You might be wondering how I came up with Slushy Girl Boutique. Let's just say I am a lover of Cheerwine slushies. I work at an auction every week and the auctioneer's wife and I share the same name. So, to avoid confusion, my better half started calling me Slushy. You may also be wondering what Cheerwine is. It is the most fabulous NC soda ever! You should try it!

About me....I am a antique dealing writer of poetry and nonfiction. I recently left my family home on the lake to move to the country with my husband and our new baby boy, Eli.

I guess you could say this stuff is in my blood. I have been attending auctions and fiddling with antiques all my life. I bid on my first item at an auction--a doctor's bancruptcy sale--on my 13th birthday. It was an antique Austrian figure of two fighting horses. There was a fierce bidding war with an old lady. I was victorious! The horses are even more beautiful today.

So I guess one could say that I sell on eBay for selfish reasons. I love to go to auctions, love to bid, and love to win even more. It is a blast finding cool old things, and newer ones, for my customers. And along the way, of course, I find a few (few...ha!) things I just can't part with.

Thanks for stopping by!
