Happy Thanksgiving

Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.

Les and I are going out as we need all the time we can to get ready for our final antiques show of 2010. All in all in has been a good year for us at our shows. Many of the shows we have been doing 3 to 4 years and now we have a following (Antique Groupies) which is the best. Nothing like return customers, even if they just stop by your booth to say Hi. Our show this weekend is the 41st Annual Show & Sale @ Hunterdon Central Field House, 84 Rt.31, Flemington, NJ. Sat 9:00 to 4:00, Sun. 10:00 to 3:00.

Looking forward to seeing some of our good friends from NJ who will be stopping by.

Can't Last Forever

The beautiful days that we have been having here in PA are what can't last forever. So, this morning (late morning I should say) after I returned from the grocery store, outside I went. I decided to run the lawnmower one more time, actually to run the gas out before its stored for the Winter. But, before I could do that I needed to move all the garden art. Benches, boxes, wagons, you name it, it's out there. Someone should keep an eye out on me when I'm at a auction, way too much "stuff" comes home with me. LOL!! So, after running the lawnmower out of gas, which happened to be right in the middle of the front lawn I needed to fill it with some more gas, but I was smart and only added a small amount. It is amazing though how far a little bit of gas goes. But, the lawn is mowed and "stuff" is piled in the rear of the yard waiting to be put away. And I feel good, weather is beautiful outside, and I was able to get things done. And besides I didn't want to do all the tasks waiting for me inside!!

One Down, One To Go

Antiques Show that is. This past weekend we were in Allentown, Pa @ Ag-Hall annex for Antiques in the Lehigh Valley. It was a so so show for us. What we would call a fair crowd, but not too many buyers. Therefore, we came home with just about the same amount that we took. But, in all honesty this has been our first off show for 2010, so we can't complain too much. I will post our next upcoming show in a few days. Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween, now to get ready for turkey day!! But, first gotta knock off some of the candy.

Fall Veggies

We are having some warm weather here in the Lehigh Valley (PA) and my neighbor stopped over yesterday to give us some of the bounty that he had collected from his garden. The tomatoes & sweet peppers are from our garden, the rest was from the neighbors. I took the picture with my new Blackberry, I just love that phone!! Hope everyone is have a great evening.

What Will The Room Become

Many of you know that Les & I have a antiques business. Most (and I do mean most) of our inventory is stored on our property. Two sheds and inside of our house. In our home we have what I'm guessing would be called a Living Room. It has a door to the outside (our front yard) a large window facing our front yard, two side windows that look out onto our Mud Porch, a doorway to the Kitchen, Family Room and my home office. The stairs also come down into this room and there is a door to a very, very small closet (original bathroom). This is the room where the pieces of furniture that go to shows with us get deposited. This room also has my 45" loom in it, spinning wheels (one is for sale), etc. We have never used this room as a LR and now we are think that we should set it up more like a Antique Shop. The idea is growing on me. When I can I will post before and after pictures. Stay Tuned.

Getting The Ducks Ready For Winter

With the beautiful weather we are having today I decided it was time to clean out the duck pens. So, early this morning "The Girls" went outside. They are slightly younger then the boys and can get around quite good. DD aka Danger Duck has been lame for quite sometime now and I decided that he and our other boy would not venture out. The pens were not that bad, considering they have not been cleaned out for quite sometime. It's not a easy task when you are trying to clean around two ducks who need to see what you are doing. But, they are all done and fresh straw is now in place. This will probably the last time they will get cleaned out this year, but when the ducks don't go out every day and don't eat or drink in the pens, they really stay quite clean. There was a time when I had my dozen or so ducks that the pens were cleaned every weekend!! But no more, I have learned alot since those days. My fun will begin in a little while when I try and get the girls back in. But for now they are enjoying their pond and just maybe they will wear themselves out and want to head in to the Duck Hilton tonite. I have posted a new header picture, Fall at Ginnysyard. Enjoy your day!!
