It’s true what they say–one man’s trash, literally IS another man’s treasure! Here are some of my most favorite ever trash finds! Sorry for the crummy cell phone picture . . . But can you tell what that is? The abandoned house in my...
Today I want to share with you three different ways you can decorate a mantel for spring, using vintage items that can easily be found at thrift stores or flea markets. I love decorating with vintage treasures! For one, they are often less expensive than buying...
Fall is in the air my friends, which means it’s time to break out those fall decorations and spruce things up a bit! To be 100% honest with you, I am not a fan of redecorating my entire house for the fall season. I usually just focus on creating a few vignettes...
Have you felt any cool breezes in the air yet? I haven’t ? Fall here in Texas usually doesn’t show up until November! But in the retail world, you bring fall into your shop whether it’s cooled off or not. So last week, I spent a few hours totally...
This February marks 4 years since I started Lost & Found. The anniversary is easy to remember, because I moved into my booth space at Antique Company Mall just a few months before my third son was born (kinda nuts, I know!) So every year that he gets...
I have a fun little project to share with you all today! Remember all that old wood I dug out from this giant pile? Well, I’ve gotten to work sorting it all and deciding which pieces I want to keep, and what I can sell. Earlier this week I dug...
This past week I set up a small display at a local church holiday market. I wasn’t planning on it being a huge moneymaker, but rather a chance to interact with more customers about the benefits of working with Fusion Mineral Paint. Since I mainly sell Fusion...
When I say “shop small” to you, what comes to mind? Does “shop small” mean “shop expensive” to you? Do you think “shop small” as just a marketing slogan created by a not-so-small credit card company? Or does hassle and...
So it has been a few months (two to be exact) since I hosted our last 1st Friday Etsy Shop Feature Day. Some of you joining us may be new readers, so let me take just a minute and refresh everyone on what we do here on 1st Friday. If you’ve never shopped on...
Dallas-McKinney Vintage Market Days is 3 days away . . . and I’m not ready yet! Part of the problem is that I took “off” last weekend to take a short camping trip with the fam. Yes, I’m looking a little rough after a night of very poor sleep....
Happy Friday everyone! For our family is this a very Good Friday, as we celebrate Easter and the finished work of Jesus on the cross. I hope you all take some time today to think on the blessings of Easter. Another great thing about today is that it’s time for...
I’ve been so busy working through my pile of furniture projects and getting my Fusion Mineral Paint ordered that I haven’t had a chance to show you all some recent finds. Please forgive me! It’s been so much fun playing around in my redesigned...
Does everybody’s brain get full of DIY home renovations plans as soon as January hits, or is it just me? To be honest, home DIY projects and plans are really always milling about in my brain. Another stay-at-home mom friend of mine summed up the problem well...
Christmas is in full swing up at my mall. I helped work the register last Saturday (the day after Black Friday) and it was CRAZY! Everything Christmas was flying out the door. Side note–if you are a mall dealer and haven’t gotten your Christmas things up...
Well, once again I have been MIA for awhile . . . I really am sorry! The summer schedule so far has just undone me. I can’t seem to get my head above water and get into any sort of good routine. Ughh. While my littlest is napping though and my big two kiddos...
