Slatington---Goodbye

Yes, after many months of slow sales(plus a raise in rent) we came to the decision to leave at the end of March.  With the addition of the 2 Kimberton shows, it seems like a good time to leave.

Slatington Makeover

It was long overdo.  Moved things around, added some, removed some.  Hope this improves sales.

Kimberton show coming in March

Haven't started to work on the show, still dealing with Christmas.  But here are a couple of items we plan on bringing.

A nice original Jelly Cupboard, circa 1850.  This was still in the trailer.  The line across the cupboard is just a shadow from the trailer door.

6 board blanket chest, mid-1800's in red with till inside.  The stripe is just a shadow for the trailer door.

Springfield, Oh

Toward the end of the auction.  When it started, their was no seats available.

Yesterday's auction was ok.  We did get a number of items and they will be a nice addition to the upcoming March show.  I'll add a few photos when we get home.
    Today we'll visit a couple of antique malls and then head home.  It's been cold, as low as -1 and the heat in the truck is not that good. I think today it's going up to 12 degrees, a regular heat wave.

Auction time

So far we got a few things, still a long way to go.

Lafayette, In

Somewhere in Ohio

From the window of our hotel in Lafayette, IN. When we left NJ, weather report was 1-2 inches.  Looking at 5 inches now.  Not a fun ride pulling a trailer in a 2wd truck.  But we made it.  Sure hope the auction was worth the drive.

Off to Lafayette, Indiana for a auction

Heading to Indiana for a Saturday auction.  We've been to this New Year's auction before.  Hope to find a few good items.
