Here are some of the recent finds that are coming with me to the Lucketts Antique Market…     …horse show ribbons from 1957 & 1960…         …this petite paper cutter (it’s about 6″ square)…         ..this apparently came out of an old church…         …a hanging scale…     …and a bunch of film holders.  I’m excited about the idea I have for these.  (I hope it works!) In addition to pricing things for the antique market, I did some major cleaning in my house, bought a couple of dressers, and cleaned out some of the basement.  I’ve been wanting to tackle that basement for a while and I’m finally almost back to my full energy, so I got a good start on it.  There were piles of boxes and spilled Styrofoam peanuts everywhere, furniture that needed to go to the thrift

I’ve been working on some rewrites for my book for the past week, but I’ve also turned my attention to getting ready for the Lucketts Antique Market.  That means lots of shopping.  I’m always afraid I won’t find enough.  Given that I sold almost everything on the first day last year, I am even more stressed about it this year.  I want to have a lot of great stuff and I want to keep the prices reasonable. This is what I managed to come home with today…   I’m really excited about some of the stuff I found.  I have a crazy idea for some antique 5 x 7 film frames I found. Some other things in the haul are four alarm clocks, two type writers, two fans, two wooden totes, some ironstone, a display from an old church, a wooden vent from a 100 year old barn, a cool brass lamp,
