Welcome To Pickin'Ease Otherwise Known As Adventures Of The Newbie Picker


Hi, my name is Jennifer Boyte and I am the owner of It's New To You. I buy collectibles, odds and ends, storage units, and really anything that interests me - then try to sell it for a profit. I am fairly new at this and still learning the ins and outs of the business, but I would love to take you along on the adventure.


I will share my ups (hope I have a lot of those) and my downs (so sad...) - but, I sure hope there is a chuckle or two along the way as well. If you are the type of person who slams on the brakes at the sight of a yardsale (they shouldn't have been on my tail end and YES I know I am #1 though typically I don't use that finger) then this is something you will enjoy. If you like dragging yourself out of bed at 5:00AM to have a garage sale and get a major thrill when you make $5 for that item you paid a quarter for - then you are in for some fun.


Welcome to SE Georgia and the people I meet along the way - cheer me on when I make a great find and commiserate with me when I make a baaaad purchase. By the way - I would love to hear from you and let me know how you are doing with YOUR picking. Maybe we can share some tips and ideas.


As the Fat Man use to say - Awaaaaay We Go :)

The More I Get The More I Find The Less I Know

I got a few items today...civil war pictures, a Victorian card, various bits of jewelry.  And, I have figured out that I know virtually nothing about any of these. LOL  Let me show you a couple of my finds:






They look to be pretty nice to me...but I just don't have a reference as to where to start researching.  I found a picture card by the same photographer but it was for a Civil War soldier and it was listed as military memorabilia (not quite the same as these pictures).  The card is absolutely beautiful (from 1909 - in German, mailed from Germany to the United States).  The ring has me completely perplexed.  There is a name in the lid - but I can't find a reference anywhere - don't even know if they are real pearls. LOL  So much to learn...better get to it!
