Since I sold most of my inventory at Lucketts Antique Market, I’m back to Picking! Which is actually one of my favorite parts of this business. I am also a picker for Miss Mustard Seed (MMS), and she needs new goodies! I found this amazing little Frenchy chair for MMS. I almost kept it for myself but knew only she could make it really shine. I posted a picture of it on my Facebook page, Stylish Patina, and got so many positive comments I think I could have sold 20 of them! I was driving down the street, and there she was calling my name at a little shop. The pink caught my eye right away, and I knew I had to have her! Introducing “Pinky French”, she is a hottie :-)
I am sad b/c this weekend I won’t be able to do any picking b/c my brother is getting married, so I’m headed out of town, but I did pick up a set of 4 chairs today that are dying for a little color and have a couple end tables to fix up. I hit my 1st auction tonight! I was a chicken and let a couple things go that I should have bought, but it’s all a learning process, right?! I took my husband, “J,” BIG mistake after 10 minutes; he was bored (can you say ADD!). Anyhow, he left, and I stuck it out for a while longer and then left some anonymous bids, so we’ll see if I win anything. I bought one little side table for $10 (score!). Needless to say, “J” won’t be coming to the next auction with me; I’ll be flying solo.
I still have a couple of things left over from Lucketts; you can see them on Facebook or on Etsy.
