Amarillo TX📍

We found a GOOD garage sale today. Antique books. Ironstone. Bibles. 1800’s nails. Mini church pew. Apothecary bottles. Brass. Demijohns. Old bells & bits. Liquor decanters. Oil paintings. The list goes on.

The back of the van is LOADED DOWN & even while carrying my toddler in my arms kept me from digging, I still felt like a kid in a candy store.

Wait until you see the loot 🙌🏻

Anyone else guilty of staging pretty things to sell and then accidentally falling in love with them?

Some of these will be for sale… eventually…. one day… 🫣

Filling this van up one unnecessary purchase at a time 💁🏼‍♀️

Oklahoma! You were good to us today. The first of the true antiques I’ve spotted since we left NC.

So here’s the thing. Driving across the country to junk is hard. You either spend all day driving, or you spend all day shopping, and make it nowhere fast.

The reality of our trip so far is that we have to do more driving to get to where we’re going (Texas), and then do some back-tracking later on to shop.

Oklahoma City, we’re carving out two days of our trip to come back and visit all the shops you have to offer…. and there’s a lot. I haven’t been this excited in days.

Here’s a sneak - I’ll share my haul tomorrow. It’s a good one, finally 🙌🏻

Well, day one was pretty underwhelming to put it plainly. I still have high hopes for the trip, but Tennessee, at least the part we were in, was dry. It was beautiful- but for a picker, disappointing. I’m not complaining a bit, but I’ll never lie and say I find good things when I don’t.

Here’s to hoping Arkansas will be better tomorrow! 🤞🏻

Our first major stop on our cross-country junking trip was the !

My only rule of this trip was to buy smalls. Nothing big.

I broke my only rule. But I HAD TO.

Can you guess which trencher came back to the car with me?

This is called right place, right time.

I went for boxes & diapers. I only paid for diapers 💁🏼‍♀️

Did I make three trips into the store for free boxes? Absolutely. Did I look like a nut doing it? Sure did. Do I care? Not a bit.

It’s only 80 boxes, but boxes add up when you’re sending out 300+ a week. Now that Whatnot has shifted to priority, I’ll take as many recycled boxes as I can get my hands on.

See ya next Sunday night, Walmart!

I don’t talk about how this business started often, but I’m feeling a little sappy tonight. So, here’s a story time.

When I got pregnant with my daughter, I was too sick to be able to continue with photography. I couldn’t leave my house for sessions, look at a computer to edit, or respond to messages without bending over a toilet to puke. The only job I had known for nine years was no longer sustainable. I was devastated, spiraling into a very dark depression, and we were broke. Tyler busted his ass to get us through.

So, freshly postpartum with a clingy newborn on my hip, a husband who was always working, tired of pinching penny’s together, I tried TikTok. It didn’t pan out. It was a lot of work with very little pay, and I was embarrassed to be always on camera- especially since I had gained so much weight postpartum.

But, because of TikTok, I kept getting an add for a new app called Whatnot. Constantly. Annoyingly. After a month or so of seeing it every single day, I downloaded it.

Three days later I scheduled my first show. On the floor of my living room in the middle of the night, I sold ten things. The rest is history.

For a year and a half I’ve quietly built a business from the ground-up in the corner of my own home. It’s been so fun. There have been NO tears. No tribulations. I get to stay home with my baby, shop for a living, and have a job that I fall in love with over and over. I can be off when my husband is, have dinner on the table when he gets home, and put my baby to bed every night. I’ve made friendships and learned so many things along the way. I hired THE BEST employee - Kendall Jones - who is the backbone of all the back work. She truly is the best and I’m so lucky to have her helping me.

A few months after I started selling, I convinced an acquaintance to try it - Farm321 - and she was successful too. Very successful. Week after week she shows up, kicks ass, and does it all over again. The best part? We’re dear friends now. She is my closest friend, actually. The silly app Whatnot did that for me.

A year and a half later, I’m still just a girl selling antiques in the middle of the night, but it’s no longer from my living room floor. It’s from my office in the new house we were fortunate enough to buy this year.

If you take anything away from this post, please let it be that what’s meant for you will find you, and when you hit rock bottom, it’s probably for a reason. When the better things come knocking, try them, in the middle of the night, from your living room floor.
