MAKEUP FOR MATURE SKIN

Sometimes it's the little things in life and in decorating that can make the biggest impact. It's no secret that I love vintage treasures,but sometimes hunting is the best part. I love surrounding myself with pieces that I love,and pieces that are not perfect but show the imperfections. As  I started putting things away from the sale and started organizing my studio I felt the urge to purge. I kept asking the question why am I keeping this piece or that piece? And while I am cleaning my studio and changing things around I feel the need to do the same in my home. But I don't want to by anything new. And I don't want everything changed. Somethings will stay as the were,because I like just the way it is. But it's the little things the small changes,like a fresh bouquet of ... View Post

 Yes I held my sale twice in two weeks,but I am so glad I did because it was a hug success the second time,and I would like to talk about my first home sale and lessons learned. So what did I learn? Marketing is key! I thought having such a large Facebook fan base was key. And it is helpful but most of those likes are for my blog. So many of you live in other states and countries too! I asked a very sweet friend of mine for a little advice. She has held many sales at her own home with success. She told me it's marketing! So  I made flyers with the event name,date and time with a brief description of what I would be selling. I went to several local businesses that sold items similar merchandise, and also businesses that I had a relationship with. One thing about my business is ... View Post

Today is the last day of my Vintage sale, and as I was setting up and changing things around I started thinking about my hopes and dreams. I have always been a creative person,I love decorating and styling. Even as a child I always enjoyed re-decorating my room,which really meant moving my bed from one side to another,or sometimes on an angle. Let's see.... if someone asked me what would I would  like to do .... if I could what would it be? I would love to work as a stylist,or with a designer staging rooms or homes. And if that would involve shopping that would be a huge plus! I have to tell you I am getting giddy with excitement because after the sale I have a few projects up my sleeve,and I will be changing a few things around and tweaking. Because you never know who is ... View Post

Today I wanted to talk about my sale and what I learned. First I am sure you all want to know how successful my vintage market sale was,how much did I sell,and how many people attended and bought. Since this was my first sale,not including previous garage sales I had no idea what to expect. As you know I transformed my garage into a shop. I think it turned out incredible,looking just like a shop! I ordered some signs on line that I thought would work,but after ordering them I found out that my town would not let me put these up as they were, so they needed to be adjusted. I really wanted to make a special first impression when coming to the sale. I can't believe I forgot to take a photo,but I placed my pink bike by our tree,and in my bike basket I added fresh hydrangeas. I also ... View Post
