Booth Update: Riverbend

53 this morning, raining and high winds. A good day to be indoors.

Yesterday was a lovely day. We were so happy to have some friends come for a long visit. It's been so long since I cooked for anyone but us, and I did so enjoy it. I've been cleaning and cleaning recently so the house looked nice, and I was glad of a chance to just sit and talk. How we took for granted such pleasures before last year! I made pasta salad, deviled eggs, and my favorite chocolate zuccini bread, along with crudites and a cheese and cracker tray. We sat on the porch and talked, came inside and talked while I finished up preparations, sat and ate and talked, then just stayed at the table and talked some more. It was just wonderful. Today I have been a slug, mostly resting although I did do some eBay listings. The week ahead will be busy enough, so I am enjoying this respite.

We have been restocking our booths at our Ravenswood location almost every Friday, and our efforts have certainly paid off in sales. Here are some of the changes this week, and a few from last week.

This week we brought in the little race car. The tractor was brought in last week. 

I call this the toy shelf, although there are other things on it too. The blue cart was added this week.

We sold a mirror that had been in this spot, so I added some shelves in its place.

We got this nightstand on an online auction. For a change, it needed no work at all, a real blessing.

The bread box is new this week. I need to do some re-arranging in this corner soon.

Plenty of Pyrex for the collectors. This week's addition was the large casserole on the top shelf.

Another mirror sold from this spot, so I put in bins of linens. I have such a stockpile that I've priced these very cheaply just to move them along. Let's hope it works.

The punch bowl belonged to my son. He no longer wanted it, so to the booth it goes.

Did I show this shelf of canisters last week? All were recent finds. So tempted to keep them all.

Cookbooks and a feedsack-covered stool were also recent finds.

Toolboxes seem to be popular in some places but I have a hard time selling them. I really like the wood one, an old carpenter's toolbox.

We were in Marietta as well last week but made no major changes, just keeping everything tidy and re-arranged a little.

Tomorrow, maybe I'll get my little greenhouse up. That was the plan for today but the high winds convinced us to wait. We shall see what tomorrow brings.
