So I guess “spark joy” is all the buzz for 2019

So during my January of cold recovery, I decided to binge watch Marie Kondo’s Tidying Up. My sister was worried that I got rid of everything in my house.
Well fear not, for the collectors of everything vintage, antique, modern, shabby, primitive and beyond still reigns supreme in the hearts and homes of the vendors at Diamond Antiques and Gifts.
The hostess of the show Tidying Up insists that if you hold something and it sparks joy, you should keep it. If it does not, thank whatever the object is before giving it a proper send off. That is a sweet thought.
Have you any idea how difficult this is for collectors? What does one do when they have 10,000 things that “spark joy”? Oh, I know, they put it all under one roof so that you can come and see all of these sparky things.
So, come and burn some time up by browsing around Diamond Antiques and Gifts. The ever changing inventory is always such a delightful sight to see!
The Stillroom Gift and Tea shop, located inside of Diamond Antiques and Gifts just received a giant order of tea today! New flavors are being added in addition to any of our sold out teas. Def hot tea weather and in a few days I see we will be putting ice cubes in it.
Hang in there, the days are flying by already. Soon it will be our Spring Open House!
Oh yeah!

Check out this video on YouTube:
Daniel Johnston has suffered from life- long mental illness. This song titled, A Little Story was used in a commercial last year for Apple. Most people are not familiar with him. We 💕 him. Check out his life story on wikipedia. Interesting read. A documentary was released in 2005 at Sundance Film Festival called The Devil and Daniel Johnston and follows his music career from when he worked at McDonald’s handing out his cassettes to how he managed to get himself on MTV in the shows infancy. It follows him as it reveals his struggle with severe bi- polar disorder. If you are from the beginning of the MTV generation, you will appreciate this documentary. Happy Birthday to him.
