I decided to start this site to share what I find on my slumming and treasure ventures.  People always ask how I find what I sell and why I do it.  I think it started with that first find.

15 years ago when my daughter was a toddler I had some neighborhood girlfriends who had a booth in a local antique mall.  I noticed that they were having fun, making a little money, and traveling to distant locations to find cool things to sell. After watching one of them buy an old broken down dresser at a local auction, watching her shine it up and put new fixtures on it and then selling it in her booth for a profit I was IN.

Talked in to going in to the local mall with them, I started hunting down garage sales and going to local flea markets. After finding pretty vintage linens that needed some love, antique English china for a song, and cool old chairs that I painted and added those linens to as cushions, I would put them in my booth and hope and pray that someone would love them as much as I did.

Thus the love affair with vintage, and the treasure hunt began.

Today I have three booths. One in the Lakewood 400 Market in Cumming, Georgia and one in each of The Green Bean Exchanges in both Alpharetta and Cumming. I also sell on line on Etsy.

This site will include some how to’s-I Am NOT a DIY blogger-but I will offer tips that work for me. I may even share some of our secrets to finding cool items in the Southeast in particular as I live northeast of Atlanta. I’m in love with mixing old and new and hope to bring you some great ideas!

Enjoy!
