…not a yardsale, just my front yard

September 3, 2015 by christen | 8 Comments

My pastor gives short radio sermons called “Not a sermon. Just a thought.” You may have heard Lon Solomon on your radio before. As I walked out to my yard to see what my mover dropped off (after much ado) I can’t help but be a bit nervous that a)my hoarder neighbor will come take pieces or  b) people will slow down wondering about the yard sale.

Not a yard sale. Just my front yard.

I’ve turned into a crazy picker these last few weeks as i gear up for my space at Lucketts. I am probably going a bit overboard as every room in my house is going to be filled soon. Never the less, needing to get rid of stuff – vintage & antiques? email me: cbensten@blueeggbrownnest.com

And not to be overshadowed, kindergarten orientation happened an hour ago. It was a Xanex kind of morning for Mommy.

    I’d be kind of nervous myself..Have you considered maybe renting a space nearby? Sort of like Stylish Patina warehouse..Just big enough to safely store your pieces. Good luck in your new adventure!

    I can never pass up a great deal!! Or something that I might be able to recycle, one day.

    Hi Christen
    I can’t wait to see what you do with all the pieces. I wished my movers (if I had them) dropped off all this furniture to paint in front lawn. Yah more video’s to learn from as well!!

    I can’t tell you how big I smiled when I saw this post! I just
    Finished a huge vintage fair and for months my driveway looked
    like a constant yard sale! I still work out of my garage and paint in
    my driveway. I admire all the work you do and it makes me so happy to see
    happy to see that you do too! Thanks for sharing!
