A New Path

Very excited and very nervous!

Today I moved into my new booth space

at the Midwest Antique Company

in Palmyra, MO

Yeah, if you haven't heard of Palmyra, you aren't alone -

it's about 15 minutes north of Hannibal, MO.

You know...where Mark Twain was from?!

It'll take me awhile to get all settled in, but

here's a few quick shots of what I got moved in today.

 

The booth is bigger and more expensive that I had intended to get,

but the smaller spaces weren't in good locations and the large one

is in an excellent spot - on a corner, crossing 2 aisles,
so I decided to live in the edge and give it a try!

I really never intended to get a booth anywhere,

but I keep bringing home really large pieces

that are too big to ship - like this...

I just can't seem to control my bidding finger at all at an auction!

I see a piece with "potential", the price is right,

and before I know it, it's mine.

The funny thing is, Tuesday night at an auction,
I came home with large patio umbrellas that I didn't bid on.

The auctioneer was calling and he saw me looking carefully at the umbrellas.

I guess he thought that meant I wanted them,

because next thing I knew, he said I won.

They were only $5 for both of them, so I was fine with it.

If you like the Beauty in the Beast buffet up above...it will be in my booth soon!
Wish me luck!!!
