HELLO Granny:)

Smiles:)


This is my newest friend.
My Granny DeAnthony bought her for me:)
Granny was sweet enough 
to think of me just recently,
 while my Daddy visited her in FL.
I LOVE her!!!
And I LOVE my Granny...lol!


The best part about
this  Hello Kitty is
that she is 
RAINBOW!
She reminds me of the early 80's
when I was a little girl.
And she rocks the cutest bow.
Not to forget her cupcake")
She is the PERFECT addition 
to my never ending collection...



Remember friends...
You are only as old as you feel!
LOL! 

Thank you Granny! 
You are the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Hump Day!

cards any one??

First Sell

YAY!
I did it!
I sold a double set of 
vintage cards on Esty!
My first sale.
It's funny too because
 they were the very first item
 I put up for sale in my shop<3
I am so happy!



Second Sell

And to my surprise,
 when I checked my Esty store
 this morning
 I also sold
an adorable Gold Butterfly Pyrex
 butter dish!
I put it up for sale last night...
SOLD!



I feel pretty great right now:)
Accomplished.
Excited.
Hopeful.
I know it's not much 
but its a start.
Now, once all this becomes
 easy to me
I look forward to opening
 my Ebay store!
But for now...
Cheers to small accomplishments!

Oh yeah, Happy First day of Spring!!!

Those who will remain nameless...

The Word Jealousy


Jealousy is an emotion experienced by one who perceives that another person is giving something that she/he wants (typically attention, love, or affection) to a third party.
 For example, a child will likely become jealous when her parent gives sweets to a sibling but not to her. 
On an interpersonal level it is a felt threat from an outsider to an important relationship in which one is involved and produces feelings of anger and fear. 
It is a state of fear, suspicion or envy over one's possessions.


Envy is a waste of time.

The jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves.  ~William Penn

Love looks through a telescope; envy, through a microscope.  ~Josh Billings

Envy is the art of counting the other fellow's blessings instead of your own.  ~Harold Coffin

Envy is thin because it bites but never eats.  ~Spanish Proverb


Jealousy is simply and clearly the fear that you do not have value.  
Jealousy scans for evidence to prove the point - that others will be preferred and rewarded more than you. 
 There is only one alternative - self-value. 
 If you cannot love yourself, you will not believe that you are loved.  
You will always think it's a mistake or luck.  
Take your eyes off others and turn the scanner within.  
Find the seeds of your jealousy, clear the old voices and experiences.  
Put all the energy into building your personal and emotional security.  
Then you will be the one others envy, and you can remember the pain and reach out to them.  ~Jennifer James

The Word Narcissism



narcissist because he (or she) spends all of his time acting, protecting his ego by presenting to the world a mask, a false image of himself (herself). 

Consequently he becomes a master of deceit. 

But it is extremely important to be able to recognize people whose behavior is detrimental to them, or to their organization's performance.

narcissist is not capable of putting the organization's needs before his or her own needs.





Nobody can be kinder than the narcissist while you react to life in his own terms.
-Elizabeth Bowen

Denial is the way we handle what we cannot handle. ~Anonymous

If you want to go from being adored to devalued in the blink of an eye simply insult the narcissist. ~Tigress Luv

The narcissist is a man or a woman who has not the ability to give themselves the right to be wrong. ~Tigress Luv

If you are seeking advice on recovering from the narcissist in your life, know that it means that he or she is winning. 
The more you hold on to the pain, the more you validate his ability to cause it. ~Tigress Luv


Everyone knows people who fall into the jealous and/or the narcissist category. (unfortunately)




Just remember to stay clear from people who think they are better than you or bring you down with their envy.
Who needs a friend that cares only about what you have that they don't?
Who needs some one in their lives that just tries to one up you constantly or thinks that their life is more important than any one else? 
Come on people!!!
Jealously and narcissism is a huge part as to why our society is so screwed up.
These people need help.
Don't let them bring you down.
Just saying.

Steer clear of the crazies out there and have a safe, relaxing Sunday<3

LOVE ALWAYS
Kimmie B.

dreams do come true!

My shops are on their way! Hurray! 



So, I have recently put items up for sale on Esty to get practice for my upcoming eBay store. 
Esty is a wonderful little online bit
where artists can put up all they're creative work, vintage items, or really any thing artistic to sell. 
You can buy or sell on Esty.
(Till now I have been a buyer on Esty since 2008)
It's a lot like eBay...personally I think as a new seller, it is easier to manage than eBay.
Less options means less work!
That's why I opened an Esty store first.
Good practice!
I actually opened up my shop July of last year but became immediately intimidated so I backed off!
I finally decided to just dive right in last week and have seven vintage items up for grabs! 
I figured it out!
It wasn't as hard as I thought.
When I get the hang of the shipping part ( I haven't sold anything yet)
I plan on getting my eBay store going.
I want to be able to go to estate sales, flee markets, auctions, and whatever else to find good deals on antiques and vintage items so I can really get a handle on selling and making a second income from my stores.
This has been a dream of mine for a long time.
I need to make this happen for myself!

Here is a few pics of my first items!








Have a great week! 
I hope to get rid of this awful cold or what ever it is soon! 
blah.

love,
kimmers

Colorful Fun

PRETTY IN PYREX



Pyrex is one of the most popular types of kitchen glassware collectibles today.
It has recently made a come back and is considered to be very vogue.
Using recycled Vintage Pyrex is another modern way of thinking GREEN!
 People are seeing that old Pyrex is not only pretty but it's still around for a reason.
 DURABILITY.
Other reasons people are buying are availability, afford-ability, variability and of course, its immediate nostalgia factor.
 Many collectors need not go farther than grandma’s or even their own kitchen to find a piece of Vintage Pyrex. 
There are tons of different designs and colors of various rarity for collectors to choose from.


HISTORY BRIEFING


Pyrex glassware was introduced to the public in 1915 by the Corning Glass Works. According to Barbara E. Mauzy’s Pyrex: The Unauthorized Collectors Guide, there are 3 basic types of collectible Pyrex: Clear Pyrex Ovenware (introduced in 1915), Pyrex Flameware (1936 - 1979) and Pyrex Colors (1947 - ?).
 Of the three types, most people are familiar with the Colored Pyrexware because it is very distinct and there is a considerable amount of it still being used in households. There is a good chance that any antique store or flea market you visit will have a 
number of Pyrex items for sale.


MY INFATUATION


I love color.
I love any and every thing antique and vintage.
I LOVE kitchen decor and utensils.
SO... obviously I LOVE vintage Pyrex.
Hello!!!
I have a very small collection compared to the every day collector.
(I got my father into collecting it now too:)
HAHA!


HINTS AND TIPS


It's funny because I see Pyrex when I antique all the time,
but I seemed to have found most of my collection at the Goodwill or VOA... 
 for more than half price of what they  normally go for!
I love a good find<3 
(Keep this in mind if you have a budget to go by or you just like to thrift:)

 I  learned another good lesson on Pyrex recently. 
If you want the color of your glass to stay vivid and bright after usage,
DON'T put them in the dishwasher!!!
What happens is over time when putting Pyrex through the wash
they fade.
I always hand wash my Pyrex... it's easy to clean by hand any way!


MY SMALL COLLECTION




Hope you all enjoyed my Pyrex lesson! 
Have a wonderful weekend<3
Stay warm!!!


Love,
Kimmie B


p.s. I order this book on EBAY.
