My blogger friends and I who are also vintage vendors have a secret gypsy life. Yes, hidden behind all those perfectly-styled rooms we post, we have hidden inventory. You know that before and after dresser that was such a find and so beautiful after its update with paint and new knobs? Well, in a secret stash is a stack of many more dressers, chairs, tables, and accessories, all with what we're sure have hidden potential. Yes, we've filled our basements, overtaken our garages and filled every nook, cranny and flat surface with our projects (hoard). Pretty normal huh.
But we love it and could never give it up.

I was thinking of this as I power washed some shutters in my driveway and leaned them against my truck to dry. What do the neighbors have to say? I don't know and I try to stay hidden. In fact, I park my truck behind the garage out of sight. I've never shared my truck before, but my kids call it the beast. I've had it for many years and its my main hauling means for all my finds. It also has moved kids back and forth to college and apartments and hauled yard waste to the dump. It has over 100,000 miles and some rust spots. One of them is growing on the side. There's another rust spot forming in the floor board at the back corner, and if it rains too hard, water sometimes leaks inside. Some of these injuries are due to things like lamp posts and fire hydrants
