Had our last auction for the season on Saturday, a nice load of collectibles showed up including about 75 vintage lunch boxes, approx. the same amount of Dept. 56 houses etc. Plus lots of costume and sterling jewelry, vintage paper, couple of 5 cent gumball machines and a great couple of postcard lots that I had to buy $$$$$$. Plus the regular assortment of neat collectibles, glassware, china etc. that usually come it. Now for the hard part, the paperwork.
Oh, being that it rained that morning the American Legion Hall had to move their Easter Egg Hunt to inside the building, so we roped off half of the hall and had a zillion kids and parents for a few hours in the morning, even the Easter Bunny showed up. Luckily they have a few smaller rooms that they used also.
Yesterday and today I got some stuff added to the shop. Still gotta dig though my auction purchases.
