Flea Market

My husband and I started going to more auction,Probably 3 a week. We went their to buy used or new merchandise to resell ,at the flea markets. We didn't have enough money to open a store at this time. So we figured, if we can make enough money from reselling merchandise. We could open a small business some day. That is when we started going to more auctions,and setting up at flea makets
In the mean time,a friend of ours knew we wanted to open a small store.He asked us if we wanted to sell his electronics on consignment He already had a store where he had his electronics set up.All we had to do was show up. We thought about it for a while,then we decided we would try it for a while. It sure would give us a break from the flea markets,and we could maybe make more money by trying this.

Little Girl

When I was a little girl,I wanted to become a teacher. But by the time I was a teenager, I changed my mind.. I thought I'd like to become a hairdresser. So in 12th grade,I started training to become a  hairdresser. A couple of months later I
met this fellow I liked,so I stopped going to hairdressing school,to be with him .I graduated from High School and about a year later we got married.We rented a apartment,so we needed furniture . That is when my husband Charlie and I started going to the auctions. We both liked the idea of buying and selling things. With that in mind,we had to come up with a plan,because we were both working at different jobs. So we decided to quit our jobs and start a business ourselves.
