I grew up with my Mom having a love of Antiques and being a big collector. When I was little my parents would sell each weekend at the Flea Markets and Swap Meets in Ca. My brother and I were very little so we spent most days sitting under the tables playing while are parents would sell just about anything! We had the opportunity to go to the Olympics and the Goodwill Games selling pins! Pins are a huge business at any Olympics and my parents would make and sell them, so we were able to go and learn the pin Trading world! The pin trading world is very interesting and quite crazy at times! This began my love for buying, selling, and trading!! My parents ran many small businesses and owned a gift shop while growing up so it was only natural for me to go into Retail Management after High School. I worked in Retail for many years before I found the love of Vintage and Junk Restoration!When I finally got my first dig, I was hooked! I love to restore and re purpose anything Vintage and funky! I am drawn to other people’s Junk or what I call Treasure’s!!!
I have a love for anything vintage, rusty, or chippy !I love going Junkin or Pickin!
We go anywhere and everywhere to find that special piece that has been lost &
forgotten and we try to bring it back to life~ We love to re purpose our finds into
something new that you can see as that special treasure you just have to have! We also take down old barns and re purpose all of the wood into new furniture pieces! We do custom orders for windows, door shelves, furniture pieces, hall trees, lighting, and much much more! My Mom also was so creative and talented that I got some of her craftiness to rub off on me! My husband and partner in crime has been blessed with the carpenter talent! He can build anything and everything, so we make a great team when it comes to this business! I am the dreamer and he is the curator and he can make my crazy ideas and dreams into one of a kind pieces! I am truly blessed to have a partner that not only supports me in my dreams but also walks with me in seeing them become reality! I have a strong Faith in God and I believe he has led me down this path, so now it is time to see where this journey will take us! I named my business Pickin Daisies because I spent most days as a kid picking Daisies and wildflowers in the Fields and Green Belt behind my house. My friends and I use to pick them and then go around our neighborhood to sell them. So now I find it fitting for my new little business! We started doing shows around 5 years ago and then this last year we decided to put our stuff in a shop in Spokane WA called Paint in my Hair. We love this shop and the owners that run this shop are amazing! We have continued to do many shows thru out the year and also take on custom orders. We also just launched our Etsy store in August! https://www.Etsy.com/shop/PickinDaisiesLove. You can also follow us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/PickinDaisies. I am not sure where this journey will take us but, I am excited for the ride! Thanks for taking the time to read this and follow us on our journey!
