Back from abroad with a New Video
|
Hey Reader! My husband and I just got back from our whirlwind sourcing trip to England, and I gotta say my body clock is still way off. The first night home, I woke up convinced I was in France (why?!) and that the cat snuggling me in bed was a stray I had to figure out how to get home on the plane 🤷🏼♀️ 😂 True story. Anyway . . . our trip was a success, and I'll have a lot more to tell you about it here in the coming weeks. But for now, I want to share that a brand new video just dropped on YouTube. It's for anyone considering renting their first antique booth, or maybe for those who have tried but feel like it's not going how they planned. I'm sharing 5 things I would do differently if I was starting TODAY. There are some helpful nuggets in here for anyone looking to work smarter and not harder.
Online Shop ReopenAfter a long shipping pause, the online shop is now reopen 🥳 And even better news, new stuff is coming Monday! I have six suitcases of finds from England that I'll start adding each week. If you want to be on the list that gets an email when these items go live (not everyone reading this does!), then click right here. You'll get taken to the shop right now, but also get tagged in my system as someone who wants to know about the new items. I hope you enjoy the new video and find it helpful! And I'll see some of you back here Monday for new finds in the shop. |

Happy Wednesday Reader, When we travel to England to source for The Found Collection, we do a lot of fair shopping. If you've ever wondered what one of these events look like, you're gonna love today's new video over on YouTube ☺️ I take you along with me to the Lincoln Antique and Home Decorative Fair, so you can see all the fun things we spotted while out hunting. And the video also has a bit of footage from historic downtown Lincoln, including the Lincoln Cathedral and Castle, as well as...
Happy Wednesday Reader, The more time I spend in England, the more I appreciate antique majolica. It's just so . . . extra. ☺️ Colorful, ornate, and sometimes totally strange. It's the perfect Victorian era decor, with all it's quirks and over-the-top-ness. I'm sharing my burgeoning love of majolica with you all today over on the blog, and offering a quick intro into the history of this kind of pottery. If you're curious what makes these pieces so unique, you can click below to head over and...
Happy Wednesday Reader, Word has gotten out about this England container shipping thing I'm doing, and so lots of people have started asking me about my business. I can understand their curiosity . . . it's not quite the normal business you encounter every day. But one thing I often hear during these chats is something like, "that sounds really interesting, but antiques don't fit into our home style." I get it 😉 You say antiques and people start to imagine a room that looks like it's stranded...
