You know, it's Saturday. The day we, as junkers, hit the garage sales. We dig through boxes and climb through garages and barns looking for that special "find". But, today, being under the influence of powerful drugs, I decided to skip out on any sales. And then an old buddy, who I had forwarded my blog to, called and we decided to meet up at Primitiques. She had never been, so I had to show off a little.
Kathie Butler. A little bit about Kathie. I met her several years ago when we were both dealers at an antique mall in Terrell. Let me tell you. Every single time I went into the mall, Kathie's booth was different. I dubbed her The Queen of Resets. She could move stuff around in that space like nobody's business and it always looked new and fresh and I wanted to buy from her!
Years later, we have gone in different directions and life has continued to happen. I have Primitiques and a man in my life. She has quit dealing in antiques and has shoved both daughters out the door to college.
As we sat in the store visiting, it occurred to me that Kathie could be my "find" for the day! She has been out of the business for just long enough to miss it like a body part. After discussing it with Kathie and Jeannie, my business partner, it was decided. Kathie is back in business!
New blood can be an exciting thing! Let's see...let me try to impress upon you what a coup this is. Kathie. Hmm. Besides being the Queen of Resets. She likes primitives, like I do. She actually works on stuff. I tend to buy and sell as is. She's not afraid of a paint brush or texture or fixing stuff. She is funny and full of life. She has an eye for what's happening and she can put vignettes together like there's no tomorrow. She has sold in antique malls, Buchanan's and Canton. She's worked with names like Mayron (http://www.uniqueuniquedesign.com/) and well, heck, I don't know who else. But, Mayron should impress you!
Kathie, I know you are reading this. Feel free to comment and fill in any blanks. Impress the masses! Bring 'em in!
I think Kathie is too busy shopping on her way home to be reading this. She is, after all, back in business!
And I did find a keeper today! Yee Haw!
