Pictures From the April Event

I wanted to share some photos of the goodies we had at the April Event. It was lots of fun even though the weather was cold and snowy.

We have set the date for the May event. It will be Saturday May 17th. We are going to try it for just a Saturday instead of Sat and Sun. I think for the first few months we will try it out a few different ways and find out what all of you prefer. Let me know what you think.

I am going to NYC this weekend to visit friends and look for inspirations and new ideas to bring back to all of you. (and of course shop!!!)

If any of you have things you are looking for let me know and I will keep it in mind when I am antiquing.

In the meantime enjoy spring.

Preview of the Goodies coming this Weekend

Well I've been working all my free time on the Event this weekend. Sounds like the weather is not going to co-operate but at least I have my snug little shop in my basement. I feel for all of the Garage Sale people trying to stay dry and warm. Check out my pictures. Lots more to do and lots more treasures to display. I stained the floor of the big room and I love the way it came out! Polka Dots!

Don't forget we start at 8 on Saturday morning. See you there.

The details for the sale.

Here's the flyer for the upcoming event. More pictures of the goodies to come and of the new improved floor I worked on this weekend.

Learning How to use my PC

Well I am usually a Mac girl at work but have a PC at home since that is what my husband needed for his work. I have hard time doing anything on it but today my daughters GREAT boyfriend gave me a lesson. He's so patient! I now believe I can post pictures. Look I did it. I can even File things and find them again and maybe even remember that there is such a thing as "right click". Amazing!

So like I said in my last post I will be having the first of my Retromantic Antiques weekend events on April 12 and 13. It should be great fun and is also Garage Sale Weekend in Mineral Point.
Included is a preview of the goodies we will have for sale.

Well this is a big first step

I have just started reading Blogs let alone writing one. I decided this is one of my big steps to taking my Antique business legitimate.

So a little background. I live in Mineral Point Wisconsin. It is a small very quaint town that is all on the Historic Registry. Lots of Artisans and cute shops.

I have been selling antiques for around 8 years in Antiques Malls and friends stores. It just so happened that when we bought our great house in MP two years ago the basement is perfect for a shop!

So now I am going to start having monthly sales at my house for my antiques instead of trying to be open every weekend. That just got too hard. It tied me to the house when I sometimes I just needed to do errands or even nap!

I will posting shots of my antiques here soon and giving the dates for the first sale of the season.
