Everybody is always like, where do you find skulls? Where things with skulls live (and die), obviously. If you're into bones a walk in the woods is almost always fruitful. And the more things you know about in the woods, like foods and medicinals, the more reason you have to be out there in the first place. It's gotten to where I never leave the woods without having gained something. Whether it be something physical, a cool photo, or something intangible and indescribable. It's always a worth while experience. #inthewoods #getoutside #skull #creepy #bones #foraging #deadthings #saturday #vultureculture https://www.instagram.com/p/BnwKq1BF7TI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=prnuvxw16s8f

We are looking to shift towards doing more shows since the Youngstown Flea has been phenomenal for us, (we're thinking we'll add in the Mission Night Market). And we are currently working on a super exciting project that we're itching to fill you in on so stay tuned over the coming weeks!! To better allocate our time we'll be dropping Thursdays, our other hours will remain the same. We're sorry for any inconvenience this may create for you, but rest assured the coming changes will be worth it! #newhours #changes #getready #goingthroughchanges #switchitup #heregoes #flowers #newnew #byethursday

I feel like dreary days like this one would be perfect to sit and write your friends letters. But, we don't do that anymore, we just message each other Spongebob memes. #signofthetimes #wedontwritelettersanymore #vintage #nostalgic #handwritten #letters #notes #spongebobmemesarethebest

Okay I know a second day of Spring snow storm isn't exactly what anyone was hoping for, but don't let it get you down. Look at these adorable little tomato plants from @3maplesonmarket ! These and many other plants will be available at our Spring Open House April 28th. It might be snowing outside, but inside I'm happily planning out my garden, which could not be complete without some non GMO heirloom tomatoes from @3maplesonmarket !

It wouldn't be a Monday without printing 150 flyers with the wrong date 🤦‍♀️. Anyhow, I'm using this photo either way along with the tacky correction because I refuse to let Monday win! . Our Spring Open House with @3maplesonmarket is April 28th. Along with fun Spring decor 3 Maples on Market will have their heirloom non-gmo vegetables and herbs available! Follow them for updates about pre ordering plants, that way you can lock down some of the rarest varieties before they sell out! #3maplesonmarket #springopenhouse #heirloomplants #nongmo #naturallygrown #tomatoplants #gardening #preorder

We're finally getting back to buying! I just keep reminding myself that this cold spell is not going to last, spring is basically here, and garage sales, Church sales, auctions, flea markets- they're all picking back up! It's about time! #backatit #goodbyewinter #springbuying #vintage #antiques #oddities

Check out this sassy lady! There's something about dress forms, I just enjoy their quirky personalities. I'm sure they have some amazing stories if they could talk. #vintage #olddressform #character #vintageluggage #antiques #oddities #newstuffcoming #auctionseason

This stunning piece is somehow still here, but it has received a lot of attention lately. I get the feeling it's going to find a home this month. #americanpaintcompany #springdecor #sunshine #springcountdown #8days #vintage #antiques

I know the weather isn't suggesting it, but we are thinking Spring! We'll be getting up details soon about our spring open house with @3maplesonmarket who will have their incredible array of rare and heirloom vegetables and basils! #thinkspring #springcountdown #springplantsale #springopenhouse #getready #lamb #nest #spring #springdecor

Yep. It's that windy. A corner busted off the sign and we won't be able to fix it until tomorrow (hopefully?) #shithappens #inlikealion #hellomarch #marchwindsblow #yesweareopen

It's the first day of our huge Spring Cleaning Sale! Every single thing is at least 20% off! We have a whole 50% off room, even a dollar table! Never have we had a sale this big, and we'll probably never have another one like it so don't miss out. Today and tomorrow only. #sale #springcleaning #youmightbeahoarderif #getitgone #cleanoutsale #makingroomfornewstuff #itsonlyrain

You know that *really* messy back room? We're cleaning it out! And, since we basically have nowhere to put the stuff we're taking out of there, and are basically full to the max, we're having a store-wide sale with EVERYTHING 20% - 50% off!!! We've literally never had a sale like this before, and won't likely have another this big again so don't miss out!! This Friday 10 to 6 and Saturday 12 to 5 only!! #storewidesale #20to50percentoff #springcleaning #getridofit #purging #freshstart #discounts #vintage #antiques #oddities
