Gone Junk’in
It’s a term used for going to flea markets, garage or estate sales, collecting things old and sometimes making them new, keeping some things in their old state, and digging for treasures.

My mom has an amazing knack for interior design and many times she’s found incredible pieces of furniture that have amazing value and beauty for a fraction of the price. I’ve been doing it for a long time and was junk’in when it wasn’t cool. Patina is one of my favorite hues!…

A Day of Beauty and Friendship * Vintage Marketplace Tour
Hello dear ones, I believe you’ve seen me share here about a very talented and sweet friend Rita Reade. Rita and Christy Repasy began the Vintage Marketplace several years ago and I’ve had the pleasure of seeing it grow. It used to be a part of a Barn Sale hop at Christy’s house and then it moved to Rainbow. These grounds turn into a bit of vintage heaven. Rita, Christy (who organize the event) and the vendors share their unique goods, gifts, talents, time and sweet personalities. They are a beautiful group. Rita is a dear and talented lady! She is sweet, thoughtful and vibrant and I’m grateful to know…
