My restless, roaming spirit has called.
“Traveling is like flirting with life. It’s like saying, I would love to stay and love, but I have to go; this is my situation” Lisa St. Aubin de Teran
The Coop is currently at an all time low in the junk department. While I love pouring over beautiful catalogs, ordering from a catalog pales in comparison to the joy I experience junking, and meeting up with my friends who deal in the coolest junque! “Chief Junker” is my favorite hat that I wear at The Coop. Returning to The Coop with a trailer load satisfies my restless, roaming spirit with adventure. I hate to leave my beloved Burton, but I have to Fly The Coop. This is my situation.
The Coop will be closed January 14th – 23rd
Jeff and I are answering the call with a road trip to Ohio. Armed with audio books and a journal for my crazy ideas, we’ll hit the road next week. The hours on the road often feel endless. If I’m lucky, we’ll stop at a few interesting places on the way.
I know once we make it to our destination I’ll have plenty of treasures to pick from. I have an idea of what I’m looking for, but am always open to the unexpected. On our last trip Jeff bought a stack of eight foot church pews (the seats and backs, without the ends) from our friend Ken. I wasn’t 100% sold on the idea. They took up a lot of room on our trailer. There were enough ends to make four pews. Jeff cut the eight foot pews into four foot sections and added a galvanized detail to the ends. The finished product turned out fantastic. The owners of The Grand Texana saw the pews Jeff crafted and commissioned him to make eighteen short pews out of the remaining stack of eight foot pews. I shared this story with Ken. He laughed and reminded me, “Tiffany you weren’t even 40% on those pews.” Lesson learned. Jeff and I will never question each other’s wisdom or sanity when junking.
I am on the hunt for specific treasures for a few of our customers. I enjoy the satisfaction of finding the perfect piece and their delight when it is delivered. Email me what you are looking for at eckhardt.tiffany@gmail.com if you are interested in this service.
Remember to stayed tuned to the Flown The Coop Facebook Page and Instagram account @2FlownTheCoop! We’ll share our adventure on these two platforms.
