its over.....


we had a great sale....even better than last year..up about 10%.....one lady scraped her leg, a glass disaster, about 10 goblets crashed to the floor mortifying a nice shopper.... a scuffle in the road when the traffic jammed... 90 + degrees..and at least 2 people there on oxygen....


. .3 wonderful big sales, and great crowd of buyers at the smaller level....


......if you came ....thank you so much....
..now the remains of the 50 cent row is in our good will store........and lots of the rest will be at nappanee auction in a couple of weeks... my oldest grandson worked helping people to their cars.....and got a tip!!! its such a relief when this thing is over and no problems.....

we partied pretty hardy at the lake....until late....
today we got 3/4s of it put away....

and trying to get back to normal and all our fall plans....
today 2 men asked me for work.one, a neighbor, knocked on my door before 9....... i wish i had more to offer, or some idea that could productively use the workers available....

we got a 2$ check....and the woman who bought 700 50 cent items one year...came....but didnt break her record.... the farthest travellers were about a tie...one from tennessee and one from wisconsin....ONE LADY ON OXYGEN!! sat in the shade and smoked like a chimney for a long time, while her family shopped...
we think about 900 came...

Hi Ann! I'm so glad it went well; I was thinking of you on the weekend. We were doing a show in Chicago. One customer there said she always reads both our blogs every Monday. Were your ears burning? xo
