Work Day: Booths

72°f/22°C, breezy and light overcast.  Need rain.

Heavy work the last 2 days! On Thursday, we drove to the Parkersburg area to pick up a couple pieces of furniture, and met some really nice people. At the first place, the lady said, "So you live in Ripley?"

"Well, not exactly," I said. "Between Ripley and Spencer." 

"My daughter is married to a man whose parents live out that way, on Joe's Run.  Do you know where that is?" 

"That's our road! Well, the one we take to get to our road."

"Their names are Randy and Carla. Do you know them?" 

"They're practically our next-door neighbors!" I said. (They are about a mile from us, but that's next-door up here.)

Small world. But I always say West Virginia is just one small town. Talk to anyone long enough, you will know someone in common.

When we got home we had to unload that evening, because Friday was booth day. We skipped it last week, so we had plenty to do. Friday morning we loaded the white cupboard and 4 totes. At Farmhouse we took out the possum belly cabinet and put in the white cupboard. Loaded the possum belly and took it to Ravenswood since a green cabinet we had there had sold. A solid 5 hours of work, no lunch break, and we were done. And done in! But all looks good now.

I didn't take photos at Ravenswood,  but here's some from Ripley. 

I tried to echo the scene in the framed print, and got a little bit like it.

Crystal is selling again, if I keep prices low, and put lights around it. Not a fast mover, but some sells each month.

Linens also sell, but I need to tidy up this display. 

Not attractive!

Dollies sell too, but again, I keep the price low. Most are below $5.

No plans for today, except do some wateringvand put in a few plants.
