Covid Journal, Day 261: Ravenswood Booth Update

29 this morning, gray and drear. Perfect winter weather, except there's no snow.

We made our usual Friday trip to our booths in Ravenswood, and brought in more new things. Did some re-arranging too, to get it all in. 

This is the dinette set we drove to Ohio to pick up. It's in such good condition---the guy who owned it kept it polished monthly, and re-covered the chairs himself about 13 years ago. It's already pending pickup.

My own tree isn't decorated yet, but at least my booth tree is. 

Ruby prisms--maybe I should hang these on the tree?

Toys for men and boys. Might be some for girls too.

This is a talking cooking jar. The Cookie Cop says "step away from the cookie jar."

The latest Hoosier we re-did. This one has a wood top instead of the traditional porcelain one.

I have another of these teapots that I kept for myself, and it's my daily teapot right now.

The ever-popular Pyrex. It's harder and harder to find these days, at least for a reasonable price.

Don't you love the sparkle of these King's Crown teacups and saucers? 

All the ornaments on the tree are mercury glass. 

Quilts and afghans are slow sellers--people seem to want to find quilts under 50 dollars that are in pristine condition. And as you know, that's an almost impossible goal. 

I have such a weakness for pretty teacups. Anyone else suffer from this addiction? My mother preferred only English teacups, although she did have a few lithopane Japanese and some antique Chinese ones. I am not as particular, but they must be pretty, that's the one rule for me.

We will have to get to our Marietta booth this week. We've been putting it off and it's been a month. So that's next. I'm already at work on another table and chairs to replace the dinette set.
