Hello Dearests,
I
recently blogged that I resigned from my job to pursue my arts and crafts (and other things). Well that other thing is opening a booth at one of the best antiques stores in Albuquerque:
Antiques and Things.
Recently, I've been working on perfecting my displays. I especially need to figure out how I'm going to display my long necklaces...meanwhile those can still be found in my
Storenvy shop.
I volunteer at the store 4 days per month, usually on Sundays so come see me if you are out and about!
I must say that it has been really hard not to buy up everything that I like. I'm pretty proud of myself for being so disciplined because there are sooooo many awesome items at great prices. Honestly I don't know why anyone would ever buy anything new/mass produced when they can come into one of these stores and buy something that is great quality and unique, for either the same price or a fraction of the price!
Here are some photos of my favorite items in the shop.
This Etagere is Amazing!
What a cute vanity <3 I used to have one just like it when I was a teenager.
