packaging

So I have discovered another love/hobby/past time/creative outlet. Packaging. It may (dare I admit it) be right up there with "hunting". I have always had a creative side, or I think my huz might call it a "craft hoarding" problem. So what if I have a couple trunks of random supplies? A glitter tube here, a few glue sticks there and at least a few hundred buttons and snaps. Ever since opening my shop, I have been digging out these random supplies and finally put them to good use and let them live a little! I cannot wait to get a few customized shop stamps and an  embosser. Let's just say that I have had many dreams about embossing and stamping. I don't even want to ask if this is a bit on the crazy side, I already know the answer to that.

I just wanted to share some of my most treasured treasures that I have been packaged and sent off to their new found owners.

saying the dream out loud

I have been debating if I should speak my dream out loud to the universe and finally I just have the urge to speak. This little dream of mine, one that I have been cultivating in my head for months (scratch that--->at least a year and some months now) is to open up a mobile vintage goods shop. And it just so happens that lately I have been seeing them popping up in so many cities!! Which gives me hope and encouragement that this could really work. I want a platform to sell my goods and actually see my customers! Ever since I was young, owning my own business and opening up a shop has been a major dream and determination for me. I love the idea that I would be able to take it anywhere and I wouldn't be bogged down in one spot like a brick-and-mortar store would do.

 So there you have it, this dream takes up most of my daydreaming mind and I truly believe that I need to make this happen.

Some mobile shops that I love....

secret stash

I will be the first to admit that I have a problem. A shopping and more specifically a thrifting problem. So this so called "problem" has led me to a collection of fine treasures that only an empty house on my parents farm could hold. Over Christmas my mom brought a few boxes of goods that were collecting dust and just like that, I had 25 purses! I really couldn't believe it, that I had scoured thrift stores and sales and gathered these gems years ago. I am pretty sure that most of them came from my local thrift shop and probably a few from some shops in Fargo too. All of them are worthy of being put up in my shop, so keep an eye out for them in the next few weeks.

I will be going back to my parents farm next weekend and am so excited to scour the sheds, houses and all the corners to find some forgotten treasures. Since there are two empty houses on our farmstead, there will be plenty of hunting going on!!
