A Trip to Market Antiques in Ottawa, KS

 market antiques, ottawa, kansas

Monday for my birthday we did a little antiquing.  Most kids don't like to go to antique stores.. but mine love it!  (lucky I know)  Ottawa Kansas has LOTS of antique stores.  I wrote about this little antique store back in 2009 when they also served lunch and PIE

I love little beaded and sequined purses.  I would love to hear the stories that they could tell.

Help! An Estate Sale Threw Up In My House..

The last 10 days or so I spent helping my Mother and Father in law at their estate sale.  It was a BLAST.. so much fun I'm thinking about doing it for other people. 🙂   They gave us TONS of fabulous stuff.. + We brought all the left overs from the estate sale to our house to sort out between 2 different auctions and a couple of spectacular things for eBay.   Here's what my house looks like while we are sorting…

This is the best looking part of the mess…
