If you do know me already it\u2019s probably from Estate Sales, so as my first \u201cpost\u201d I\u2019ll tell you, briefly, how I got started in the Estate Sale Business. I went to Baylor and met my husband the first day of school.\u00a0 We got married a week after our Junior year was over. I\u2019d graduated early and he skipped his Senior year and went straight to Baylor Law School. We were young, poor and happy. We lived in a HUD Housing Project during law school while I supported us working at the Power Company as a secretary. My degree was in Fashion Merchandising, but Waco wasn\u2019t exactly a fashion Mecca in the 80\u2019s!<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/Jv5S-iI0otDVn1iBJLOIbVXO6ABUoBXc9DwK-nMXtlX0zE14kp9pmTzb8Il1QgDQrOI07xj75zdTkTtN-Vse2MPDT3Vb27oyow_h6RsPDmhy5_kskRyz2Dim2S_TI6oFHymm-cBO\" width=\"624\" height=\"468\" \/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After Bill finished Law School, we moved to Houston for his first job. I went back to school to get an Interior Design Degree. Soon, we bought our first house. My next door neighbor was in her 80\u2019s and had done Estate Sales in Houston for 50 years. I\u2019d grown up going to Estate Sales with my Mother and Grandmother and I was fascinated by my neighbor\u2019s business.\u00a0 She was too old to do the heavy lifting, so she asked me to help her. I was hooked. I loved every minute of what she did and I wanted to follow in her footsteps.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We moved back to Dallas in 1985. A friend worked in the trust department of Preston State Bank. She asked me if I did Estate Sales. My answer was, \u201cOf course I do\u201d. I will be forever grateful to her for giving me my first sale in a small apartment in an \u201ciffy\u201d part of town. I had no idea what I was doing, but I was willing to learn. My Mother and I did all the work ourselves.\u00a0 One sale led to another and \u201cThe Empire Was Born\u201d. Ha! I just wish it had been that easy.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are hundreds of stories I can tell you about the craziness of the last 36 years in this amazing business. Unbelievable things that have happened in my life. Travel to some of the most exotic places in the world. Cooking great food. Family life. Decorating. Let me know what you want to read about, talk about and know. I\u2019ll do my best to entertain you!<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/O_2z4XZQFhejYcj7EwE5prlAa5kK3UE4lMqCY_CY8Vk9oxhtlGKXkM1pN3uZnfJVsiAQXkizwAp-Y2Ef4B8_RGgXh6EBLT7YuSRRPSqoOf5hcauCofwbEPqMK_XmHFO63FDuIgdZ\" width=\"624\" height=\"468\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21c179d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"21c179d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Follow on Social Media!<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-de4ed8e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"de4ed8e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-588ffe4\" data-id=\"588ffe4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d0477b elementor-shape-rounded elementor-grid-0 e-grid-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-social-icons\" data-id=\"5d0477b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"social-icons.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-social-icons-wrapper elementor-grid\" role=\"list\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-grid-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-icon elementor-social-icon elementor-social-icon-facebook elementor-animation-grow elementor-repeater-item-f3167be\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/janellesjournal\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Facebook<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fab fa-facebook\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-grid-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-icon elementor-social-icon elementor-social-icon-instagram elementor-animation-grow elementor-repeater-item-d6fa1ca\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/janellestonejournal\/?igshid=4syc7b8w9gju\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Instagram<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fab fa-instagram\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-grid-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-icon elementor-social-icon elementor-social-icon-pinterest elementor-animation-grow elementor-repeater-item-be4ec0f\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/Janellestonejournal\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Pinterest<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fab fa-pinterest\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to my new endeavor&#8230;a Blog about Estate Sales, decorating, travel, family, food &amp; life!\u00a0 It\u2019s called Janelle\u2019s Journal.
