Have Fun with your Kindle Apps Free Fun !

I know I took a break, a nice long break from writing, but I'm back !  It's Tuesday so here's a tip :  start using those Kindle apps that are everywhere and read lots of books for free .  
I'm going to help you do this in just a few easy steps.

1.  If you don't own a Kindle, no worries.  The Kindle app is available on all the Apple products and now the Android products, also.  Yes, even your PC in case you don't use any electronic handheld device.  Just go to :  http://www.amazon.com and make your self an account.  Yes, they will ask for a credit card, go ahead and enter it but you will never use it, unless you want to and they  won't charge you for anything, unless you purchase something with a price.

2.  Now go to the App store for your device.  Search for KINDLE and there you have it, download the app and you know have the application on your device.  You get all the bells and whistles that you would get if you owned a Kindle.

3.  Free Books :  first of all there are literally 1,000s of classic you can get for free and you can download them to your Kindle app, whever you put it, phone, electronic tablet, PC.  You can search in Google for Free Kindle Books and you will find all sorts of places.

Here's My Favorite :  http://www.pixelofink.com

Sign up for their email newsletter that comes each day. 
Pixel of Ink will tell you which book is being offered for free that day and even what books are available for discounts. 
Some of the books are even in series and eventually you get the entire series.. for free.
Some of the books will be classics, other contemporary, some romance and on and on.

If you want Christian based literature, there is a section for that and if you want strictly Children's books, a section for that.

I've told my friends 2013 is the year I get everyone back to reading books.  Now I'm encouraging you.  Today I downloaded for Free : Rex in the City : A Rescue Dogs Tale of Saving a Relationship.

There are currently 13 books on my reader and I've yet to pay for any of them, all free and all books of my choice and taste.

So have some fun, do download an app and get to reading !

Mark Your Calendar

Here's My Favorite Find of the Day, Month, Year !  It's from a very unique shop on Etsy,
  Vintage Rescue Squad.
I've always wanted a way to know some of the major flea markets, trade markets, oh heck, any place that is junking and this calendar is the answer.
I've already ordered mine,  $20 and that includes the postage.  I can't wait to get it and start planning some road trips.

 

Once again the Christmas 50% off sale was a blast, we had fun seeing what everyone had been putting on their wish list for this annual event.   It's over and we have lots of boxing to do, but everything will mail before the week is over.  It was fun hitting the Top Ten on Etsy this week.  Thanks for your support.

 

This past year has been so much fun, we just can't wait to see what 2013 brings to all of us.  Make sure you join us on facebook : Salvagenation Vintage  and we will be seeing you on Etsy !

Hometown Hints for Shoppers

  Understandably, I have an online business, Salvagenation and I enjoy visiting with people from all over the world.  I really enjoy helping them find vintage items and sending them off to their new homes.  Some people find me because they are looking for vintage pieces they just can't find anywhere else, others because they shop through the web for most everything.  I have been fortunate to start this business and watch it grow.  I also have items to sell at my farmhouse.  Salvagenation has grown to two large storage rooms and a barn.  I greet my customers in my jeans and t-shirt, flip flops and usually my hair in 40 different directions.  If we are lucky, we get through our shopping spree without the cat jumping in the truck or a cow getting in a backwards glance.
   I am also a hometown girl, a hometown of only 800 people and the county seat of 25,000 people, just ten miles away.  I love my hometown and I love where I grew up, down the road.  I have friends from elementary school that now do my taxes, fix my car, represent me in legal matters. It is all very comforting.  I purchase groceries from a mom and pop store and when it isn't on a shelf, they order it for me.  I may pay a bit more but it's worth the service , the smiles and the friendship.
   With all this in mind, hopefully, each day this month, I can help you understand the value of shopping locally for those items that seem so easy to grab from the big box store.
    You have to understand I've never had a luxurious life and I'm quite comfortable in my own skin. So if I can't afford something, it isn't purchased or if I have limited funds I just purchase what is available at that price.  My friends call it a Simple life and I call it a Blessed Life.
     Get on the road to feeling good about where you live and what is offered in your home town.  Let me help you, share your thoughts.  Let's start with Day 1, today.

Shop Local : Hint Number 1
Stop buying fresh flowers at the Big Box Store just because it's easier. Go to your local florist, tell them, I just have X amount to spend on my flowers, will you please make me a bundle. I bet you will be surprised what your honesty and their kind hearts will do for a beautiful gift.
