Window across from it was done with blue. Had the white tree, blue lights, blue cloths, etc.

The 3rd window..facing street directly was done with the traditional red & green.

All 3 windows had the white trees in them with lights, I had my wooden candle holders from home with Candles showing on them, and some of the holders had some flicker candles on them for the night viewing before the timer shut the display windows down for the night. Ohhh...was so much fun & I had so many compliments...wasn't the usual traditional, but just a lil different.

Now...have to find them pictures...which disc/folder are they stored in? LOL!

Thank you for sharing, and reminding me the fun, joy, and thrill of the christmas season! Job well done!!

Re: Fun Wood Pedestals

LUV what you did with them. And, my husband wonders why I always hang onto things? LOL! We have 1 child left at home that graduates in May. After that I intend to have more 'ME' time to do things with refurbishing, painting, and etc. Until then things will pile, but I am working on being a lil more selective as I go along here.

Anyway....great job & inspiring! Thank You for sharing!

Re: What to do with a pew?

WOW! What a find! I have not seen 1 with such details as this 1 has on the sides. I would want to preserve that part definitely. I have seen some made smaller by taking the ends off & resizing the bench from each end & then replacing the ends again. I have seen them painted, and also stripped & restained too. They are gorgeous once completed to how you want it with a cushion added to the seat & a blanket/afghan thrown over the back, etc. I understand small homes. But, where there is a will there is also a way too:) Keep us updated with this gorgeous piece! I am sooo sorry I do not have pics to show you of different things I have seen. Kim
