6 Days At the Fair AND that folks… is a wrap… two years ago I set out on a quest to finish my   bachelor’s   degree.  Whether it was spurred by the intense desire to know   I could…   or some   quack   hiccup in the brain, I   emptied   my bank account and signed up for night school.   It kind of almost killed me... working full time and trying to manage homework, family and my vintage clothing second job.. I must of been out of my mind.   But sometimes.. the craziest things happen.. in the verge of an almost complete breakdown during 4th quarter madness.... I  somehow  managed to sign up   for a race..... that I wouldn’t even tell my husband I signed up for until a few months before it happened.  I mean how could I tell anyone that I plan to run for 6 days???   A 6 DAY RACE........ HOW utterly...FANTASTIC.....!!!!  T hose words and the thump of excitement in my hear...

For those who always wanted to know the story of how I restarted Loulette's... this was a post that was unpublished from June 2017  SO I did it again… just as I found peace with myself that I was not going to resell any more vintage items, I sold all my tools of the trade (except not Jennie the mannequin) and washed my hands of the whole process.  It’s not that I didn’t LOVE vintage or having vintage or making sure others had great vintage, I was just too darn busy with all the other aspects of my life and selling as a second job is a full time job! SOOO as I mentioned I got rid of all the things I needed to sell… and then it happened.  I happened upon the mother of all auctions.  Auctions for me have been a great way to obtain treasures at a low price and I just clean the items up and either keep or resell and so I just so happen to stumble upon this auction in June that to be honest has to be one of the freakiest finds ever.
