Inventory

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 store, photo props and samples that have been hanging around too long…you get the idea.  It’s looking much better down there and I made room to start a good pile for Lucketts.

Speaking of Lucketts, I’m heading there tomorrow to drop off my latest milk paint dresser.  I’m also going to do some more shopping on the way down and perhaps the way back as well…

This post has been sitting in my drafts for weeks!  I know some of you must have been losing sleep because I left you hanging about the Lucketts Spring Market.  I will not torture you any longer.  Here’s how the afternoon of painting went back in May… After my triumphant

four things | seventy seven

This week started with the loss of power from a storm.  It wasn’t really the storm that knocked out the power, but the wall of wind that came right before the rain.  It took out trees, limbs, power poles, and made a general mess of our yard and pool.  Jeff
