Every time I have a sale on Etsy, my phone goes “cha-ching”. It’s a lovely sound. Sometimes when it “chings” at work, someone will ask, “What is that”? I’ve been known to answer, “I just sold Minnesota”. They laugh, since they know I have a part time business on Etsy selling wall decor made from vintage road maps. This is when I feel like a … Continue reading selling texas

This is a photo of … Continue reading porch rebuild
It is always so overwhelming when you get to The Springfield Extravaganza Flea Market because there are over 2000 vendors and it’s hard to know where to go first. It is truly sensory overload, and I have a hard time getting my mind to settle down and concentrate on what I came to look for. I always end up going home with things that were … Continue reading flea market finds
From a previous post, I shared that I was revamping my office and making it into the room where I take photos for my Etsy business. I sold the top of the hutch, but kept the bottom.
