A hunting we will go...

Repurposed Broach with Vintage Center Bling

Saturday, I was able to get out and ramble around for a couple of hours to "seek and find". Jewelry was the hot topic as I found some unusual pieces; gearing up for the holidays and the "busy-ness" of the approaching season. Even though it's still a little warm in southwest Georgia, we know cooler weather is approaching and that means "the season of giving" is on it's way..Blessings Today!

Too many irons in the fire?

This seems to be a common feeling these days..Every where I turn, there's a new opportunity waiting to pounce. Am I attracting this or is someone trying to tell me something? And whose fault is it really? I know...I know...I know. Now that my husband and I are empty nesters,  it seems that my time is filling to the brim and then some. I had an unexpected meeting, somewhat,this morning with a group of  young entrepreneurs from Bainbridge, GA. They were doing a presentation on a NEW product and so I sat and listened while my A.D.D. mind started racing as I got so enthused, knowing good and well that I had as much on my plate, like a "hungry man's at the dinner table." All I could imagine was how I was

going to approach my husband with this new and exciting product; who by the way already thinks I'm a lot A.D.D. and insane for the most part with my creative notions. Well after the meeting,I began to wait on customers in The Bus Station. I began looking around to see all the ideas that WERE and still ARE exciting to me...

Gratitude! Gratitude! Gratitude

My Faith sustains me (most of the time).If it doesn't, it's my own fault.

Junkin' Road Trip USA 2010

A first for me as I take off tomorrow to the Longest Yard Sale..This should be a trip to remember...I'm tagging along with two of my fellow junkers as we travel the roads  up through Kentucky and Ohio to work our way down. This promises to be a non-stop adventure filled with heavy duty negotiations, hagglings and million dollar deals. Not to mention junk, antiques, jewels, vintage and everything else that makes my heart want to burst with JOY!!!I'll be posting along the week if I can get my paws on a computer otherwise I'll check with you on Friday when I return. I'm showing some new photos of the "extreme makeover" that took place last week at the The Bus Station - Gallery of Sorts http://www.thebusstationnews.blogspot.com/ . Don't forget Fall is on the way and so is a lot of surprises at our little treasure in Colquitt, GA

Dog Days of Summer... Junkin' at it's Finest!

Roger taking a breather after a hard day's work.

Well it was well worth the day of our junkin' trip to L.A. (lower alabama) I picked up a few treasures that will begin  the recycling ring this week. I will take a trip over to Livi's Marketplace http://www.liviandcompany.wordpress.com/ and dispense of some of the things and also to The Bus Station in Colquitt, GA where we are getting serious with a new store "set" for the upcoming Fall and Christmas season. Lot's of new merchandise coming in over there with new artwork and recycled goods from me.

Cherub wall hanging that will get whitewashed and then a wood box frame that I will turn into a shadow box with some sort of artwork inside. Should be interesting.

Set of shutters I'll use as a back drop at The Bus Station.

Vintage Bling and other Finds....

I have been jeweling for the past "ALL WEEK". I've found a new "source" for my vintage bling and I am so excited. I created a vintage rhinestone belt buckle this morning and really want to keep it but hubby says sell. I've listed on etsy.com and will have to send out a link to that. All of the new styles are one of a kinds and include all kinds of different beads, stones, charms, Turquoise (yum-yum) from Wyoming and Montana. Lots of pearls and just great "finds" from the antique dealer.  Have Fun!
