Now OPEN Thrift Collectible & Antiques

We have now opened a Thrift, Collectible & Antique shop in Myrtle Beach.  1360 HWY 501 across from 3rd Ave South In Myrtle Beach! Big savings on everything! Our love for vintage has brought us to the point of opening a shop.  It has been so long since I have been able to write anything because we have been so busy packing up all of our treasures to bring them in. 

We used to own a shop but it was a gift shop, A Little Peace of Heaven,  so our "Thrift" shop is a bit unique.  We have our thrift side but also collectibles antiques and our gift shop items.  We have been so blessed with not only our location but all the support of the locals here in Myrtle Beach!!

We have been working hard everyday for the last 4 months, so the shop is open everyday, and we work everyday!! The kids are trying to adjust to this change too, but have been helping out with:30 the house and animals because we are not even getting home until 7ish.  Then I actually fall asleep on the couch by 8....lol

I love our shop and my customers!! Everyday flys by and I can't believe it when my husband says are you almost ready to go?  All of a sudden it's 6 or 6:30!!

We will continue, just like our last shop motto, to donate 10% to a local charity each month.

Well off to work!!  I hope everyone finds their dream job, if you haven't it's not too late to try and find it!! ,

Let the good time roll with a portable bartender! Unique father's day gifts for the Dad who is always on the go!!

After we found this portable bartenders kit people started telling us they remembered always having one of these in their car, if not themselves their parents.  They would grab a bottle and put it in the case, so when they went for a picnic or stopped over someone's house they could just grab it and go!

Storage shed sale today It's going to be FUN! And I'm finally cleaning out my closet

Good morning everyone! It is a bright and beautiful morning here today at Myrtle Beach! Today we are going to open up our storage shed and see who might stop by and be interested in some of our treasures. We had to rent a space because we didn't have any room let in our garage for everything we were buying. It started to take over our house and we had piles of things on every surface imaginable.
It’s not like we didn’t have organized madness….lol... we had piles coming in, piles that needed pictures, piles to list, and then piles to mail. We just had too many piles!!

It's going to fun today and I can't wait to see how everything turns out!

  I am finally going through my closet, mini shopping mall....lol....to bring a bunch of my NWT, never will ware, wore once, maybe I will fit into this again, this will be back in style someday, clothes, shoes and jewelry!!  Wow, I think I will be able to breath again when I enter and I actually see what I have to wear!!
By reading this I'm sure you have figured out that I have the shopping bug.

I'll let you know how we do!  I hope everyone has a wonderful week end and be safe!!

1 cup milk, scalded

Fatherless Father's Day. What to do on this day without a Dad

Father’s Day is coming up soon and I was just thinking, how many of us are without fathers?

Since my children's father passed away when they were 7 & 9, it's always

 been a tough day for us. 

My dad passed away when I was 26 and I was much, much younger when my two grandfathers passed away.

What do you do on this day without a father?

The Art of Patience

Today, I am willing to learn the art of patience.  If I am feeling powerless because I am waiting for something to happen and I am not in control of timing, I will focus on the power available to me by learning to wait, learning to be Patient.

I am a very impatient person and this is a good one for me to work on.  Things WILL happen in all good time, when the are supposed to.  I need to work on letting things happen the way they are going to & not to try and force them to happen. Deep Breath!

Memorial Day is a day to remember our dedicated soldiers

My Dad was a Marine he signed himself up at the age of 17 without my grandmother knowing.
 He fought in Korea and worked his way up to Sergeant.  .  He was also one of the Marines "given the honor" to participate in a practice exercise called UP-SHOT KNOTHOLE. This is where our government used our military to observe the effect of radiation getting our troops as close to ground zero as possible and dropping an atomic bomb. Then having them run right into the mass destruction and act as though they were in a real situation. They were each given a Film Badge to wear, and when the assignment was done they each turned in their badges so the scientists

 could read the amounts of radiation each man received.

All of these men were told that the amount of radiation they would be receiving would be no greater then what you would recieve if you were getting an x-ray!

I could go on and on , but my father is now gone due to the effects of the radiation exposure along with hundreds maybe thousands of others who died for this experiment.

 The government will continue doing these kinds of things to our military so today I would like everyone to take a moment to honor our dedicated soldiers and remember the ones who have passed on.

God Bless America!

Having Your Antiques Appraised ~Execellent Tips on Appraisals

Here are some of the mistakes that people make when buying or selling antiques. Are these all of the mistakes that I hear about? I’m sorry to say no, not even close.

Here is an article I came across and wanted to share with all of you! It was written by Dr. Lori from Art and Antiques.

Shipping Included

I am shocked when people insist on shipping an antique to someone that they do not know so they can have it appraised. In case you were wondering, my office does not accept any packages known to contain items! A recent caller told my staff that they believed a particular person was reputable because they belonged to a certain society or association. Based on this affiliation, the owner of the antique planned to ship their antique piece. I strongly advise you never ship your antique to anyone for evaluation.
Why? You could be mailing your valuable antique to a dishonest person, plain and simple. You may never see your piece again. People who have fallen for this scheme have shared with me some of the excuses that they got from the recipient. They have said, “Oh, I never received it” (even though you have proof that you sent it and tracked the package’s whereabouts with the postal service). Or they say, “It’s not worth anything so I’m not going to bother sending it back” (despite the fact that you want the item returned and you own the item). Odds are very good that your piece was valuable. They wanted it, so they kept your antique.
Unfortunately, just because someone calls themselves a professional, has been in business for a long time, or has membership in a particular association, that doesn’t mean they won’t lie to you.

Appraisal and Sale Included

I believe that your appraiser should not be involved in the sale of your object because it is a MAJOR conflict of interest. There are many reasons that someone who wants to buy your piece or help you to try to sell it would offer mistruths about your piece’s appraised value. Of course, you don’t know the true value of your Asian highboy chest, so a person both appraising and buying the piece might evaluate it at a lower than market value so they don’t have to pay you as much money for it.
And if they are selling that highboy for you, say at a consignment shop or an auction house, the evaluation of the object’s value may also be low so they don’t have to work as hard to get your piece sold. That way they more easily get some money out of the piece in the form of a percentage of the sale. These people work on volume – the more they sell, the better.
Also, the appraiser/seller could evaluate your item at a low value so his friend or associate can buy your item cheaply. Then, working in cahoots with your appraiser, they can turn around and sell your piece for its true value — leaving you out in the cold. This is how you are cut out of the profits on an item that you actually own.
Exercise some common sense to avoid making a big mistake.
