Feeling rejuvenated and inspired today after a really good week so far. It didn’t start off so great with jury duty and a 24 hour bug, but the week is rounding out to be quite awesome. We had meetings this week with some really wonderful people. From talking about dreams, upcoming business plans and even sharing vulnerabilities, we realized how absolutely grateful we are for community. Not only are Denver and Colorado filled with some super talented creative folks, but…
This week I had the rare opportunity to explore 100 years of vintage clothing inside just one room at the Robert Yardley Force home. It was an experience I’ll not soon forget and one that I am very excited to share! Friends, this sale is better than any vintage clothing store, antique store or online store I’ve ever been to or seen! You will find everything from a closet full of late 1800s petticoats to hoop skirts and jackets, Ostrich…
Remember last time, when I told you all to get a move on and get your tax license? And I promised I would show you how easy it is to submit said taxes? I keep my promises. To wit: Step 1: Fill in the ovals. Step 2: Copy all of that onto the next sheet, which is for your records. Step 3: Write out the check and mail it in. I’m not kidding. It is that easy. …. Oh, alright,…

One thing I love most about estate sales is that you are allowed into someone else’s world. I love weaving my home together so I really feel honored at the opportunity to see how other people construct their space. I’ve been in many homes in and around Denver and some of my very favorite are condo style homes in Aurora that were built in the 1960s. They are small, but laid out perfectly. And if I had to pick my…
It’s almost March! This is an exciting month for us. We will notify Spring Market applicants of their status by Thursday, March 1st!

If only we had room for each and every one of you! Today…
My online hunting for “Fab Friday” was going SO slow this week! I couldn’t understand why there were hardly any listings on Craigslist! Come to find out, I was scavenging CL in a very small town in Illinois. Oops! I confess, I do get snoopy every now and then and search around the country to see what I can find. It’s a great way to wander without spending any $$! After realizing my error and changing my city back…
Last week during our photo shoot for “Cat Eyes,” my sweet friend Ali and I were swapping thrift secrets and she shared the BEST little nugget with me! Are you aware, my friends, of the “I M Unique” card!? One of my fave thrifting experiences is at Unique in Westminster (and Aurora) so just imagine how PUMPED I was to find that I could save $$ by shopping on Thursdays!! They never have tag sales according to color, but they…
