I am no stranger to blogging. My husband had a semi-popular blog (christianretail.blogspot.com) for a few years, and we tried to maintain another when we moved to Oregon (reedsinoregon.blogspot.com). Several months back, I convinced myself that blogging was sooooo 2003. Lately, however, I’ve found myself a knee-deep lurker on several friends’ blogs. Blogging is not dead, no, it’s good and alive, and I’m going to give it a try once again.
So what’s this blog all about? I have a passion for old things. And things that look old. I love estate sales, antique stores and most of all, garage sales. I have dreams of owning my own antique store one day. I also live in a home built in 1913 with original woodwork and built-in hutch – it’s fun to fill it with my vintage finds. I’m finding more and more women my age (mid-20s) interested in antiques and “old stuff” too – so I’ll share my favorite Twin Cities spots and finds.
I also yearn for a “country” way of life. A simple way of life. I don’t think this is particularly unique – we have whole magazines devoted to this today – Real Simple, Better Homes & Gardens, Cottage Living, etc. But I’m trying to live it out, as best as I can. So, here we go…
