When it’s all said and done
I am tired and ready to turn this show around. Children are a great compass that faces north. I miss them and am ready to return.
I even miss the puppy and the kittens. I may not have any furniture left but hey…check out the back of the truck…just kidding…I promise not to hog the buy [...]
The Beverly Hillbillies
Man it is cold up here! I did not pack the right clothes. A Maine sweat shirt would be righteous right now.
Packing is not my forte.
The truck looks like Jed Clampett packed it. We are finding great pieces and some modern has revealed itself. Beautiful lamps and chairs galore…(I have a thing for chairs).
A lobster [...]
On the road again
All packed up (should have slept in the truck…nah…) and on the road to see vendors and friends from the business. Once we arrived, the adrenalin had worn off and we couldn’t make sentences…Ok, Ok I could not make sentences. During the next few days we will roam through two states, 6 warehouses and hopefully [...]
Oh the people you see…
We saw some of the most amazing people on this leg of our trip. Who knew tattoos and clergy would all be at the market sifting through the junk in search of a diamond! I love this part of my job!
Super freak
This morning we are up at 4am for a quick spin through the fields. Flashlight on, blood pumping and a razor eye darting back and forth (Mad Eye Moody from Harry Potter comes to mind). My first great find was a painting of a woman with a bird on her shoulder. She was the bomb but, [...]
Night owls have the best vision. Hoody who?
Night has arrived and everyone is tired from the impromptu hike we took to get some exercise. Like that is going to work off that nasty lunch I had?? We grab our flashlights and hit the first flea market by night. Vendors putting out their wares and the gypsy is out in full force in [...]
Where in the world is Muffie Faith?
So I am wondering how I am going to tell you all about this but not tell you where I am. So expect a few curve balls and most of this is the truth?
Nicholas is driving and doing a damn good job I might say. It is hot and raining…wish I had brought my boots.
The [...]
Jet fuel
We have landed and are on our way. Funny how my personality comes back as soon as the wheels hit the tarmac! Is that a Starbucks around the corner? Game on!
Off we go…
On the plane now. Guess I am committed. How can anyone be a flight attendant? I HATE to fly. What a kill joy I am on this beautiful day.
The plane ride was great because the elderly lady sitting next to me asked me if I was going back to college. I just burst out laughing. [...]
Game on!
OK so I hope to tell you what it is like to be on a buy with me. May the neuroses begin.
I got up this morning at 5 and Nelson was to pick me up at 5:30. I spend 20 minutes saying goodbye to each child and saying prayers over them so that leaves next [...]
