Business in the Antique and Collectibles market remains really good. This seems to be true with other dealers I have been visiting with. Over the past weekend I worked in Rockdale at the first Country Estate Auctions in the new Main Street Building and not just dealers were buying. Though not a huge auction we did have about 150 folks and that's a good number. Folks were buying all sorts of goodies.
I personally snagged a cool 1930s Flamingo Mirror. I paid $10.00 and can expect about $75.00 return. There was also some nice pieces of furniture of which I am now the owner of a part of those pieces. Let's see, I got a very nice buffet with a back mirror, a vanity with a lovely round mirror, a great antique chect of drawers, and a few other furniture items.
As for smalls I managed to buy back some planters that I sold about 6 years ago. They still had my mark on them. This time they will go to the shoppe. The couple of fun finds are a kingsley gold stamping machine from 1930 and it works - Spent a dollar. The other is a surf board...have no clue why but I will put it on the porch at the shop and see what happens.
