Let the flea market season begin with flea.o.logy on April 30th...

I have be invited back again this year (6 years and counting) as a dealer at my friend Paula's flea market being held at her awesome historic home located at 218 N. Main Street, Payson, Utah. It is gained so much of a following that she and two of the other dealers are promoting it as...

We are having 3 sales this spring/summer:

I have been burning the candle at both ends getting things ready for the sale.  

Here is a sneak peak and a small sampling of some of the cool, custom, one of a kind painted furniture I plan to offer APRIL 30th at reasonable prices:

Hope you will stop by at flea.o.logy on Saturday, April 30th!! You won't regret it...

...the thrill of the hunt...

I have found ways to earn extra income from reselling many of the items that I purchase. I like that one of a kind or vintage look that I can achieve from acquiring what some would call secondhand merchandise.

Since I am an refurbisher, it is gratifying to find that one piece that needs a fresh coat of paint to become a truly cherished "new" item for someones home or garden. I have never been intimidated by a little fixing up, a little painting or maybe just a little cleaning.

One of the really great things about Flea Market decorating is that we are recycling good usable items, keeping our landfills from being overfilled with many things that are still of value.

Be bold and fearless about shopping secondhand, but buy what you can reasonably use.

Remember that while an item may seem like a good deal, it can become a burden on available storage space in your home if you really don't have a use for it.

There are a lot of good magazines on the newsstands and in bookstores such as Flea Market Style for example, that will give you some great ideas for using or recycling home decor items.

Keep looking. Be diligent and patient. Part of the rush comes from the thrill of the hunt...

Make it a great day!
