So much fun at the antique sale today!

We sold piles of goodies!  For the first 2 hours, steady... 2 of us were writing up the bills, while 2 others wrapped and packed, and a few other helpers rearranged and helped carry furniture out the door!
The afternoon gets to a nice steady pace rather than a big rush so we get a chance to have a break and put some more items out and keep the place looking tidy!


outside the Red Shed area of our sale, yummy shabby chippy!
 ...mostly finer china and glass and better furniture in the hayloft of  the barn
 ...more country and shabby vintage on the main floor of the barn...
 When you take part in a sale, you see alot that you love but can't possibly focus on everything!! Some of the items I was writing up........aaacckkk.....I would have bought that red and white enamel teapot which was MINTY for ....yes...$6.00!
Different consignors, different pricing! Some of the stuff went out the door for a song!
 .....love these metal wheels!
A shabby piece that was in the Red Shed area of the sale.......don't you love it?

Today at the Red Barn Antiques Sale

No time to write much at the moment, but here is where Marilyn and I spent the day, the first day of the Red Barn Fall Sale I mentioned last week. Oh what goodies they have there at half the price of antique shops! Our customers were buying, buying, buying........china, glassware, furniture, rustic farm stuff, old gates and wooden boxes, quilts, ........I could go on and on!! We wrote receipts, and wrapped and helped take it to their cars and trucks. What fun!! We're going back on Sunday to help, the last day of the sale. Would love to be there each day but I'm behind in so many things I'd better stay home! Enjoy the show! (most shots taken before opening, then a few of things being piled up that were sold and the buyers were still shopping!)(a few outside shots taken too)
