the weekend

we had a great weekend ....IF YOU CAME....THaNK YOU....
we had so many fun interesting customers come thru....hard to realize how many have been coming for over 20 yrs!!!
..... and lots of babies too....
the oldest....a wonderful lady over 80 who bought a huge oak Chicago pantry for her collection...
the adviser...., hunter, gave us the idea to put the big tree up on a table....
my funny friend from California......., who picked out her horse's name in the license plate letters to put on his barn door....

we did so much work to get ready for this....moved 2 walls and people seemed to like the more open feel..... all the dishes are out of the dish section and if you need any you must look in the cupboards all around the store...
naturally some things sold great and we ran out and others didnt sell at all....there sure is a lot of guesswork going on when we pick out our inventory....
whats on my mind..... i want to have something special for the facebook fans, and blog fans too...but not sure what yet....
. i know we will have an after Christmas sale... and im hoping for a small second open house if i can come up with an idea.....
on line , our facebook has really taken off....i like the blog more but facebook is taking most of my time for now...
there is a new look i really like.....you can see it in restoration hardware and at a store in australia called http://meandmo-homewares.com.au/ ... its such a beautiful look and you could create it so well using a store like us or just getting out there into the world of old and rehabbed for your house....i love their presentation...im sure our prices are a whole lot better!!!! being in the cheapest state for good junk!!! old new and rehaBBED... .....its a lot of white , but not shabby or romantic, rather white and some wood and metal, nice lines and kind of manly or scientific.......and spare...we have or have had many of the same pieces.
...i like our white furniture....but the black still sells the best....
another customer brought me a pottery barn catalogue with antique typewriters for sale...NOW which would you prefer???? ours for 55$$ or theirs for 349$ ...both nice and tall and from early 1900s
