Booth Update: Marietta

We restocked both locations last week---nothing exciting this time, just what are called "smalls" in the antiques/vintage business. But smalls are what make the ends meet, as most sellers know. While large pieces can bring in good income when they sell, it's that "when they sell" part that can be tough. Sometimes it takes months or even a few years for higher priced things to sell, and in the meantime the smalls keep the money coming in.

Here's a look at our Marietta booths:
Rusty stuff, as I call it. I loved that little tool chest. One of those "I'd like to keep it but..."  I don't really need it, right? So into the booth it goes.

This is the globe I put together from random parts--the globe itself was from Goodwill, but missing its stand. I found the stand on ebay and so the match was made. I will make little on this,except the good feeling of taking two pieces of junk and making something good with them.  The lamb planters are American Bisque, I believe, and so cute for Easter decorating.

I seem to have collected a bit of Fostoria's American Clear, so it got some space at Marietta. Cake stand, covered wedding bowl, platter, candle holders and a few other pieces. The wedding bowl was another GW find, and missing its lid, which I found on ebay.

Pyrex, Jadite, and metal--lots of mid-century kitchen here.

Another shelf of new items. The lamb cookie jar is just so darn cute! The green bowl is Bauer, the green planter is Shawnee as are the little Dutch boy and Girl salt and pepper set.

Old rulers! What a cool lot these are. Slide rule, triangular rule, one from a funeral home, one with old 3-digit phone numbers.

And Fiesta Ware--I had a lot of random mismatched pieces, so they are priced cheap cheap cheap to move them.

Roly poly glasses--remember these from the 70's? I am hoping someone else does, and takes them home!

Coast Guard officer's jacket. Lt. Commander, I believe. Military gear of almost any kind usually sells well.

I added yet another house teapot to the collection. They're just so homey.

I sell a few books at Marietta. This one is a hymn book.
