We attend estate sales, visit antique stores and the occasional Sunday flea market. We love being outside and going from stall to stall talking with vendors and inspecting their wares at the flea market. People are friendly and happy after a long winter of snow and cold. We find odds and ends we can't live without and the occasional rare find that is offered to our customers.
But this year may be a bit different since gas prices across the U.S. are putting a pinch on traveling around. It can take the wind out of our shopping sails to know that we'll have to take a large portion of our 'spending' cash to put in the tank just to drive to our favorite shopping destinations. We know we are not alone in this dilemma. We'll carefully pick where to go this season and how much we are willing to spend when we get there. But, make no mistake, we will go because it's what we love to do.
We always have a "want" list of items we would love to see at the homestead. But rarely pass up a treasure that would be a good fit for our store. Customers send us pictures or descriptions of what they are searching for and that gets added to our list. We have been successful for many customers in finding items that they haven't been able to encounter near their home. Another aspect of the business that we love.
Feel free to contact us at Victoria’s Curio if you are looking for something specific that you are having trouble finding. We'll add it to our list and cross our fingers that we find it.
Happy Shopping!
Warm Regards,
Vicki Smith-Drysdale
