Playing Hooky Again From The Antique Business

It was too cold today to work with Antiques and Collectibles so I took the day off and went fishing. Turned out to be a great day as you can see; caught my limit of trout on Whiskeytown Lake. My little honey took the picture and had a great meal prepared for me after I cleaned the fish of course. Just click on the picture for a larger view.

Western Days at The Cottonwood Antique Fair

Here we are at the Cottonwood Antique Street Fair which was held first part of December. The theme was Western Days so I came dressed in my western outfit. Kathy wore her usual "good luck" wear. It was a good day and we would probably try it again next year. Just click on the pictures for a larger view.

The Red Bluff Street Fair

Here we are at the Red Bluff Antique Street Fair selling our wares. It was a beautiful day and a lot of people came to buy. That's my little honey behind the table. Just click on the pictures for a larger view.

Playing Hooky Again!

Recently I played hooky from the antique business and went fishing with my friend, Dick. It was a beautiful day out on Lake Shasta but we only caught three keeper Bass. But the fishing will improve and hopefully we will do it again soon. (Just click on the pictures for a larger view).

The Redding Gun and Antique Show

Here we are at the Redding Gun and Antique Show at the Redding Convention Center this past weekend (March 5-6). Thats my little honey behind the desk waiting on a customer. The bottom photos show part of the Gun Dealer Set-up which was down stairs from the Antique Dealers. It rained off and on most of the two days but the crowd was great. Guns and Antiques are still a popular attraction. (Just click on the pictures for a larger view but don't forget to click the back button to enlarge another picture).

Selling Collectibles on eBay

With the kind of weather we've been having lately (cold and wet) there's not much to do except list auctions on eBay. So I've been loading up eBay with old Matchbook Covers from the 1930's-60's. The picture will show an example of some I sold recently. I don't get these prices for most of them and a lot don't even sell but I will keep on listing them as long as my supply lasts. This certainly keeps me busy but I would rather be Gold Prospecting. (Just click on the picture for a larger view).

I had it all planned to do some work at our Antique Business a few days ago but I came down with a high fever and couldn't do any Antique work at all. I did, however, go Gold Prospecting instead and this is what I found. Did I mention that it was GOLD FEVER I had? (Just click on the pictures for a larger view).
