Sister Pickers

So is everyone watching the new show “Sister Pickers” on Lifetime? It’s two girls who’ve previously been on Extreme Home Makeover and have now opened their own store in LA. They travel all over looking through old barns, warehouses and industrial parks looking for junk to transform into treasures to sell in their store. The girls are in their 30′s, really funny, and totally lovable!
My mom, best friend and I have been taking trips to Arkansas, antiquing through the million antique shops and flea markets they have on what seems like every corner. We come home with jewelry, frames, quilts and other things we “need.” This past weekend we visited a “cottage sale” and managed to snag a light up halloween witch, antique rocker (in which we will turn into a masterpiece), an old (but good) kitchen apron and bottles, and a coffee table currently sitting in my living room. Yes, we love the things we come with, but the most fun is the drive and company we keep. Not to mention searching for these items can work up quite an appetite! We usually manage to slurp down some type of ice cream treat on the way home.
My husband says we are sister picker wanna-bes. I’ll take that as a compliment.
