Vintage Junk in My Trunk

Velvet Millinery, Hanging Crystals, and Baby Ben Clocks

How are you doing with all of this social media stuff? I think I have a decent handle on it, although sometimes I forget to blog about the things I post to my Facebook page. Facebook is easy for me because it's simple to put up a photo o...

Bouckville Adventures 2013 • The Beginning

We're back from Bouckville and have lots of photos and stories to share! Some of you on my facebook page may have already seen some of these, so bear with me. These first images are what we saw in our travels -- this booth had lots of ...

Big, Blue, Metal, and Weird

Day Number One, Bouckville, pouring rain. Mr. VJIMT: I bought something weird. Me: What is it? Mr. VJIMT: It's big. And blue. And metal. Me: Are you regretting it? Mr. VJIMT: No… but it's weird. Me: How weird? Weird how? ...
