Estate Sale

Last Friday Les and I took a trip to New Jersey to attend an Estate Sale. Antiques were listed as one of the items and yes there were antiques, but many were too rich for this dealer to be able to turn around and make a buck. But, we did not leave empty handed. Many of the items in the pictures will go into our booth at Weil Antiques Center. and some just may be come part of my household, LOL. Hope everyone enjoys the weekend. We have a couple of events planned, one being that we have company arriving early next week, Whoa!! need to get this placed picked up a bit.

Where does the time go?

I just realized that I have been wanting to post for a week now. But,like Les posted on FB yesterday, he does not plan on leaving the house today because we have been going full tilt for 12 days now.Two Antique Shows two weeks apart, working three auctions two weeks apart and life in general has kept us on our toes to say the least. But, I had to show off my new purchase. I rarely shop at a antique show that I am set-up at. No time, don't want to spend the money, on and on it goes. But at our last show Les was asked by a long time friend and dealer to come look at a dry sink that he had. He came back and said you need to see this, I (Les) said he wouldn't really call it a dry sink, he thought more of a blanket chest. I LOVE blanket chests and have a few in our inventory that are not selling. But, off I went and fell in LOVE with this sweet little piece. Agreed on a very fair price and it was brought to our booth a short time later. Later on in the afternoon, our neighbor next to us at the show asked Les if he knew what I had bought. Les said, yeah a small blanket chest. Nope, I bought a commode chest, not really seen in the North much, more of a southern piece. Isn't it sweet. Thanks for stopping by, talk to you soon.

Happy June!

And since all this loveliness can not be Heaven. I know in my heart it is June.

Still Around

Hi Fellow Bloggers, It's been two weeks to the day that I posted. In all honesty I had nothing to say, LOL. Rainy weather had in a funky mood and at the same time my real job picked up. I work in new home construction and I am 3/4's of the way in finishing a townhouse. So, it's not like I have been sitting around, but just doing "stuff". I have been checking inon all of my many friends when I can and commenting as well. Hope everyone had a safe and happy Memorial Day Weekend. Les & I worked at a auction on Saturday and enjoyed sitting on our screened porch the rest of the weekend. Bright and early this morning we installed two a/c's, one in our bedroom and one in my office. Not like we needed them here in hot, hot Pennsylvania!! Well, still have some work to do before I call it a day. Talk to all of you soon.

Full Moon

Tonite is the Full Flower Moon, so named because blossoms were abundant everywhere at this time. Maybe, for some but not all. Here is PA we are locked into yet another wet and windy week. It doesn't look like we will see the Sun until late this week. My perfect excuse for not doing gardening, LOL. No, really I would much rather be outside, but if it needs to rain let it rain during the week. Les & I work on Saturday (outside) at a auction and then on Sunday we have a antiques show (again outside) that we will be setting up at. Soooo, let it rain this week, sorry gardening friends, I know you will forgive me.

Special Day

Thirty-Seven years ago today, May 4th, 1974, Les and I were married in a small chapel in the town that we grew up in, Metuchen, NJ. Unlike today the weather was beautiful. Blue skies, puffy clouds and WINDY!! So windy that I have a picture of us leaving the chapel and my veil getting wrapped around a column. I can still hear all the women gasping and runny to help me as I was being pulled backwards! So, what did we do today you ask? Nothing, Zip, Not a Thing. We did go out to our favorite seafood place nearby for a very, very, good dinner, drinks, dessert, coffee, in others words THE WORKS. Hope you have had a day just as wonderful as ours.

May Day & Gettin' The Porch Ready

Happy May Day Friends. While the day started out sunny it clouded over but I still managed to get a picture of our Redbud Tree down by the pond. And if you look to the lower left you can see Momma and the goslings. The babes are sitting down but that yellow that you are seeing in the grass is the goslings. Still no sight of the other family. I try and not think about it, because like I said in a earlier post they have done this before. Les and I have been busy getting our screen porch ready for the Summer. And to do that we need to move our business inventory around. Over the Winter we use the screen porch as a storage area when we can't get out to our sheds. And we all know how much snow we had around these parts, so the porch was pretty full. We had been outside for about four hours today. We moved furniture, plastic totes (we keep small items in these)and we have moved porch furniture, and we still are not done. But, we ran out of energy. Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. Take care.
