What's Been Going On?

So..... What's been going on at Hot House Market?

We are sooo excited about our new store!!!
SUPER excited because~ OMG~ we currently look like hoarders!
We have most definitely outgrown working out of our home...
I can't wait to move into our space!

However, our next show is the Brooklyn Flea.

THE FIRST OUTDOOR BROOKLYN FLEA OF 2012!!!
Yeah Baby :)

So, while our neighbors hosted a St.Patty's Day party,
we spent the day packing up Trucky
and cleaning up a lot of the things that will be coming with us to New York.

We are bringing tons of great stuff :)

Last Night's Auction and Our BIG News!

I'm always reluctant to show everyone what goes on in our life...

I learned the hard way~ NOT to put your personal info 

(home phone, address, place of employment, husband's name) 

out there for the public to see~ 

for example...on your Facebook page :(

So, that's why it's usually "all about business" on our blog.

However,

I'm starting to feel like my old self again... 

So~

I am going to try to open up a bit more :)

 

Thursday night is "Auction Night" in Rossville, IN, 

one of our favorite little towns near Lafayette.

 

Lots of the locals show up at the auction just to have "supper" and to visit~ seriously :)

 

 

So, last night we put on our mud/rain boots and headed out the door.

 

If you don't want to eat coney dogs, tenderloins, nachos with nasty low grade processed cheese, or (insert bad for you fried food here) for dinner... the only dining option in Rossville is Subway.

Some of our current tins for sale :)

I really wanted to go to the auction because they had a TON of old tins up for sale~ along with a lot of other cool stuff... old crates, silverplated silverware, vintage furniture.

 

So...What did we come home with????

 

NOTHING!

 

But, that's how auctions work~ 

sometimes the prices are great and we come home with a ton of great stuff~ 

and sometimes we get na-da :(

Oh well, maybe next time...

For now, we wanted to share our BIG NEWS with you...

Hot House Market will be here soon!

We are opening up a real brick and mortar store!  Here in Lafayette, Indiana! 

Our goal is to be open June 1st!  WE ARE SOOOO EXCITED!

The Most Awesome Thing EVER!

Ok~ so... 

this past weekend Douglas and I took a little trip up to Chicago 

to make some deliveries and to meet up with some friends.

Along the way~ we hit up just about every thrift store in Northwest Indiana!  

Whew!

and... we ended up with a car load of super cool stuff.

(of which~ I have not had time to photograph yet~ sorry)

It was pretty awesome~ especially since it was 50% off day at Goodwill!

SCORE!

Douglas is really into typewriters right now~
so we picked these up :)

The pink one is my FAV!  

The red one already sold!

But the others are for sale right now in our eBay Store.

When I posted a pic of the pink Royal typewriter on my Facebook page..

My friend Brian posted a link to 

THE MOST AWESOME THING EVER!

I won't go into detail...

but basically there's a kit you can buy to turn your manual typewriter into a computer keyboard!

Click on the link HERE to read the story and to purchase the kit.

I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did!

Thanks for sharing Brian!

(Hopefully pics of our epic thrifting trip to come soon!)

HHM's FAV Beauty Products

I don't use many beauty products.... even though I should :)

But, I thought I would share a couple of REALLY AWESOME products with you...

First up~ Balm of Gilead~ an incredible Organically Crafted Face & Body Moisturizer from Australian Scent.

This moisturizer ROCKS!
It costs $38 for a 3.8oz bottle~ but it's totally worth it. 

 Great for all skin types, this balm makes my skin feel amazing!

Next up~ Dr. Teal's Foaming Bath and Village Naturals Therapy Foaming Bath Oil & Body Wash.

Both of these items are FABULOUS! 

Not only can you pick them up at WALMART for around $5 each~ yes... WALMART.

But, they both Smell soooooo good~ and do just what they claim to do!

Lastly~ Nostalgia Organics Soaps.

 

SUPER CUTE packaging + natural, great smelling soaps = AWESOME!

 

Mud Pie is my Favorite :)

<3 LOVE <3

These soaps are great for men, women and kids~

They're also long lasting and rinse cleanly off your skin.

 

 

Cute New Stuff

We have some cute new stuff in our eBay Store right now :)

 Hot House Market <3s Pillows!

Lots of Vintage Train Cases & Polaroids too!

Head on over to our store NOW to check out our new stuff!
