Rustic Pickns'


I LOVE Antiques!! I love to buy them or even just go to different Antique stores to look! BUT my Favorite thing to do is dig through people's Barns and Old Houses to find their junk but someone else's treasures! 

It all began when I started collecting several things here and there and decided I had too much junk so I started using online yard sales through fb to get rid of my items. I soon found out that people were looking for items I had and wanted more! One thing led to another and I ended up creating a name and fb page, Rustic Pickns'. 



I have been buying items I find here and there or I'll consign items to sell. If someone has a "honey hole" to pick, I'll go and pull out items I know I can sell for them. Most of the time I bring the items home with me and sell the item and return 70% in cash to the previous owner. It's a great way for someone to earn extra cash but get rid of their unwanted goods. 

Today, I'm opening a booth for the first time at the Ft. Smith Flea Market. It has turned out great! I have a few consigners I'll be selling for and getting rid of a few of my own things. 



I love the atmosphere of a flea market or auction! Everyone is so nice (98% of these people are in their retirement years-- I've always said I'm an 80 year old in a 28 year olds body!) I want to buy and hoard a million things I see too!!
