Package Day
Apr. 5th, 2006 10:22 pmGot three packages today. Postman delivered two & I picked one up from the post office.
The first was a big bag of linen -- doilies, tableclothes & similar stuff. Over 30 pieces. To sell at market, and keep a couple for myself. Well, four or five.
Then was a box of clay pipes from the UK. The sale for this only closed 7 days ago. That's quick. Clay pipes bowls, because the stems are narrow and break off easily, or are broken off. Mostly the ornate ones from about 1870s, some plainer & older ones though. Keeping one, others are to sell. Interested to see how they go. They're not something that is easy to get locally.
The final bag was vintage kitchenware. Knives, patty pans, slotted spoons, a mincer. Also interested to see how these sell. Some kitchen stuff sells well, some doesn't. Kept a few pieces for myself. There's a couple that I can't identify (of course). I'll post pics of them when I find the camera's card. And a rather nice bread knife with a patent number.
I have a lot of new stuff to take with on the weekend.
