I'm so glad I'm free of that and downsizing and purging helped a lot. I still enjoy browsing and buying but have to slap myself to not buy things that are just not "needed". your glass pieces are gorgeous and I love seeing your new "style" emerge.

Trouble is, it doesn't last for very long, LOL. Love the Blenko glass and it's neat connection to your recent trip--very cool. <br /><br />Of your vintage finds, the winter barn scene and copper colander both really spoke to me, oh, and the ironstone plate with bunny is just darling, too. Glad you get to keep your awesome side business with your sisters.

I wish you hadn't called that cookbook "vintage" though - that made me feel really old.

For me it's still china, and textiles, but not so much antique beaded and mesh purses as it once was. Glassware for us is usually only part of an estate we may purchase in bulk. I honestly surprised myself with that Blenko addition for our home! The good news is unique pieces of Blenko maintain their value over the years.....Rita C at Panoplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351306074493103021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939564730750190269.post-27040761119495076762019-11-06T13:32:02.515-05:002019-11-06T13:32:02.515-05:00Really enjoyed your entire post--your own treasure...Really enjoyed your entire post--your own treasures, the booth, and treasures to sell.

At least you have the opportunity to shop and then sell...perfect in my opinion! I think age is making me think before I buy, I don’t want to leave behind so much that my son and daughter-in-love end up putting most of it in a yard sale! We just returned from Charleston, SC this afternoon, and I only purchased one item besides a couple of cute tops. That is a record for me. I always enjoy seeing what you have purchased for your booths!Pam Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06155700433773658812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939564730750190269.post-33085850828214116452019-11-03T12:31:35.568-05:002019-11-03T12:31:35.568-05:00Rita I love that you are getting your groove back ...Rita I love that you are getting your groove back with shopping and finding vintage treasures.

The handmade wood pieces are all quite stunning, and the blown glass piece is breathtaking! I really have to limit shopping these days as I don't need or have room for another thing! I love that you can have the joy of shopping and hunting knowing it is for your booth. I look forward to hearing about your trip to Utah!

So many gorgeous antique and vintage treasures in this post. That little Airedale resin dog would be hard to pass up...but....then so many pretties seen here would be hard to leave on the shelf. Your Blenko glass is a beauty. Yes, I can just imagine the story that will be imagined within the confines of your home with this gorgeous piece.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782099930159071920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939564730750190269.post-33733096220217511362019-11-02T17:13:44.018-04:002019-11-02T17:13:44.018-04:00

You are a great source of knowledge! <br />I especially liked the vintage books you showed.<br />My buying habits have definitely changed because I am out of room. It is satisfying enough for me to to look when shopping and not buy.<br />I admire that you downsized and purged.

My weakness was china and quilts, they always tripped me as I went past. I do love Blenko glass and have a couple of pieces. Clarksburg was once home to 4 major glass factories and my husband's father and grandfather were both glass cutters. <br />I always enjoy your post.

Unlike me, who buys and then needs to find a way to unload more things. Mr. Cottage keeps telling me I'm trying to fill up a 5 pound bag with 10 pounds of items, LOL. I love to shop but for now the only way I know to sell some of my things is through Facebook Marketplace.carol@The Red Painted Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03759735039946191246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939564730750190269.post-62494105668631029052019-11-02T09:16:01.100-04:002019-11-02T09:16:01.100-04:00Great job getting back in the "shopping"...Great job getting back in the "shopping" groove without going overboard! It's definitely a new thought process, isn't it? Those sweet tops are my favorites, but my Renaissance Man would love the Old West book. And Blenko? Nice to see they're going strong again!

Who has time for much of anything else while going through that. To have downsized with all that work behind you, you can now enjoy your new home! I'm sure you do have to be restrained when you are shopping knowing you have limited space for storage. The great thing is you can still enjoy shopping for your booth and the love of the "the hunt." Great finds, love the pumpkin pillow and mats. Such a beautiful piece, "Arches" from the opening you attended. One of my favorites is love for rabbit paintings, so sweet. Great selections for the booth.......Happy November Rita.The French Hutchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10028597144785773804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939564730750190269.post-50525847170330747842019-11-02T08:27:42.907-04:002019-11-02T08:27:42.907-04:00Rita I've said it before and I'm saying it...Rita I've said it before and I'm saying it now, it's a good thing that I don't live closer to you. I would buy your entire booth! Those books.... all of them, but especially the Le Louvre volumes. That turtle magnifier and the horse tack brass ( reminds me of my dad!) are just beautiful. Instead, like you, I'm in the middle of purging. I didn't purge enough for the move because I was afraid of getting rid of something that would fit in the new place! Just shoot me. We are in the new house basically camping until Sunday when the movers deliver the furniture. Let the purging begin! lol LOVE all of your beautiful finds.Tammy Lagalyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13867732288394046819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939564730750190269.post-84499742152937656362019-11-02T07:08:40.215-04:002019-11-02T07:08:40.215-04:00So many treasures that would be hard for me to pas...So many treasures that would be hard for me to pass up. Those vintage trade books, I think even hubby would love those! I totally get the new spending policy. I have been feeling the same way. I find myself asking a lot of pre-buy questions that a lot of the times I end up putting things back on the shelf....and not blogging as much. I don't know about you or anyone else, but it had just got to the point like I felt like I was "supposed" to keep blogging so people wouldn't forget about me or that I had to compete. Now I am just going to do quality of life instead of quality of blogging. and if I post something, I post something. Loved seeing all your travel pics on FB, glad to see your move has spawned a nice vacay.Christine @ Rustic-Refinedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062085942305276829noreply@blogger.com
