72°f this morning, and a high of 95°. Muggy, not a pleasant day at all.
I revamped the window at our booth a bit but only got a photo looking from the inside out.
A good shower overnight meant we did not have to water this morning, thankfully, but we will be out in an hour or two to turn on the sprinkler and carry buckets. It will be the routine until this heat breaks.
We started the day with a visit from our son Derek, to help Larry load that green cabinet in the van. Usually we can manage even very heavy pieces, but this time I had to cry uncle, as my back is giving me issues. But I bribed Derek with breakfast: blueberry apple pecan pancakes, with a mixed berry homemade sauce. We had a nice visit, dawdling over coffee on the porch.
Then it was off to take the cabinet to our booth. Unloading was no issue--it was those 5 steps at home that were a problem. Now it is in place and for sale.
We took in a few other things to add to our booths too, and did a little freshening up while we were there.
I have several pieces of Blenko Glass for sale here, some from my collection Blenko has been made since the 1930s and is famous for their Midcentury art glass. This salad set was made by them.
Blenko on the right, L.E. Smith center, Fenton on the left. All made in this area.
Just odds and ends.
Last photo: old ironstone pitcher that I really would like to keep, but therevis this thing called lack of space!
Your spaces look so fun, the sort of place I would love to have a nosey through! Something very cool happened here. Remember that I told you about needing two chairs. I found them. Upstairs. In my own house! I forgot that I had them! I just need to paint them white!
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure trove your booth is!! So many interesting pieces.
ReplyDeleteNice that your son was able to help loading the heavy cupboard
( bribery in the form of delicious food works well, doesn't it!!).
It's amazing the issues that can come up by doing just regular things. My wife's leg gave her a problem just walking up the stairs. Nice look at your items, I enjoy seeing them. Have a good week and stay cool.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of interesting things in your booth. I would think that your variety would keep the traffic stopping to see what you have. My uncle, aunt and another cousin used to work at Fenton glass.
ReplyDeleteGardens and booths keep you young.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful things, all of which I covet but would have no room for!
ReplyDelete...Susanna, I didn't know that antiques are a business for you. Mid Century Modern is my thing with some period pieces sprinkled in. I like art glass and pottery!!!
ReplyDeleteYou must know a little bit about everything! We are on the hunt for some old beer signs and neon. Every one else must be too as it is really hard to find!
ReplyDeleteWonderful glass items.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter would go mad for some of that glass. And the set up is both charming and easy to scan. Nice work.
