sometimes it's fun to answer marketing calls

marketing/sales call:

me: Hello?

woman: Hi! Can I talk your mommy or daddy?

me: You'll have to call them at their home. My husband and I don't have any parents living with us.

woman: Oh... I'm so sorry. I'm calling on behalf of ::something, I tuned out:: ... take the survey?

me: Sure.

woman: Ok, how many people living in your home are over the age of 35?

me: Zero.

woman: Excuse me?

me: My husband and I are both under thirty.

woman: (laughing so hard she can't breathe) I can only survey people over 35. Miss, I am so sorry. But this has been the best call I've made all day.

me: Glad to help. Have a great day.

woman: Oh, Honey... I will NOW!

An Antique Show? {Yes. Seriously.}

I do not know what has gotten into me lately.

Burlap.

Seasonal wreaths.

Repurposing.

ANTIQUES.

Ugh. I hope this is not a phase I look back on and think "what was I thinking?" because I'm kindof in love with the whole old-is-new thing. (Even if its not a new concept.)

Check this out:

The Marburger Farm Antique Show in Round Top, Texas (pop. 90 - just in case you didn't know).

It's apparently the holy grail of antiquing and completely new to me! I applied to be a "VIB" or Very Important Blogger - on a whim - and got a nice email that I indeed was a VIB. How fun is that?

I have no place in my home for this - but how amazing would it be in a kitchen? (Plus I'm sure its so beyond my means - but I can look, right?)

I'm so in love with this chair -- I can imagine so many fabulous photo shoots in this chair!

These letters are so stinkin' cool - I'd love to do a wall of "G's" in the house somewhere. (Or is that a little over the top?)

Zero explanation needed for my love of this one, right?

Sah-woon. I'll take one of each, please!!!

(All of the images are from the facebook page I liked to above!)

I'm excited to experience the goodness myself ... I'll be saving my pennies in hopes I can score a faboo find in my bidget. What exactly? I have no idea. But I"m sure there will be something I can't live without!
