Covid Journal, Day 313: Back to the Booth

A chilly 31 this morning, and then glory of glories, the sun came out. The ground is soggy, the creeks are bank-high, but today it was sunshine and just a few clouds. 

Today was grocery-shopping day, and we picked up our hams and bacons from the slaughterhouse where they were smoked and cured. I can't wait to taste them, but that treat will have to wait until tomorrow. We are well stocked up for sure now--I even bought two more turkeys to can because at 49 cents a pound they're really a bargain. So we have all the venison, pork and poultry we need for this year. That's a good feeling. My new greenhouse came and so did the seeds so the cycle will soon begin again.

I don't think I've posted photos from our Ravenswood booth recently so I'd better catch up. We've sold several more furniture pieces, so we've had to be on our toes bringing in new things.

A little Valentine's Day decor to start with. The little red chair was perfect for Christmas and now doing double duty for the next holiday.

This was a serendipitous thing--I had set this table with the King's Crown dishes, when  what should come in my mail but the newest All About Glass magazine--with King's Crown on the cover.

This cupboard is a new addition to the booth too. It's perfect for crocks, very rustic look.

Cats in ceramic--from an auction lot that also brought is the hanging light.

A bowl full of vintage buttons. If they don't sell in the next month or so I'll bring them home to list on eBay. There are some really pretty ones in there.

A keys hanger, a metal wall hanging rack for dish towels or for drying herbs, and a wheel that I think might be off a teacart or the like.

Vintage military backpack and other military clothes. These sell well from time to time but we seem to be in a lull at the moment.

Acrazy quilt that I bought on eBay for myself, but realized that it was too fragile for this house.

The last Sellers cabinet that Larry refurbished. It really looks great. These take a while to sell, but make good display units in the meantime.

Lots and lots of pocketknives from the last auction. These aren't the best, but at 12.00 each they should sell. We still have more whenever these sell down.

And more smalls, the bread-and-butter of booths.

A closer look at the crock cupboard.

And that's it. We'll be at our Marietta booth later this week but don't have any big changes planned there.
