Whew! So many people
I decided to run over to New London to the sale this morning even though it is really cold! I wanted to see the new building and thought there might be some terrific things there and that people probably would stay away since it was so cold.
Well, I saw the new building (and it's nice) but the weather certainly didn't keep the people away. I'm not sure I have ever seen that many people at a Menke Hoyer sale before. Although the building is bigger and allows for all the trailers and furniture to be inside there was hardly room to walk and certainly seeing things was difficult, you couldn't get close enough to the trailers to see what there was for sale and I don't like to buy things that I haven't looked over first.
I'll give you an example of how things were going, a plate that would normally bring $20 sold for $160! Unmarked plates that normally would sell for $1 or so were selling for $20 or more. Not my kind of sale!
I bought one dresser dish and some tupperware and then said the heck with it and left. Tom, Michelle and Alan were there but there were so many people that I didn't get a chance to visit with any of them, couldn't get to them and if I had we would not have heard each other, two rings going in the building so it was really noisy.
I now have a marble cake in the oven, helps to warm up the house and it also sounded good. Haven't had cake since my wonderful birthday cake so figured it was ok.
It was fun to see both Heidi and Bobbi work on their blogs. Heidi is now a payperposter and it won't be long before Bobbi should qualify, just has to age her blog and make sure she ads content almost everyday.
Now I will check how tupperware is selling on eBay and then either list or get back to work on the Beautifuls.
