American Pickers on Etsy

When I found out that Danielle from American Pickers had her own Etsy shop, I checked it out right away. She loves textiles and makes some great bags from reclaimed fabric items. This is one of her Pickin' Bags. A few hours after I bought mine, she was completely sold out.
When I shop the estate sales, I make a quick run-through like a rabbit to scope it out, then go like a turtle, digging through the random boxes in garages and outbuildings. Of course, I couldn't do that without my anti-bac wipes!
After I bought it, I decided that it would be nice to have her sign her handiwork. She granted my request. I like the way Danielle chose to sign it. Since it was an after-the-fact plea request, she added it using a huge eyelet.

What kind of items do you think I will score with it?

Season 2 = HUGE

Mike and Frank said that while we have been busy with our barbeques, they have been out picking their way across America. I wonder what goodies they have uncovered this time. I hear that they will sell some of their finds to a NASCAR guy. The only NASCAR guy I that know is Terry Labonte and he has retired LOL. In other words, you probably won't find me at the races.


Frank says that this is History's best summer yet. Season 2 of American Pickers will premier Monday, June 7 at 9/8c so you know where I will be! Yep, that's right. Smack dab in front of my television!!

American Pickers takes a road trip

Frank and Mike are getting closer to my part of the country. They still have hundreds of miles to go, but they ARE getting closer. On tonight's episode, they made their way to Louisiana. I'm hoping they travel on to Texas. I'd like to see what kinds of treasures they would find here. I just don't want them to buy what I want to buy. LOL

American Pickers ROCKS!

I have a new, favorite show. It's on the History channel and it's called American Pickers. It may be dangerous for me. I LOVE to junk and this show just feeds that desire. From honey holes to windshield time, get the inside scoop on picker lingo from Mike and Frank. They even have a DVD for sale.They know how to find all the "good junk" and I'm taking notes. Monday's just got fun!
