We started this shop so that we can sell my mother, Vera's, antiques and things she inherited from family members.

My mother used her vintage things to put on shows for area nursing homes. Her and her sister would practice songs for skits and use the dresses, shoes, and other old items for the props. They have been everything from southern belles, to teenagers and clowns. They had a lot of fun together and decided to stop after Covid hit. My parents are now trying to find a smaller home and need to down-size....but she has all of these things that needs to be sold. She has a 2-story house full with an attic!!

So together we work on a list of things once a week. We decide what item to sell and then I take many photos. Then she writes up a short description of it and measures it while I take pictures of the next item until we have worked for about 6 hours. I take the list home with me and upload the pictures to my computer. I then write the final description and list the items. When an item is sold, I write down the information and go across town to her house where we find the item, wrap it, package it, and weigh it. I then take it with me and back at my house I print the label and run to the post office, or schedule for the mailman to pick-up.

I know it sounds like a lot but we really have fun together and laugh about some of the old things she has. I guess because we have to inspect everything so closely that she gets a chance to say goodbye to it. She gets right down close to it before it goes out the door.
