Our Booth

During the last week of August, Nancy and I opened up our own antique booth in a store called Needful Things. The pictures above show how it looked right after we moved in.

The pictures below show how it looks now:

Hmmm--- Notice how it is getting fuller rather than emptier? What a strange phenomenon. I swear, we ARE selling things.

We are stocking the booth by going to garage sales. Here is an example of our "haul" one day last month:

See that glass egg plate on the near left? We bought it for $1 and sold it for $10. A few days later, there it was in a neighboring booth, priced at $14.95. Guess we are in the middle of the food chain!

In other news, a few days ago Nancy, Sharon and I did our civic duty and voted early. We still had to stand in line (outside), but it was a pretty day. Here are Nancy and Sharon outside the polling place:

Any guesses how Sharon voted? We voted in the Village of Flat Rock, which is VERY Republican -- however, we did find some fellow Democrats in line. If there are Democrats in Flat Rock, there is hope!

Okay, okay!

I WILL update my blog, even though my life is totally boring. Sorry it has been so long. I was going to give it up, but I am so touched that Abbi put a link on hers -- so update I must!

In June I adopted Brian's cat Mysterie (she's the black & white), and got a cool new kitty door that actually fits in the window. That way Captain and Mysterie can go outdoors without going into the fenced back yard where the dogs roam!

Just for the record, Captain and Mysterie still hate each other.



Also in June, we (Judy, Nancy, Sharon, Hu, Susan and I) went to the Flat Rock Theater to see "Meet Me in St. Louis." All those people walking around in front of it are strangers. But that is us below:

In July I went to Chicago to see my kids. Got there just in time for Hadley's birthday party. Morgan was HUGELY entertained by her whistle-thingy!

And I went to a cookout at Brian & Kristen's new Chicago apartment. Here they are -- dancing? No, I think they are telling someone how to open the door.


In August my family came to North Carolina! Mark & Tressa, Kathy, Peter, Johnny, Mattie, Jeff, Max, Maggie, Uncle Dan and Aunt Rosie ALL made the trip. It was a great weekend, but I didn't get a decent picture of anyone. This is the Carl Sandburg house, which we toured. It took a pretty good picture!

I would tell you more -- but right now Blogger is not uploading my pictures. So -- guess I will have to update again soon!
