First weekend of March

Good Evening All, We are gearing up for a busy weekend. We set-up at the Governor Wolf Historical Society today for our first antique show of the 2013 season. It was great to see many friends that we have not seen since last year. I will be my lonesome tomorrow as Les has a pick-up to do with one of the auctioneer's that we work for. But, I'm up for it as I will be surround by friends who are always eager to help out. Wish us luck! I already sold a cast iron Santa while we were setting up, so maybe that is a omen that we will have a good show.

Talk to you soon. Have a great night and weekend.

Another Passing

It is with a sad heart that I tell you my friends that Ginnysyard has lost another duck. She was 13 plus years old and my healthy one. Her sister stayed with her all day and is very lost without her this evening. We have lived here for 25 years and have had ducks and geese from day one. This does not get any easier :'(. I fear my last girl won't be with me very long. Sorry for the sad post but I knew you guys would understand.

Calm Before The Storm

Today we started the day with a bit of snow, then rain and then for hours nothing! But, the weather weenies still say it's coming.

Bird feeders are filled, ducks are tucked in for the night one cat is curled up on a fleece blanket (not too spoiled,lol) and the other cat has decided it is time to run amuck thru the house, yikes!!

Snow blower filled and ready to go, bath tub filled, wood waiting on the porch. New Country Living arrived today  :-).

We are ready, bring it on.

Have a wonderful evening friends. Stay safe and warm. Good thoughts being sent to friends in New England.

Tuesday Auction

The dusting of snow we received last evening won't be a problem for us getting to the auction today.  But, as I was gathering my stuff together I realized I did not show you what I got last week, jezzzz leave it to me. So here you go. All of it is smalls and I still need to take a few more pictures but this is a sampling of what I sometimes find at our weekly auction in Bally, PA. My favorite is the little kids boots! But I really like it all :-). Have a good day no matter what you are doing.

Auction Time

Yep, today is our Tuesday Auction, the day we work at yet another part-time job, we have many. Not that we are complaining :-), we both love the auction scene.

I have my eye on a few things that are coming up today, we will see how that develops :-).

Antique show is coming up in the beginning of March and we need "stuff". Some would say we have "stuff" but your new "stuff" always goes first. Happy :-) because we are selling, sad :-( because it is a two day show and we want people to come in our booth the second day!

Hope all is well with you my friends. Warmer weather today, but BIG RAIN is coming tomorrow, 1-3 inches!!! 

Take care, have a great day and I will be back soon.

OH Yeah!!!

If you remember back on Tuesday of this week Les and I were off to work at the weekly auction and I was going to look at what was being called a bakers rack. Well, we had a indication that it was not a bakers rack but in fact a wooden rack from a shoe factory. I have wanted one of these racks FOREVER, FOREVER I tell you. And low and behold guess what I got? You are right!!! I got the shoe rack. 

It is in pretty good shape, needs a bit of cleaning but it is solid and I paid a very fair price for it. We need to move some furniture around and send some to our booth at Weil Antique Center and some might even go to auction. But, that's okay because I got my rack and I LOVE it. 

Here are two pictures of it. Nothing on it yet, just a crock on the lower shelf, but you just wait until it is decked out :-).

Thanks for stopping by and have a great rest of the weekend. And don't forget to go out and see that Full Wolf Moon.

WINTER!!!!!!

Well, it feels like Winter has finally arrived. 14.5 degress with a wind chill of 1 this morning. Pond is frozen on the perimeter but the middle is fine. That is where the Canada Geese stayed all night. About 35 - 40 flew in late yesterday. They are sunning themselves on the hill side now, poor guys but they are probably warmer then me :-). 

Tuesdays are our work day at the auction house. Thank God we are inside!! Got my eye on what is being called a baker's rack, but I need to see what it looks like in person first.

Have a wonderful day and stay warm.

Till next time.
