Why do I Blog?

Why do I blog?  (An honest retrospect over the years)

1) I enjoy it. Really I do. I think it is fun to write, even if people aren't interested. I don't care because I still think its fun.

2) For some reason, as you may have noticed, I don't have a lot of followers, however, I have a ton of views. Like a lot. I am guessing it is because I am not very tech savvy and I don't have things set up correctly or whatever. I probably need to look into that....

3)This blog brings a lot of traffic to my 2 Etsy shops. I don't really know if those turn into sales or not, but I am okay with that. I just love to know that somehow I am making a connections with other people that share my love of vintage goodies.

4) If you have been reading my blog over the years, you can see that I am really big on promoting small and independent businesses and well as charities. I have lots of talented friends and I like to brag about them.

5) I am also big into the arts and I like to feature artists. My favorite artist is my 12 year old son, Evan. (but I like other artists too)

6) I like to swear, a lot. Which is why my 9 year old daughter is not allowed to read my blog. Give her a couple of years, she still has a few words to learn. So far, she has learned "Fuck" "ass" and "Bitch" none of which I can take credit for, all learned at school. 

7) I think things are funny. Things that other people may not think are funny. That's okay. Shopping at thrift shops can be so entertaining, and if you go as often as me, you may look at things differently. There are things for sale that shouldn't be for sale, there are interesting people, like the old man buying at least a couple of dozen used bras and undies (remember when I mentioned things for sale that shouldn't be for sale...underwear falls into that category). Anyhow, I don't judge. I love interesting people way more than boring people. 

8) I blog because things in general are interesting and funny. 

9) I get really excited when I score some sweet vintage finds and I love to share that joy with all the kind souls who read my blog. It's so much fun when I have a day of shopping and my trunk is full, and I just can't wait to open my bags and lovingly drool over my bounty. 

10) when I die from suffocating under my pile of vintage stash, you will have my blog to remember me by.....


Anyhow, that is just some of the reasons why I love to blog. And now I have to force my daughter to turn off icarly and get in the shower. 

Now is the part that I request you to follow my blog, and follow me on all the social medias...like, just all of them. I am there...seriously, I don't fool around. All of them. Except Reddit. What the hell is that anyhow?

Until next time...bye!

  2. So funny, hubby and I swear a lot too. My 4 stepkids heard a boatload and swear way less than we do. My hope is at least they learned how to swear correctly :)

    1. For some reason, I felt so much better that both my kids learned their swears from school instead of me...

  3. Classic -esp.#6. Years ago I worked in a preschool & the cutest toddler one day started running around singing a string of cusses, which of course the other kids immediately copied. Turned out that his Dad had gotten a flat tire on the way to school that morning & had to change it in the rain

    1. Well that is the funniest thing! I am surprised that my kids didnt pick it up from me, but as foul mouthed as I am, I have this super magical power of being able to turn it off around kids!!
