WELCOME
You
have just arrived at the Garage Sale Queen's website. You are about to be amused
and maybe get an idea or two. Anyway, we're just real glad you stopped by.
Please look around. Let us know what you think.
I'm a redneck Martha
Stewart (without the stock); a southern Erma Bombeck (ask your mom, if you don't
remember her); a white trash Rachel Ashwell; and a sweet potato queen kinda-gal
before sweet potato queens were cool.
I've
been an artist all my life. But my "real jobs" were mostly in the
non-profit world. I have also been a caregiver for most of my adult life. It has
been Mom, Dad, the son, the grandson or an entire community.
Well, it seems
"my time" has come. Those non-profit years taught me to create projects and pull
off major events on shoestring budgets. Working with countless volunteers has
enabled me to recognize and cultivate others' talents. It's great; I'm creating
unique, fun art and teaching others to find their own creative nitch.
My
style has been called many things. Shabby chic, trash to treasure, flea market
finds, even antiquing. I call it the "Art of Recycling." My inspiration
comes from what I find. It might be old dishes from a flea market or a discarded
fan cage
sitting out on the curb on trash day. But most of my "inspirations"
are found at Garage Sales. Lord, how I do love Garage Sales. It's the
"thrill of the hunt" and getting a great deal. I've always loved to
shop and I've always loved a bargain. Guess that's why I love garage saleing.
After you have surfed through this site, I'd bet you'll stop at the next garage
sale you see! Watch out, though... It can be addicting. You'll never look at
junk the same way after today!
Have fun. (Life is too short not to).
Send this site to those eclectic friends.
Come back often.
Email me; I love to hear from folks!
Most of all, thanks for stopping by!
