THANKS... GIVING! 01/27/2012
Yes, giving thanks for your loved ones on Valentine's Day is our prayer for you and ourselves. What better time to let the most important people in our lives know how much they mean to us, not only on Valentine's Day, but every day! Life is short (realizing this as I grow older) and we have no guarantee on the length of our days here on earth. A friend of 46 years is battling cancer and is fighting for her life... however, she is also trusting God to carry her on this journey. Is our faith that strong? I pray it is! Please pray that she continues and does well with her treatments. 
Happy Valentine's Day!
The space inside Palmetto Peddler has undergone some changes... downsized to one space F1A. Here are current photos of available items. If you find something you want, shoot me an email and I will put it on hold for you! (critch2@gmail.com).          Thanks for stopping in... check back often to see new "old" items... Be Blessed today and every day... Pamlea Add Comment We have shared together the blessings of God. Philippians 1:7 TLB I was fortunate to attend the “Becoming 2011 – Creative, Purposeful, Frugal” Conference August 12 and 13 near Ashville, NC at Ridgecrest Conference Center. The speakers were Jenny Martin of SouthernSavers.com; Jen Schmidt of Balancing Beauty and Bedlam; The Nester; Angela Statzer of Button Bird Designs; and, Rachel Van Erden, mother of eleven. The conference was well planned and offered an abundance of information in three areas to Becoming our best. The first area: “Becoming Creative” offered sessions 1 and 5, “The Philosophy of a Home” with the Nester; sessions 2 and 5, “Find, Create, Redo” with Angela; session 3, “Real Decorating for Real Women with Real Budgets” with The Nester; and session 4, “Creative Inspiration and Easy Trash to Treasure Projects” with Angela. The second area: “Becoming Purposeful” offered sessions 2 and 3, “Creating Purposeful Moments in our Mothering: Casting a Long Term Vision” with Rachel; sessions 1 and 5, “Live the 80% off Lifestyle and Love It!” with Jen. The third area: “Becoming Frugal” offered session 1, “The Art of Saving on Groceries” with Jenny; session 4, “Putting it All Together: The Important Stuff” with Jen; session 2, “Playing the Drugstore Game” with Jenny; and session 4, “Tricks and Tips to Saving Money Online” with Jenny. As you can see there were five sessions throughout the day with several topics offered more than once, even then it was impossible to attend all eleven presentations. A suggestion for next year’s conference September, 20212 at Ridgecrest in NC – have handouts for each presentation at the Registration table that allows all attendees to have all the wonderful information from each topic and helps attention to remain a speaker and not on note taking! Moreover, all participating will feel they received full value for the conference. The sponsors: Savings.com, coinstar, and Day Springs’ Blessings Unlimited provided an assortment of great items in a beautiful canvas tote from Blessings Unlimited. Also, drawings for cash prizes; 10 Kits with DVD, book, online access for ; and 15 items from Blessings Unlimited. All winners were smiling as they collected their prizes! I was not familiar with the sponsors before the conference; however, I am a firm supporter of all three NOW. The conference was at Ridgecrest Conference Center, a secluded tranquil retreat center nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Ashville, NC. It was peaceful with rocking chairs, cool breezes, and a view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. A wonderful time to coupon, organize binders, learn home décor tricks, savings tips, and meet new friends! The food served by the dining hall was excellent – served cafeteria style with round dining tables to chat easily with new friends. The time passed quickly and the conference ended with dessert, a delicious cheesecake. Saying good-bye to new friends is hard, but taking the memories and contact information was a blessing! Mark your calendar for “Becoming 2012” September 21-22, 2012, Ridgecrest Conference Center, Ashville, NC. See you there! “By the grace of God, I am what I am.” 1 Corinthians 15:10 KJV "From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another." John 1:16 On February 2, 2011 I stopped by a recently opened business in Florence, SC - a large manufacturing building converted to an inside, climate controlled Antique Mall featuring rentable space for individual vendors on a month to month lease.. The new Antique Mall aptly called, “Palmetto Peddlers" features antiques, collectibles, vintage, art, and everything in-between! At present, approximately 170 vendors have space in the 30,000 sq. ft. building. Open floor space is available in several sizes: 10x10, 10x11, areas enclosed on three sides and rooms are offered. Each vendor is issued a dealer number. The vendor prices each item, tags it with the dealer number, a brief description and the price. Palmetto Peddlers carries the business license, supplies a monthly accounting to each vendor, collects payment for items sold including tax at the front counter, and helps load large items for customers. If a sold item disrupts the vendor's space, the staff calls the vendor to alert them to restock, rearrange, and/or straighten their area... Everyday at Palmetto Peddlers is new and different. Things find new homes and new merchandise arrives daily. Palmetto Peddlers is located at 2295 Hoffmeyer Road, Florence, SC. It is open Monday through Saturday, 10 AM to 6 PM and Sunday, 1:30 PM to 6 PM. On February 2, it felt like home - a home for my 'things'. Some might call me a 'hoarder' or 'pack rat'. I prefer to be called a ‘collector of the unusual’ whether antiques, vintage items like "Fiesta Ware", collectibles, 60-70-80's clothing, furniture, carnival glass, crystal, china, silver or original art by ALP Designs. It answered a prayer for a safe place to share with others treasures found and the contents of two homes. Father's Day weekend is over. All items in space F-1A were discounted 25%. It will be good to enter Palmetto Peddlers and hear Jilian or Brandon say, "Hi, Pam, your space did well this weekend!” Hope your Father's Day weekend was a "Blessing,” as all things are, due to God's abundant grace. If you have not visited Palmetto Peddlers and space F-1A, you have no idea what you are missing! Pamela Space F-1A, "Blessings, Yours, Mine, Ours"         Hope you find everything you're looking for at Palmetto Peddlers, Hoffmeyer Road, Florence, SC New items! 05/05/2011
For anyone in the Pee Dee area of South Carolina, please stop in Palmetto Peddlers to see the new items in our space, F-1A. We've added all the pieces to the bedroom set - headboard, foot board, rails, night stand, dresser with mirror and chest. It looks really nice... a must see, if you are in need of a lovingly used full size bedroom set! Original Vintage Fiesta Ware is waiting on YOU! Easter was beautiful in SC. I hope it was equally as nice for YOU. In honor of Mother's Day, everything is 10% OFF until 6:00 PM on Sunday, May 8. This would be a great time to purchase that special gift for your mom, grandmother, or the special woman in your life. Palmetto Peddlers' Grand Opening ends today. If you have not been by and browsed, bought, and/or visited the many vendors selling their 'wares', make a conscious effort to check out Palmetto Peddlers in the near future!   May you enjoy today and be blessed! Pamela It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood... 04/09/2011
 we are not quite to this in coastal South Carolina, but getting there! At our house it is time for "Spring Cleaning" in a major way. "Blessings... Yours, Mine, Ours with Pamela C Poston", my space F-1A at Palmetto Peddlers on Hoffmeyer Road in Florence, SC opens April 15, 2011! It will feature antiques, art, collectibles, new and/or gently worn/ vintage clothes and accessories. Palmetto Peddlers is having their GRAND OPENING this weekend with Mark Walberg from the "Antiques Roadshow" making an appearance. A great place to visit and shop - go, now! Also, the Pee Dee Farmer's Market is having their Annual Flower and Plant Show with many vendors and varieties. A perfect day for planning, buying and planting your spring flowers and garden vegetables. "For everything there is a season... A time to plant and a time to harvest..." Ecclesiastes 3: 1a, 2b May God bless you as you use the gifts He has given you. Pamela First Post! 03/07/2011
