Getting Settled

Keller Solid Maple China Cabinet $250

 The past few days has been a little like moving into a different home.  We now have one business property--The Rustic Shop on Hwy 18.  I have been unpacking boxes and finding places to put things.  Even though we have had the building for over a year, the last things to be moved were tools, supplies, antique items, and personal collection items.  There is much to do, but progress is going well.
We also have many new/old items--we purchased a household in mid December and are starting to get some of those things set up.  There are household items, glassware, cookbooks, furniture and more.  We will probably announce a "Household/Antique Sale" when we get everything sorted and set up.  The maple china cabinet is one of those pieces.  Also purchased a nice primitive blanket box.  As much as possible--hours will be 11 am to 5 pm Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and 10 am to 4 pm on Saturday. Thank you to all who helped in any way the past weeks.  It was a big job sorting, setting up the auction, and moving the things we decided to keep.  We could not have done it without those who helped.  Thanks again!

Dovetailed Blanket Box $125

Open this week

I am planning to be open on Thursday (Jan 13) from 12 to 5, Friday 11 to 5, and Saturday 10 to 4. 

Auction this week

We are about ready for the auction in our downtown building--Thursday January 6 at 2pm.  It will be a relief to have it finished.  A lot of things have been taken 'up the hill' to the Rustic Shop, so there is a lot to do when I finally get settled there on a regular basis.  I will have things for sale that have been stored for many years--sure there will be lots on the auction, but I kept some things that I thought would be fun to show and sell in the shop.  Also, I purchased a small estate in December.  I have only been able to stack the boxes--so sometime in mid January I will sorting  and getting things out for sale.
