First, I had to get ready for the Tag Sale.

I’m happy to say, I sold both big, galvanized tubs, the chamber pot, the lard cans, and the enamelware, among other things. Those were all big items that really put a crimp in my space here.
Oh, and Aunt Bertha was here.

She stopped on her way home from the Carolinas and ended up staying for several days. It was a lovely visit. She’s always fun to have around.
There were some miscellaneous strolls around town, as usual.

That bear is a fixture at Amy’s at Rhodes, a gift shop on Main Street.

I’ve been painting, too. The girls like to hang out with me when I am in the basement. Only Meg is in the picture, but the others are nearby.
The color in that picture, captured with my phone, is a bit wonky. The bench is not nearly as purple as it looks. I am about halfway done now. A picture of the completed project will eventually be shared here.
As an aside, like my new workbench? That’s one of the treasures I acquired at auction during my crazy inventory binge. It cost me a whopping five bucks.

So that’s what I have been up to. Of course, there’s also work, which keeps me busy during the day. And some other miscellaneous stuff.
There’s not a ton of excitement on the horizon over the next few days. But I’ll try to be back sooner.
Can you believe February is half over!?!
