WORD On the street........

heard thisweek...old lady stuff like china and silver....oh dear!!!! good antiques are really in trouble...
french is out and i cant sell it....heard that from a city dealer from ohio...also .. i love my white monotone frenchy room, but maybe i should change it to perky amy butler....my neat castle look, including crowns, isnt exactly flying off the shelves....i just dont know what those amy butler girls would want tho.... and i love the decayed dreamy white castle look...its hard for me to think perky and plain in midtone colors....


WANT TO SSEE SOMETHING REALLY MEAN about the resale and junk world...? GO TO http://www.secondhandnation.com/ SECONDHAND NATION , its a blog, AND LOOK AT .... may 24 2007
all i can say is wow...she has issues....there is so much wrong with this view....
starting with no ability to look into someone elses pleasure or world.....
does she think that these people she is making fun of, someone in an suv and coach bag is some wierd creature ....would it be ok for the coach lady to makes fun of the workers in the goodwill store...or the poor suckers at mc donalds...or the ones punching a clock for 6 $ an hour ?
its like if a hardcore runner started making fun of a couch potatoe quilters legs....or a model making fun of someones clothes...or a button collector making fun of a train collector..... just lame....and blind....
sounds like a big case of jealousy to me....

and this person is in the thrift world....
i found this wild site , above, while going
around the web ...trying to find out what happened between the junk girls ...sue and ki....they wrote that book about junk style a few years ago....and they were in a lot of mags.......remember.?...and on sues website...she doesnt even mention ki.... even when promoting the book they wrote together...so its a little mystery i would like to know about....
i know ki on her fun junkrevolution site.... http://www.junkrevolution.com/ shes so nice and runs a really friendly and interesting forum... a great place to talk to fellow junkers...in the business and not... and people who like to just gather and reuse....i would love to see her big show in minnesota...junk bonanza i think...

i really like the junk world....it has so many different parts....from the uppity and snooty...like my buddy who sells to the big decorators , or the uppity and nice like so many i know in the antique world... clear down the the grandma crafters...and down to the ones who would never pay my prices..and only gathers tuff that was actually in someones trash....

a lot of it is the same stuff tho....

Ann, I wondered what happened to the junk girls, too ~ I always enjoyed their columns in Country Home. Let us know if you figure it out!
