Lucky No. 1

Hello Lucky Junkers!

Wow...the journey to design and publish my blog has been met with many challenges...but I made it.  Woo Hoo!  I truly do believe that obstacles in life make you stronger...and that a lot of patience goes a long way!

The steps & events on my journey included:

  • Losing my 11-year job earlier this year with a family owned and operated health care company
  • Having the aha moment with my husband that this WAS the time to embark on our passion the love of vintage
  • Take ANY small business classes and social media classes that I could find through our local library and community college
  • Starting the search for a Lucky Junk location (besides our driveway & garden...which has been the site of many Vintage Yard Sales...more to come on these in my next post)

I am SO excited to start this next part of the journey with all of you...and I look forward to your comments and sharing our love of vintage, life and as one of my Small Business instructors (now friend) shared, "being authentic"!

Vintage Love,
Janet

Happy Spring!
