Sterling, Souverirs, jewelry added to shop

Good evening all,

Well, I got a small load of boxes into storage this morning. Got some stuff added to the shop and a few items photographed. Plus got a few things organized.

Had 6 couples come look at the house today, at least 2 seem pretty interested. The cats are not to happy about these goings on. Messes up their nap cycles.

Also gotta get some more items ready for my auction on the 12th.
Country Joe's Auction

As we are packing up for this house selling and buying episode I have come to the conclusion that I've hoarded too much stuff. Have packed about a hundred boxes so far of collectibles that have been stashed for a rainy day. After years of selling at flea markets and buying at markets, yard sales and auctions, I always
had to pull out a few items for down the line. Problem was in 1989 the building that my shop was in at a flea market here in N.J. burnt down and just about everything was gone. Well, now it was time to start over, so to catch up I started to skim more stuff from each load I bought and smaller items that I could stick in cigar boxes and such. Other than the graniteware and some country and primitive pieces that I collect nothing was bigger than a shoebox. A few years back my ex-partner and I closed a shop that we had and it took many van loads to move my part here to the house. And I continued to add to the pile. When we decided it was time to downsize after a year or so of treatments for throat cancer and realizing that at 60 the 30 or 40 years of ideas yet to be done was going to be a problem. So I talked myself into dismantling this "Zillion Item Hoard" that I created. Not an easy thing to do when one is a packrat. Not that I've stopped buying just being more selective. Been adding more to my online shops which slowly cuts down the pile, adding more stuff that I don't really know why I own into my monthly auctions and even tossing (shudder) some stuff. (to be continued).

See ya, Country Joe
