I always buy those state plates and they are good sellers! I try to be selective and only buy the super awesome ones. I usually sell them for about $12 each (both the ceramic and metal ones.)Betty Crafterhttp://www.bettycrafter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1928927054963385614.post-2661123521694352332012-11-02T16:36:20.349-05:002012-11-02T16:36:20.349-05:00i love that kitchen scale! i might have to make a ...i love that kitchen scale! i might have to make a trip out to your booth ;-)Kitty Cat Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05150553286560704095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1928927054963385614.post-57817694578033603462012-10-30T15:01:57.564-05:002012-10-30T15:01:57.564-05:00Thrifting while on travel is often the highlight o...Thrifting while on travel is often the highlight of my trips!! In fact, I was down in Nashville yesterday (from Louisville, ironically!) and had to stop at the GW outlet. I didn't find much this time around, but it was fun none-the-less!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788740577135090145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1928927054963385614.post-73769375658601125132012-10-30T06:42:58.139-05:002012-10-30T06:42:58.139-05:00DV - You really want the scale?

Do you think sometimes, "Man, if I just bought this shabby chic thing and spray painted, I could make a lot of money... but I wouldn't be true to myself!" Sometimes it bugs me that people can get away with selling shabby chic for an arm and a leg and I'm slugging my smalls a few dollars at a time. :) <br /><br />Mom - definitely keep an eye out for paint by numbers, please! :) I will pay up to $7 for them - I am cheap. ;-)<br /><br />Maddie - Thanks! <br /><br />Ladybird - you're very right! Almost everyine is a transplant! I happily married a native - I like that he has history here. :) It's fun to drive around and learn about what used to be where or hear his memories around town!<br /><br />Rae - I think the ballerinas need to find a home with you pink landscapes in your case! :) Jamie@OwlReally.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157839575152736195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1928927054963385614.post-12020091641974831802012-10-29T14:37:01.915-05:002012-10-29T14:37:01.915-05:00i think my favorite thing is the ballerina paint b...i think my favorite thing is the ballerina paint by number! the colors are great! and i totally vintage shop when i'm out of town. you find such different stuff in different regions.

So yeah, doesn't surprise me that most of your customers are tourists - I think most of the people here overall are tourists & transplants.

It helps that my antique market is right on Route 1. I have noticed that anything that is Maine-related sells - most likely to a tourist as a souvenir. I do the same thing when I am traveling.<br /><br />I love that paint-by-number with the ballerinas btw. I have never seen that one before. Also, I have started to venture out of my own aestetic style as well. I used to say that I could keep about 90% of my booth in my own house - that is now down to about 60%. But kitsch sells, so hey - in the booth it goes - as long as it sort of fits the general theme :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17505032049851950689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1928927054963385614.post-17436673129554410752012-10-29T07:38:24.971-05:002012-10-29T07:38:24.971-05:00I will buy that scale!!!!
