Marietta Booth: Update

I have so many storytelling/writing projects on the burners right now, but the booths at both locations are keeping us hopping too. Here's a look at what changes we've made at Marietta.

We sold the pieces we had in this spot, so we moved things around and added art prints to the wall.

Also new to the booth is the little potty chair, lower left.

So cute--even still has the graniteware chamber pot in place!

Silverplate tea service took aa good bit of polishing!

Little folding planter stand could use repainting, so if it doesn't sell soon it will come home for a re-do.

We had a Vietnam-era flare box on top of this cabinet, but it sold so the child's rocker took its place.

Two Pyrex casseroles that were promotional pieces were recent finds. Black Tulip on left, Midnight Bloom on the right.

This is a funny story. We had an oak dresser with mirror at our other location that just didn't move. One problem was that one drawer was flimsy. So we took it home, repaired the drawer and took it to Marietta. It sold in less than a week! It's so odd how something sits at one place and goes so fast in another. We stopped in to check on the booth the same day the dresser sold and as it happened we'd just picked up this dressing table and had it in the van. I had planned to paint it, but kinda hated to because it was in suh lovely condition. We just moved it in as is. It has a matching stool too.

I love this cedar chest. It's just gorgeous with the carvings on it. I brought in more art prints for this area. They don't sell fast but they do sell. One is of the Philippi double covered bridge.

We've had this dinette set 90% complete since June, and finally got it done and into a booth.

Aluminum canister set sell well these days. I try to keep at least one set in each booth.

We sold that intriguing antique pedal knife sharpener this month---and the barrel butter churn in this photo is sold now too. So we brought in a couple industrial stooks and a "tanker" desk chair--so called because the old metal desks from the 1940's that these chairs went with were called tanker desks, because they were as big and heavy and sturdy as tanks!

Blenko glass, with a large green unidentified vase.

The gray corner shelf Larry made is still with us. It may end up going to Ravenswood, as these shelves sell quickly there.
