Yikes!
Where is the Time going? Its been 3 weeks since I last did a post.
I know there is a countdown to
Christmas going on out there somewhere.
I'm not really sure I want to Know how close it is!
I have my own little countdown going on .
Just 29 days until the Monticello Christmas show.
There is still so much to do.
Fortunately we have had incredible , blue sky weather
the past 3 days . I scrubbed , and waxed , and painted
my little heart out.
I swear the next thing
we buy is going to be something clean!
We went to Monticello last Saturday . I actually
took photos.....
We have a new dealer coming to the mall soon ,
Julie from Kindred Roses
She is so sweet and has great stuff!
Did I tell you that Laurie and Debbie of Worthy Goods
has a space there , too.
The mall is just getting too dang cute!!

We have met , shopped with and set up shows with
just some of The nicest people this past year.
I've been buying and selling junque for a long time.
A really long time
When my daughter was 2 years old we lived
4 blocks from an Antique store owned by the sweetest old couple.
I would put her in the stroller and walk there every week.
And put something on Layaway.
My tastes have changed over the years ,
I don't think I have a single thing that I purchased
back then.
One thing is the same..
I love Vintage.
It's just a bit Junkier vintage these days.

I started selling on Ebay in 1996 -
people bought anything and everything on Ebay then.
It was an amazing new world for selling.
I still sell on Ebay in the winter months
when we don't have shows lined up to do.
It can be a bit boring....
I'd rather do the shows
They are alot more fun!

One thing I do know about this business ,
( I really don't know alot ;0)
You Have to have the right venue to sell your goods.
Whether its a show or the antique mall , the owner
has to be as commited as you are.

I'm off to take photos of Fun things we got this past weekend.
Our gorgeous weather is over so today's an inside day .
I'm actually a little happy about the weather change
though since I get to be inside on the computer .
(Be sure and ask me in 5 months or so when its rained so much
that we think we need an Ark in Oregon
if I'm still Happy about that
weather change.)
LOL!

Hi Sue! Gorgeous silver urn with mini pumpkins!! We love your shabby style. Our weather has been beautiful too. We've been working outside, enjoying every minute of this season....getting ready for our cold weather sure to come soon.XO Glad & Cel/Junebug
3 weeks...it seems like it has been forever since I "talked" to you last. Did you know I sure miss you when you're working! BTW, everywhere I look there are photos of Monticello and it all looks beautiful.
I didn't know you could buy clean junk...all I find is filthy pieces!
Speaking of committed...we all ought to be committed for staying in this crazy business. It is fun though, right? We've been at it for 22 (yikes!) years although not as knee deep as we are now.
I don't want you to be washed away, but I'll be praying for a little more rain so you can come play with me...just a little bit!
Debbie
Sue, you are soo sweet. I enjoy you!!!
Cant wait till the Christmas show. I look forward to seeing your wonderful booth.
Julie, Kindred Roses :)
Hi Sue... you are so sweet! Your space at Monticello looks so good, I can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve for Christmas!
Laurie, Worthy Goods
Thank you so much for your kind words about Monticello. We do have the best dealers and you're at the top of the list!
Joyce @ Monticello

Glad to see you back and looking forward to doing the show at Monticello with you and Joe next month.

So great to run into a fellow junker (I found you through a rabbit trail of blog links!)
I enjoyed perusing your etsy too. I'm new to that venue and love it.
I'll be back!
You have such a sweet place, here!
Happy day!
