Keep Going ❤️

09/20/2022

Please hang out with me on 9/27. We had a bit of a medical scare, and I'm not allowed on my leg, so our original plan to begin tomorrow (9/20) unfortunately has to push back a week.

Thank you for supporting me through the flea markets, sales, and now the Facebook live sales that will be starting!!!

Starting in mid June, you're going to want to check this out daily!!!! I'm going to be offering amazing pieces-- new, vintage, antique and super quirky blended perfectly to make you smile!!!
I will have 2 different counties items can be picked up from, both Rutherford, and Humphreys. In Rutherford meeting spots are Target Smyrna, Lavergne Police Dept, or Smyrna Police Department. Humphreys will be in Waverly.

Items will be listed with which county, if you wish to pick up in the other county, it's going to be about a week before it'll be picked up and shifted around!!!

I also will be doing shipping on select items, no glass items or furniture/oversized pieces will be included. Reach out if that's your option, I will always ship it to you from Lavergne, TN, and I'll be doing mailings on Thursdays.

There's so much to share with y'all, I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row, but I'm really happy to have y'all around to cheer me on.

A lot of people have asked where my name came from. My Dad used to love flea markets and sales, and I'm super glad that's an addiction I carry on from him. When we would walk around he would just take it all in, never showing interest of great magnitude, but he'd pick out a couple of items here and there and ask what they were offering him to take it home.

I still remember his blue eyes twinkling and his smile when he'd ask.

So, when we'd bring home some treasures, I'd try to put a towel down so any rust or dirt didn't get all over. He'd tell me not to worry about it, all the best stuff has a little old rust and stardust.
How true that is.

I'm forever a lover of the stories behind pieces, I sit in front of old houses and just listen, and I cherish silly trinkets most would look over.

Not everything is about a pricetag. Sometimes when I see someone with something and they look at the pricing on it, I can see the wistful look, the movie in their kind bringing them somewhere else. I'll always smile and say "those tags are just there for numbers, if you throw me an offer, I'll bet it comes home with you".

I've given away much more than I've sold, and you'd say it makes me a terrible business person. I assure you, the mountains of smiles and stories are worth far more than the dollar bills. I also came to realize from watching that Dad of mine run his businesses, people remember kindness, they respect fairness, and they will bring their friends and family when they feel you have made them FEEL!!!

My very good friend I am happy to announce is going to be my right hand, my administrator, and 100% will be as excited as you are over the pieces she's going to bring to the page. She has a true appreciation of antique pieces, and she is always learning more. Just wait til you see what the two of us find!!!

I just wanted to give y'all a little update. I really had just put this page in a safe space until I could bring it to life. You'll be seeing some updates, lots of items posts, and I really want to see things y'all love, too!!!

For the moment, I primarily will be selling, but I love seeing what's out there for sale, so if you have things you think might intrigue me, toss a message over! I just have to move some pieces out to bring new pieces in. I tell everyone, I love my walls in my home to be like art museum traveling exhibits, they are ever changing.

Sprinkle the happy y'all. Thank you so much for keeping me in your world!!!!
