This box took 37 minutes to pack 😅 I don’t often sell big items, because of how much shipping material it takes, but this was too good not to bring to whatnot! 🕊️

As someone who spent months hosting shows with only 5–10 people in the room and little to no following, I still can’t believe what happened in my show last Saturday. In that one hour, I hit so many personal goals for my business, and I am still completely over the moon about it.

Moments like these remind me just how far this journey has come. While most days I am a one-woman show, sourcing inventory, loading shelves, hosting live sales, packing orders, and handling all the behind-the-scenes work, I could never do this alone.

My family plays such a huge role in making this possible. They help watch Marleigh while I source, send me photos when they spot vintage treasures out in the wild, and constantly encourage me along the way. For this particular show, my parents and husband were absolutely incredible. The amount of preparation that goes into a show is something most people never see. Whether it’s a 30-minute show or a 4-hour show, there is so much work behind the scenes.

I also owe a huge thank you to Jens Cozy Cottage and Lucia Curcio for inviting me to be part of this train. What an honor it was to share the stage with so many amazing sellers. ❤️

Thank you to every single person who has supported The Darling Dove Co. from the beginning. Whether you’ve been here since the days of 5 viewers or just joined recently, I appreciate you more than you know. ✨🕊️

IT IS TIME!! ✨🕊️

I have never had this many items on my shelves at once , this is officially a record show for me!

Over the last month, I have spent countless hours sourcing, cleaning, researching, and hand-picking every single piece you’ll see. I truly poured my heart into this collection.

My hope is that each item finds the perfect home and brings someone as much joy as it brought me finding it.

Join me on June 20th at 1 PM Central for the Vintage Whatnot Takeover! I cannot wait to spend the afternoon with all of you and see these treasures head off to their new homes.

See you there, Darlings! ✨

Today was one of the most exhausting sourcing days I’ve ever had.

I left the house at 8:00 this morning, and as I’m typing this, it’s almost 5:30 PM. I’m still 2½ hours from home. I’ve driven over 300 miles, stopped at 8 different stores, and after a full day of hunting, I only have 11 items in the back of my car to show for it.

Unfortunately, days like this happen more often than people realize.

When you tell someone you’re a reseller, it can sound easy, or like a fun little side gig. But sourcing for both an online store and a vintage booth is a 7-day-a-week commitment. There are long drives, empty-handed stops, countless hours spent searching, and plenty of days where the “big wins” just don’t happen.

Today, I’m tired. I’m a little defeated. And honestly, I’m ready to get home, kiss my baby, spend a quiet evening with my husband, and crawl into bed.

But tomorrow, I’ll get up and do it again.

Because sometimes the treasure hunt isn’t glamorous, but building a dream rarely is. ❤️
