Some Women Should Just Not Wear Shorts

Dear Husbola and I have returned from a good Elkhorn Antiques Market this past weekend--the weather was grand, the crowd was relaxed--quite a bit slower than the market in May--which gave us some time to reflect on some observations--not all related to antiques.

What is that shopper going to do with the broken sawed off ladder we saw them hauling to the exit?  Or the wire egg basket that looked like it was run over by a truck?

I should have bought seller Chippy Shabby's incredible blue french chairs-and they were marked SOLD early on Sunday.

I had been dreaming about a Lion's Club brat all week--with kraut--and it did not disappoint.

The 1940s  INCREDIBLE chippy aluminum flamingos are now in our living room.

Lady Who Also Sets Up in Our Building?  Your  loud voice grates on my nerves ALL DAY LONG.

We sold more "men's things" than "women's things" this month--and we have to remember that.  Two fabulous hunting watercolors and a folk art painted wall tackle box from Canada.

Good stuff sells at Elkhorn.  Not just the aforementioned egg basket like items.

Tattoos  Tattoos Tattoos.  Still makes me wonder  what they will look like on 80 year old arms.

I am married to a very very VERY good and indulgent man.

Shoppers at Elkhorn skew younger and edgier.  THANK HEAVENS.

And--last but oh so not least--Some women should just not wear shorts.
