Mom,a Follower and a New Dog

So last week was my first blog ever and I have to admit I spent the rest of the week seeing if I have a "follower." I know, I know that seems a little conceited but I do read a have a blog that I have followed for a few years and I have no clue how many people follow the blog. The only place I advertised is on the forums of Bonanzle...one of the web sites I sell on and I am happy to say I now have one follower...AntiquesRGreat who is also a fellow seller on Bonanzle. Thank you so much! A fellow antique/vintage lover who sells wonderful items as well as gives great advice on all that is internet commerce and vintage whose booth I have checked out many times. The best thing is she has a 20's themed/flapper girl as her profile photo...which is my favorite era and in fact I just helped co-chair my kids school's spring fundraised which was a 20's themed/casino/Gatsby era fest called Putting on the Ritz here in Phoenix. If you would like, please check out some fabulous 20's fashion of the night at a magazine here in Phoenix: http://www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com/photo-gallery.html?func=detail&id=27318#joomimg .

My mom has had to listen to me for the past year about how I am interested in salvaging the past and going to Goodwill and Estate/garage sales and she know that for the past few months that I have been very into finding "Treasures" and selling them or/add incorporating them into my home. We have been so busy lately this past school year that even though my parents live no more then 20 miles away I have been so busy with fulfilling school obligations that I have had little time to spend lots of time with family and friends other then the occasional Book Club or holiday. So finally summer is here and I have more time to spend with the kids and family. So this weekend, with the first week of summer under our belts, we went over to my Mom and Dad's to have dinner and my Mom suggested that we check out her city's Goodwill. How could I refuse? So we went and didn't find too much but did find a set of six knives and box of Harrod's of UK fame Placemats....can't wait to list.

We also got a dog, a French Bull Dog that we named Zoe, that we will have to train so I am sure I will be plenty busy this summer but hope to spend time not only listing new Jenn's Jewels but relaxing and spending some wonderful time with my family. Thank you! I really won't to spend some time talking about decorating ideas and my fabulous finds.
