Summer means non stop antiquing events and finding antiques that just say cool and calming and that just scream "Have an iced tea on your porch" kind of day.
I know these cool summer days are not everyone's favorite. They are mine. Windows open, Cool nights. Not much sticky humidity. Great.
There are also some other items of note that means summer is not over.
*Non stop auctions in the midwest. Not so many pure estate auctions. But good things are finding their way to the market. Like the gorgeous 1825, American four drawer Sheraton Chest, flame birch, and tiger maple, tiger top with beaded edge, birch case with thin turned legs. Dovetailed legs have tiger fronts. PERFECT. Will be featured soon.
*Finding a new favorite auction house--and knowing NO ONE in the audience.
* Dear Husbola's little brown tomatoes that have been growing all summer long are really sugar sweet.
* My parents are celebrating their 59th wedding anniversary. (they waited DECADES to have me)
* No Japanese beetles so far.
*Another Elkhorn Antique Flea Market.
*Warm lemon scones on Friday's from the St. Charles Farmer's Market. Hazelnuts Cafe. INCREDIBLE.
*Rediscovering old friends and enjoying new ones.
*Planning several months of good antiquing--and seeing the Collective Customer Checkbook has loosened a bit. After all--we are selling things that people do not need.
So don't believe what the Always Wrong Anyway Weather People Say. Plenty of summer left.
