hello, fleas!
i am now working on my blog for the second time!  YAY!  i feel so blessed to be able to finally understand some of the "blog" stuff i didn't understand before (thank you, mr. flea)!  although i am not posting what i really want to yet... photos, travel journals, projects, etc., i know that preparing and taking things one day at a time is how i need to approach this very new and oh, so exciting adventure!

anyhoo... i am really and truly excited about this blog!  i am excited to watch it grow... take off and fly!  I'm dreaming big... i mean B-I-G!  so, i thought i'd share not only the end product, but also the process with all of you.

any journalist will tell you, the best stories answer the 5 W's... who? what? where? when? and why? (yes, i know about the 1 H (how), but i'm ignoring him!)  although this blog is not an adventure in journalism, i still feel it warranted me answering the 5 W's simply for the fact that i need clarity and direction!  so... here is a list of the infamous 5 W's for "a vintage flea"... see what you think...


who is "a vintage flea"?
a truly blessed, 45 year old chick... wife to my hometown honey (mr. flea) and lucky mom to my two BEAUTIFUL children... former middle school teacher... lover of dean martin... coffee... andy warhol... antiquing... NYC... all things christmas... painting... vintage paper... the beach... charleston, sc... my welsh corgi... bread & cheese... getting packages from ebay... napa valley... singing REALLY loud in my car... crafting... moe's chips and queso... my persian cat... janis joplin... all things ITALIAN... and our blessed Lord and Saviour!


who should read "a vintage flea"?
anyone who loves things old, is into arts and crafts... antiquing... booth renting... recycling & repurposing.  it helps to be sentimental and maybe even (at times) a little mental!


what is "a vintage flea"?
a blog where one can relax with some great tunes playing (dean martin for me!), a cup of coffee (cream only) or maybe even a glass of wine (pinot grigio, if you please!) in order relive the past, reminisce, get a few ideas here and there and hopefully get energized for a new day or de-stress after a very long one!

where is "a vintage flea"?
it's a heavenly place and state of mind... a creative outlet, a place to find like minded people in a very busy and crazy world! in reality, however, i blog from my home in the beautiful state of georgia although my heart and soul remain in my home state of new jersey!

when is "a vintage flea"?
hopefully coming to you "live" everyday, but in reality... (insert sigh here)... small steps, so i'll blog whenever i get a chance!


why "a vintage flea"?
because it's high time i quit just talking about what i want to do, how i want a blog, how i want an "etsy" store... "blah, blah blah" and about time i actually DO IT!

there you have it... the 5 W's!  what do you think... wanna join the fun?

until next time...have a vintagefully blessed day!

ciao...
