I did register a domain name just to make sure I had it.<br /><br />As I said to Natalie--there must be a connection between horse lovers and antique lovers!Alisonhttp://www.alisonhartbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-10444924887039111782012-01-15T19:18:22.279-08:002012-01-15T19:18:22.279-08:00Oh my goodness, this sounds like so much fun!

My husband and I love antique shopping - it's so thrilling to find something neat and meaningful to you, and then you always have a story to tell about it and a memory. Priceless!<br /><br />It's wonderful that you've found something to do that inspires you and has you so excited. Be sure to take lots of pics of your new booth and your finds! Will you be selling online as well as in a storefront? If so, please post the link to your online store!jenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737679332792618499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-64746376877015515582012-01-15T17:30:25.294-08:002012-01-15T17:30:25.294-08:00Natalie--what is it about horse people and vintage...Natalie--what is it about horse people and vintage/collectibles/crafts?

You're brave to take on a stall though, it's bound to be a lot of work. I wish postage were cheaper as I could send you lots of stuff from over here!!!Francesca Prescotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18201599087106798500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-75897918617067154182012-01-15T07:15:39.064-08:002012-01-15T07:15:39.064-08:00I find this very interesting - I was just talking ...I find this very interesting - I was just talking with another blogger who is 'simplifying' and I feel the urge to do the same thing.

I rented a booth in an antique mall (and then expanded to several booths) and made the rounds to garage sales and auctions looking for bargains. Since I love books, I always picked up lots of vintage books, and I also kept an eye out for cowboy, western, and horse themed goods. And I loved finding American made stuff that was ancient but still durable and useful! <br /><br />It was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun, and I spent hours at my booth pricing, decorating and getting it to look just right. Fun, though, and I did make some money. Good for you for pursuing something new! Wish I was with you to go shopping!Linda Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948970237555890150noreply@blogger.com
