Monday catch-up

It's a work at home Monday. Last week was a busy week - several vintage finds were brought home and we had a weekend trip to Champaign/Mattoon IL to see our son and bring him his dog that we have been keeping for the past few months. This was not how she usually looked - she is a busy puppy most of the time.

Here are a few items that I collected over the past week for the antique booth (and my home:) I think I'm going to keep the secretary at home for a while - it is a great work space for me! I've always wanted to have my own desk to keep my junk self organized. There are still lots of empty spots to fill up!!

Aged and patina'ed christmas ornaments................................

And just in case selling at an Antique mall doesn't work out --- a shoe shine box! Just a peek at what happened last week - hope your week is happy and stress free. Janice

New Beginning

After having my position eliminated after almost 20 years at the same school district I found myself with a lot of time on my hands.....what to do???? Rent a booth at Blue Star Antique Pavillion and try my hand at being self employed. This blog is to document the ups and downs and the inbetweens that come along this new road I'm traveling.

These pictures are taken on day ONE - there are spots that need filled but I think I'm off to a good start. My sister and I are sharing this booth for the time being....until we fill it up and run out of room. I wonder how long it will take before we each need our own space?
