Most people think that working from home is easy. Sometimes its easy, somtimes its just plain distracting! For instance, I got a 20 pound beagle in my lap trying to lick my face off while trying to snook me for a treat. His paws are on my lap top, hence making it hard to type. Anways, here it is 12 and i'm just starting my day of work. I guess today will be another late one, although at any given moment i can stop, once i start working i can't seem to stop. The more i got out and shop the more i want list, the more i want to list, the more i'm on my computer researching. So on that note i'm wishing for a dunkin iced coffee to fall in my lap, heres hoping.
I hit a flea market on Saturday with my mother and boy did we hit the jack pot. With only 40 dollars spent, i had a trunk full or treasures! I have starting listing some of them already! Here are some of my finds this week!

Happy Shopping!

Dr. Who, Over Already?

Guest post from: Denver Stephens

Am I the only one who can't believe how short this series of Dr. Who was? It seemed like it just got started. The only reason I opt for the expanded direct tv channel guide is so I can get BBC to see Dr. Who.

I don't feel like I've even had a chance to get to know the new Dr. Who. I really thought that I was going to miss David Tennant much more, but I have to admit that Matt Smith has grown on me. At first I thought he might be too young and silly, but I'm really beginning to appreciate his acting.

I'm not going to miss Amy Pond much, but I am so so thrilled that River Song was featured in many episodes. From what I could tell, she will be in lots of the shows in the next series too. I'm looking forward to that. It's always been such a mystery how she and the Doctor somehow end up married.

Now I'm going to have to find something else to watch for a while. Being Human looks pretty good this year. I tried to watch it before and thought that it was a bit boring. Without Dr. Who or even Torchwood, I just don't know what to do.

Divine Redesign

Hello, there fellow readers!

Vacation endedwith a bang, frankly i'm exhausted! Trying to get focused here but i'm wasting time on the internet, looking for finds and such. I should be taking pictures. The puppy is sleeping soundly, radio is on, fan blowing and I got a coke on the coaster. I love my little studio, I feel like i'm in my own little world! I finally took all the clothes down in here and it is looking much different. My minds in two different places. I'm helping with starting up a store here in the lehigh valley for Care Net. Its Divine Redesign! I'm helping my mother-in-law mainly. We have our grand opening this thursday! I'm excited but we have a ton to do before it's ready. I guess it's cram week. Here are some of things in our store:

Endless Possiblites!

I'm finding out that the possiblites are endless!! I love finding these neat little treasures!! I felt so behind because of family camp and family vacation but alas i have found finds while on vacation! I'm excited to share and i will as soon as i take pictures. My eye feels trained as i glance around which seems to be a pile of junk BUT then i spot it! At the bottom of the pile where no one seemed to look! There it is!!! A long lost buried treausure! ALLLL MINE!!! Until i list of course. I can't help it, some things I do want for myself. As quickly as i fall in love with an item, i quickly falll out. Only because the thrill of the sale and the thought of making the money motivates me to keep listing. I have this vision that if i keep everything in my house it will end up looking like some of those flea markets. Then i let out a big "pass" an move on from the thought of my house being completely filled with items. Although my studio is starting to look full. I'm am in the midst of finding some shelves, currently the clothing racks arent cutting it. I love this pitcher set that i found!

To Brag or not to brag!

It's crazy how fast my Etsy store has taken off. I listed a few items this morning and they have already sold. I need to start going out again just to get more inventory!!! I have to admit that i am quite excited to get this store up and running, but it seems to be running me! I can't list fast enough. Truly, I am blessed to stay home and purse my dreams of running my own business and loving it! I'm so thankful that i have that ablity. Here are some of the things that you missed out on!

Buried Treasures

So quick update, my journey with ebay has ended and a new path as taken lead. I have opened up another shop selling antiques/vintage things now. WHY, didn't i think of this before i have no clue. But has my mother clearly brought to my attention, I never liked shopping for clothes, so why would i choose that as a living? Yes, the thrill of the sale kept my in the biz longer, but the passion soon quickly faded when my rare finds of good clothing was slim to none.

So i have took on the yet another task as if i need more things to do, but alas i need somthing. I embark on trips to flea markets now, instead of trying to hit 30 yardsales on a saturday. I evenly spread myslef days out with shopping and bonding time with mom. Here are some of the finds:
