New Day New Shop... choices choices....

I love to shop.... that is one of my passion, and I really don't think shopping describes what I do... I love to hunt for treasure... to find that thing that is so cool, or different, or old... that maybe so many people disregarded... but now it's mine!!!  Problem is my home is full of this stuff, because, I want to share my industrial vintage treasures...  I sell on Facebook, I started an Etsy store ( no sales yet), I sell on Ebay made two or three sales there.. craigslist...

What I appreciated most from my last post on my Etsy Shop opening, I think it was that one...  Is the input from you girls out there who SELL...and the other day Mr. Farmhouse comes home with a New Store:)  Yes I know there will be more of these stores, everyday someone is coming up with new store online.

Introducing Square Market....  https://squareup.com/market Yes another new store...  I know... I sound schizophrenic... maybe but have you ever kept trying things, and they just don't feel right?  And then something comes along, and the fit is perfect.  Well that is how I feel about SQUARE MARKET!!
So far so good, I love the easy navigating, how easy it is to post items, and how professional Square Market, makes your shop look... Easy to use and Easy on the eyes... Can't beat that combination...maybe it's my decorators, ADD...but if something doesn't catch my attention QUICK & EASY.... Well you get the picture...

What's a Diaper Bank...Read on to see..How you can Help.."Pamper my Lambs"

I heard of a food bank, like St. Mary's food bank, been involved in food drives, etc.  I am on a woman's council at my church and our director Mel Ross... had an awesome idea for our group to start a diaper bank... so exciting...we are always looking for ways to reach people practically, and really we don't have to reach very far these days because as we know everyone can use help.  So we are kicking off the start of our diaper bank called..."Pamper my Lambs" this Sunday Oct. 28,2012 @ Fountain of Life Christian Fellowship ...but at our Yellow Farmhouse Sale on Nov. 10th 20% of my profits will go to the diaper bank and if anyone who comes and would just  want to donate packs of diapers we will gladly take them.  Something very unique about our model is anyone who needs them gets them, no matter if they come to or are affiliated with our church, so if you know anyone in need let me know.

This is a great link to Huggies explaining what we are doing to start our diaper bank. We will be the first in the east valley in Arizona, there is one in Phoenix, and one in Tucson.

Decor with vintage finds and hand made touches

Last week I wrote about how come we love vintage finds and hand made touches... today i wanted to post some looks that are out there...comment let me know back from you what is your decor style..

Love all these great looks where they are using industrial typewriters in modern settings, makes everything look just right.  And feels like each room can tell there own story.

Everything has a story to tell...

Why do we and as we i mean all my fellow vintage loving, junk repurposing, someone else's trash is our treasure.. the older, rustier, the better... love love this stuff... My thoughts short and sweet today are one we like to create stuff, we must create, it is in us, it is part of us, it makes us feel ALIVE, to take something old and maybe ugly and not useful, and make it oh so shabby chic... and then what about that rusty old basket, the one my husband says reminds him of when he would visit his Great Grandma in Alabama and go to the grocery store, or an old farm crate, or that milk glass hobnob rooster candy dish that you hunted for forever... because it makes such good memories flood back of visiting your Grandmother... who filled it with lemon drops, and she called you "chicken little" every time you walked into her kitchen, that smelt amazing...

These "pieces of art" that we create, or repurpose, or that we are lucky enough to find again, they speak to us... they tell us stories, they connect us to something that makes us feel ALIVE.. and makes us SMILE.. and they connect us to those around us today...every time... another vintage typewriter, or globe, comes in... my children and I discuss it or my husband and I are drawn closer because we start repurposing and creating together.

This Farmhouse Industrial Shabby Chic is not just a decor style, it really has been a lifestyle.  I included below the litte about me section from my facebook business page.. PLEASE GO THERE AND LIKE ME... EXCITING AND AWESOME YELLOW FARM HOUSE SALE COMING UP IN NOV.  AND MUCH MUCH MORE.....

decor is art to me .. and I look at things and they speak to me or move me, from a tiny ole' botton to an old picture that might look ruined to someone else because it is wrinkled, but to me it has a story and it becomes my prize possession.. and the rustier, and the scratched up the better, it shows that the 150 year old newel post that I ordered from Pennsylvania has lived an amazing life... m

aybe it was touched by many children running down the stairs on christmas morning, or by a beautiful young woman who was coming down to meet her dad...to get in the horse and buggy to go to her wedding... stop and live and let Life, and things around you start to bring passion back to your life Let them tell their story to you... Or you can tell theirs...
