On Wednesday we had a Mid Century Dealer from out of state buy a trailer load of Funtiques Furniture and smalls. Because we had the Ozark Antique Festival Saturday and Sunday we decided to jump into the van Thursday and see what we could find in St. Louis. We were hopeful that we would find some great items to bring back to Funtiques and to share at the antique show. Little did we know that we would find so much that we had to borrow my sisters garage in St. Louis to store what we could not fit into the van. We started at 6:30 the next morning and did not return back to my sisters house until pushing 9pm. YIKES. Up the next morning (Friday) at 6am for a sale and then on the road back to Springfield with a van full. Friday night we set up for the Antique Show at the Fairgrounds. Saturday the show ran from 9 - 5. Crashed that night. Up Sunday for another day at the fair. Packed everything up and brought it to Funtiques Sunday night. Back to work for both of us Mon. morning. We went back to St. Louis after work on Saturday night to pick up what we left in my sisters garage. Shopped on Sunday on the way back to Springfield. Unloaded the trailor Sunday night. Calapsted. Returned to work on Mon. I am pretty sure WE ARE CRAZY. We love what we do but it is hard work, long hours, heavy lifting and a crazy life style. Check out the rewards of our efforts!! |
