In reply to Ivory. Yes, it's tough to pass them up sometimes, for sure! :)

I am so happy that I did not run across those fabulous fines, because I would have been scraping the bottom and sides of my purse looking for money, and praying I could scrape up enough to purchase most of those wonderful ideas. Thanks for sharing

In reply to penney Helms. OH shoot! Well, that's a bummer. Hope you get back soon. I will have to check out the antique store in Manteo. We are right around the corner from there. Thanks for the tip, Penney! xo

Because of “you-know-why”, this is the first year we have not spent fall vacation on the OBX in decades You have given me so many ideas for good searches the next time. I usually go to a little “antique” store in Manteo that actually has lots of good stuff and good prices. Wishing you love-filled holidays and a great 2021.

I have been scouring social media for inspiration as I am fairly new to this world of furniture restoration as a business. I’ve done several pieces for myself and friends but decided to take it to the next step and study and do my research. I came across your IG account and started to follow you about a week ago. I opened up this email and as I scrolled through you photos it was so ironic – I literally just picked up two pieces today that I bought on OfferUp One was an exact replica of the dresser in you post and the second was a $150 buffet that was very similar to the one you posted! I would love to get your ideas on how you would finish these pieces. Any advice or suggestions you could share would be so much appreciated. I truly wish I could share photos of my two pieces – it is too coincidental.

In reply to Beverly. Oh gosh, most were just small local shops, let me think... I think one was a CHKD, Hotline, and Mission Thrift. Don't remember the names of the other one or two I visited. Just local ones. :) xo

In reply to Marcie Lovett. I know!! It's so hard!! But it's hard bringing all home too. ;) It was hard to leave a few of those especially after looking for good finds for so long and then having to walk away. Boo! Happy Thanksgiving, Marcie! xoxo
