As a reseller, I’m starting to get antsy. It’s now February 1st and I’m jonesing for some yard sales. Even the estate sale game has been a little slim. I’ve resorted to trolling Facebook Marketplace and even Craigslist for some furniture flips and smalls. Admittedly, I have plenty of furniture to work on, and […]
Lye Brook Falls – Manchester, VT
On a recent April day we took a day hike to Lye Brook Falls in Manchester, VT. It was a gorgeous, sunny day in the mid sixties, with very few bugs and no leaves on the trees yet. Hiking this way gave me a new perspective; I was able […]
Recently I’ve come to the realization that I’m a recipe hoarder. One day I was looking at my Recipes board on Pinterest and saw that I have collected close to 800 pins. How many of these have I actually made? Nowhere near 800, that’s for sure. I also have a cabinet full of cook books, and […]
We’ve got a really interesting estate sale coming up on Sunday, October 18th at Tweed’s Pub on Grove St. in Worcester, MA. The owner is retiring after 36 years in business serving great food and providing excellent service. Lots and lots of items that hung on the walls and decorated the restaurant over the years will […]
My family and I visited Niagara Falls for the first time this summer. It was amazing! So beautiful! It was about a seven hour drive pulling a pop up camper, and making several pit stops. Long drive, but well worth it.
We booked a camp site at Four Mile Creek State Park in Youngstown, NY, which […]
This spring, I was asked to participate in the Regional Environmental Council’s Farmers Market. It takes place in Worcester, MA at Beaver Brook Park on Chandler St. across from Foley Stadium on Mondays and Fridays, although I’m there on Fridays only. When I was asked I was surprised, honored and a little scared. I’d […]
I’ve been listing things like crazy on eBay this week. Often times after an estate sale is over, there can be a lot of good stuff left. Rather than seeing the owners trash the leftovers, we’ve been offering to list some things on Craigslist and eBay. It gives the owners another chance to clean […]
Things have been very busy around here. I’ve been helping out my mother with running estate sales. We have two this month a week apart. We are still learning, so at this point, it’s an incredible amount of work. It’s fun, though, to organize the items in an estate sale to their best advantage. […]
Geez, I haven’t put up a post in a while. I think it’s because I’m addicted to reading blogs. I love them. I love to read about what real people are doing to their homes, what they’re cooking, and what they’re creating. It’s a great way to get some inspiration and ideas to try […]
I finally made a pillowcase. Actually, I made two, but the first one got really messed up somehow. Seems to happen to me a lot. Anyway, I’m very happy with how it came out. I followed these directions from Amy Butler. They were very simple, and a great project for a beginner or maybe as […]
