Heir to my treasures

So one of the women at my favorite places to go treasure hunting is now quite familiar with me and took a liking to my son. Now that we are having such an early heatwave she offered him a gift; he got to choose a little toy fan. He choose the one that needs batteries and has a water dispenser. When he asked if I had batteries in my purse (yes, I have been know to even carry back-up batteries in my magical carpet bag), I said I am not sure what type it needs. Before he handed the "toy" to me for me to look at, he responded "it takes L - I - T - E type batteries. Do you have those?" When I looked down at the fan to figure out what he was talking about, because even though he is only 3, he is really smart and is learning about AA v. AAA, he was already being branded by liquor companies!

seasons change, so does the wardrobe!

I sold the most marvelous disco dress and said goodbye to some cool book and furniture finds...So now that the weather is finally stabilizing it's time to post some great new things! I'm on a roll; clearing out the inventory and ready to go treasure hunting!

days gone by

WOW! Have I got stuff to post! This weekend will be a weekend of rebuilding my e-bay and ecrater, not to mention a few great finds to be added to etsy (a vintage Louis I am drooling over as well as a fab De Nicola 3 strand turquoise necklace)! Sorry, Blogspot, for neglecting you, but I have found the much underrated art of searching for rare books (and posting on Amazon). Yes, I still believe in the old school way of reading and have not gone to Kindle or IPad or any other book that cannot romance me with that musty smell of the textured paper between my fingers.

And (sadly) I must confess that I have sold the amazing Zenith! Although, I look at it more as rehoming, considering the decision was ONLY made for the sake of preserving it due to a teething new puppy! I do feel confident it has gone to a good home to be cherished by many and danced to in the way it was meant to be! Au revoir, my stereophonic find!

FINALLY!

I officially HATE outsourcing! What should have taken a five minute phone call took over a month of delay! Now back in business...

Happy Holidays to me!

This find I am keeping!

so pleasin' to see, come and gone, good-bye, good-bye....

Well, I reluctantly listed one of my favorite finds...but someone snatched it up and I am sure will love and cherish him as he should be! Good-bye, Jerry!

Totally rad, dude!
