Feature Friday Numero Dos!

Thats right guys, its time for my second ever:

FEATUUUUUUURE FRIDAAAAAY!

Today I am bringing you the creativity of Katie! She came by the flea market and almost instantly fell in love with a suit/briefcase that I had. Obviously she bought it and after a few awesomely funny jokes about being a boss with a breifcase, I told her about my feature friday segment. She said she was going to be using it to store some of her smaller belongings under a shelving unit that she made. Yes, you read that right, she made! Check it out for yershelves! (see what I did there?)
 

I like yo shelves, girl.

 

She then saw an old projector screen that I had, and was wondering if it was a map. Sadly, it was not. BUT,  I knew Mike had a map that he was maybe thinking about selling. So, I sent her over to pester him. She didn't end up with the map, (he didnt have it at the flea and is emotionally attached to it in some weird, map loving way.) She did, however, pick up this super awesome welding hat. Now she matches her dog!

 

Now THAT is a Christmas card.

 

Now, as a side note: Katie has her Masters in Social work and is TOTALLY HIREABLE! Woohoo! She can also build shelves, match her dog, and is a very good life-coach. (I would know.) Holla at her!

 

I will be updating you all later on my trip out to Ithaca last weekend. It was a doozie! I can't wait to go back. More on that later! In case anyone was wondering, today is my last Friday ever working a 9-5 job. It's quite the story that I will update on next week on my last actual day ever, but for today, its my last Friday! YES!! #Livin the dream.

 

Smell ya later!

First EVER Feature Friday!

Ladies and Gentlemen, the moment you have all been waiting for! --(ahem)--

FEATUUUUUURE FRIDAAAAAAAY!

 

I am very pleased to share with you the story of Amie! She came to the flea market a few weeks ago and immediately fell in love with a coffee table and mini ottoman I had for sale. They were both in pretty rough condition. Well, the table was just a weird green/vomit color. (It was Miranda's and it was in our living room for a few months before we replaced it with a kick-a surfboard shaped table.) Amie said she was going to be re-finishing them and I immediately told her about my blog and feature idea. She was so excited and promised she would send me pictures. She delivered and thats why she is the:

 

FIRST EVER FEATURE FRIDAY!

 

 B-E-A-UTIFUL!!

I'm drooling over here.

 

You know what I just thought of? Wouldn't it be nice to have before and after pictures? YES, YES IT WOULD. Hindsight is always 20/20. I will do my best to take before and after pics! But didn't she do a great job!? She took some dusty, worn out, vomit colored pieces and transformed them into little sparkling gems! Thanks again Amie!

 

This business and blog are ideas that have been marinating in my brain since May. I am beyond thrilled that it is actually taking off! Slowly but surely more people have been showing interest and I can't wait for what the future has to bring! It's people like Amie that are helping me realize my dreams, and I can't find the words to show my gratitude.

 

I have some more big news to divulge but I will be taking the weekend to clear my mind and just have some fun! I will be camping in the Ithaca area with my boyfriend, Jordan, my best friend, Taylor and her boyfriend Shawn. My roommate Miranda and her boyfriend, Tyler might be meeting us too. I guess you could call it a couples weekend! (vomit) I know I say I want to relax but you better bet your bottom dollar that I will be picking, scoping and bringing some things home with me. Heres hoping it fits in the car or else Jordan might have to hitch hike back to Buffalo!

 

Have a safe and happy Labor Day Weekend friends! Smell ya later!
