Cash & Cari Premiers Monday + HGTV Swag Giveaway!

The good folks at HGTV contacted me to let me know about the Monday, January 3rd premier of their new junking show, Cash & Cari. I took one look at the site and thought "Now HERE we go!" - this is much closer to what us online vintage dealers do than any of the other shows that are currently on TV. Finally!! Here is the brief synopsis:

Cash & Cari

Whether it's a vintage Chanel gown left behind in a disused dry cleaners, or a limited-edition pink vinyl copy of Michael Jackson's Thriller, or a Capo di Monte porcelain statuette, antiques dealer extraordinaire Cari Cucksey is always on the lookout for the undiscovered diamond in the rough. Cari travels the country to estate sales, flea markets, attics, garages and anywhere else that peaks her interest in search of obscure pieces to restore or flip for profit. Premieres Monday, January 3 at 10/9c on HGTV.

From the Scripps Network I found this bio of Cari:

Cucksey is the owner/operator of two businesses located near Detroit Michigan -- RePurpose Estate Services and her new retail RePurpose shop that sells antiques, items on consignment and her fabulous finds along with designer and vintage clothing and accessories. She has over 10 years experience as an estate liquidator.

Oh yeah. I think this might be good! :)
