Goodwill and a Memorial Garage Sale

I went to Goodwill today.  

Just another day – a little of this  – a  little of that.

I got a couple of things to put in a BIG extravaganza of a sale I am planning in October.

On the way to visit a pal – I took a different turn – just to jazz up the drive and found an impromptu garage sale on the lawn of an apartment building.

Apartments are like at the bottom of my list for finding anything worthwhile – but today I proved myself wrong.  

Oh so SO wrong.

No, indeed.

I also got an Atkinson Fox print in an original frame – two tin bunny chocolate molds – another small print – a huge silver colored Concho belt and a couple of other things.   

I felt like I won the lottery.  Or at least a part of it.

Yay!

Here I am at work. Blogging. Good thing I am the boss!

Good thing I AM the boss!   It is kinda quite today at work – I brought my laptop to do maybe a couple of listings on ebay and got sidetracked by the dust bunnies under the desks.

So I have just finished sweeping and vacuuming and I thought it would be a nice time to work on this thing called – Blog –

My office is in a Victorian house built in about 1875 and this is the view of a tree last fall through the wavy glass.

Nice, eh?

OK!  The phone rang and I have work to do.   Might even earn a little money today… ya just never know…
