Can we talk about whatever is happening with Avon right now? 😂

I feel like Avon is having the same moment Pyrex and CorningWare had a few years ago…

You know the one…

Someone lists a casserole dish for $10,000 on eBay, and suddenly every dish in America is “RARE!!!”

Now it’s Avon.

Every perfume bottle is:
✨ Ultra Rare
✨ Museum Quality
✨ Highly Collectible
✨ Worth enough to put your grandkids through college.

Bless.

Listen… there ARE Avon pieces that collectors chase. Some are legitimately hard to find, some sell very well, and some absolutely deserve a second look.

But if Aunt Martha ordered it from the catalog in 1978, chances are about 4.7 million other Aunt Marthas did too.

A listing price is not a selling price.

The internet has a funny way of turning “I hope someone buys this” into “This is the current market value.”

So… what’s your take?

Is Avon actually making a comeback with collectors, or is it just having its “$10,000 Pyrex on eBay” era?

(And before the Avon collectors show up… yes, I know there are exceptions. Please don’t throw tiny glass poodles at me. 🐩😂)

Join me for some vintage! Special guest….

07/15/2026

🚨 Less than 2 hours. 🚨

I found an audio today that basically sums up my entire weekend.

Here’s the thing… the world is a whole lot smaller than we think.

I drove six hours from home chasing dead people’s things (as one does), walked into a shop I’d never been in before… and somehow still found a connection to someone I knew.

Proof that small businesses are basically one giant, slightly caffeinated, slightly unhinged family. We shop each other’s stores, cheer each other on, share leads, and occasionally enable each other’s questionable purchasing decisions.

It’s a beautiful system.

Now it’s your turn to benefit from my inability to leave good vintage behind.

🕖 Facebook LIVE tonight at 7 PM!

Comment SOLD + your email when you claim something. I’ll send the invoice, you pay it, then either swing by to pick up your treasures or we’ll ship them straight to your door.

Like. Follow. Share. Tell your vintage-loving friends. Or don’t… and then act surprised when they tell you they got the good stuff before you did.

See you tonight. 🐇

🔥 The finds were too good to wait another day! 🔥

That’s right… we’re breaking tradition this week.

Our Facebook Live is TOMORROW — Wednesday, July 15 at 7:00 PM!

I know, I know… we usually do these on Thursday, but these treasures have been riding around with me for four days, and I just can’t keep them to myself any longer.

Apparently, four days on the road wasn’t enough chaos.

I chased rabbit holes across state lines, filled the vehicle with treasures (and probably a few things I didn’t need), collected enough stories to keep us entertained for a while, and somehow made it home.

Now it’s your turn to see what all the fuss was about.

✨ I’ll be sharing my favorite finds.
✨ I’ll tell you the stories behind them.
✨ And… I’ll have a special guest joining me! 👀

Never shopped one of our live sales? It’s easy!

Ever play Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?

Saturday, I hit the road in what can only be described as, “she ran away.”

No real itinerary. No sensible plan. Just a full tank of gas, too much coffee, and that unmistakable feeling that somewhere, some dusty shelf was holding onto the exact treasure I’d been waiting to find.

Some people hear wedding bells. I hear estate sales calling my name.

Now the question is… where did the rabbit hole lead this time? 👀

Stay tuned. I’ll show you what followed me home… and maybe a few of the things that almost did.

This summer, I made myself one promise…

Be a little more deliberate with my downtime.

Turns out, I accidentally fell down a different kind of rabbit hole.

I rediscovered books. Words. Writing. The kind of stories that make you forget to eat, ignore the laundry, and convince yourself that “just one more chapter” is a perfectly reasonable lie to tell yourself at 1:17 a.m.

This is the middle book in a series, and it absolutely wrecked my schedule.

I stayed up way past my bedtime. Then this morning, I got up the second my alarm went off—not because I suddenly became one of those organized morning people—but because I needed another hour with my fictional friends.

And the last hundred pages? I read them standing up.

Standing.

Because there was fighting. Betrayal. Chaos. Poor life choices. People were trying very hard not to die, and I felt it was only right that I be there emotionally. You don’t sit during literary combat. That’s just rude.

If you’re the kind of reader who gets book hangovers, mourns fictional characters like they’re family, and immediately starts plotting how to rearrange your day around reading… welcome. You’re my people.

Stay tuned this fall. Let’s just say the rabbit has been whispering ideas, and if everything comes together, we’re going to have a place where fantasy lovers, romance readers, mystery addicts, and everyone in between can gather without anyone judging the size of your TBR pile.

Now… I need your help before this book hangover hits full force.

📚 What are you reading right now?
✨ What’s the one series that completely consumed your life?

Drop your recommendations below. Apparently, I’m collecting books as aggressively as I collect vintage, and I’m perfectly okay with that.

This week at the Painted Trunk…

07/09/2026

Some people ask their parents for tomatoes or zucchini.

Mine is over here growing me a paper wasp nest.

Before anyone calls the authorities… it’s empty. No tiny winged tenants. Just one gloriously weird piece of nature headed straight to my collection.

I love weird stuff, and my dad has accepted this assignment without asking too many questions. 🖤

Tell me I’m not the only one whose “wish list” makes other people question their life choices.
