I've long adored unique, one-of-a-kind items -- perhaps that is why I'm addicted to antiques and junking. But I must admit that when then-stranger Robin Apple called me asking for advice on how she could market her painted rocks, I was a tad skeptical. Robin was given...
Instead of going out junking on Saturday, I decided to work on my antique booth at Jenifer's Antiques in Conway. I've wanted to get the monster of a shelf (~5' x 8') that I bought at the Just T's-N liquidation into my booth since I bought it 2 weeks ago, so I grabbed...
This week for Show and Tell Friday, I'd like to show off my collection of Josef, Napco, and Lefton figurines. Most of my collection is from the years of the 1940's-1960's. I haven't had these figurines displayed since last year before I moved, so I enjoyed taking them...

For Show and Tell Friday this week I would like to show off my Fenton Silver Crest collection. I love how formal it looks with its subtle details. My collection includes an epergne, 2 cake plates, rose bowl, and 2 compotes. Fenton produced Silver Crest in 1942 and...
