My Friend Anne

So,

 after

many 

years together

in the business,

my friend

Anne

is

retiring!

I'm going to miss her

a

bunch!

Anne is one of those people

you meet

so rarely

in

business.

A person 

who is always ready to

listen,

empathise

and give valid 

advice

. . . .

full of wisdom.

She is patient

kind

sincere

and trustworthy.

(Yes, sort of like a Girl Scout . . . )

She is generous

with her 

time

and her

compassion.

Anne

raises the bar,

and in this

business of retailing

antiques and vintage

 items,

that's

a

 tough

job.

Her thinking

 is creative

and

sometimes 

outside the box

(in the very best ways)

and

her artistic

nature

 energizes

and

inspires

me.

Anne stretches

my 

parameters

in every

way.

I have 

always

sought

Anne's

opinion

and her compliments

of my creative efforts

just

make my heart

sing.

We have this compliment

we pay 

one another

from time to time,

"I just want to live in your display space!"

I'm gonna miss your

face

and your

spirit

at

PATINA

Annie

and

 will always

think of you

as

a

stellar

friend

and

a

shining

star

and

attempt

to 

live up to

your

incredible

example!

Sneak Peek From Kansas

Joy has been texting photos to me from Kansas and boy has she picked up some great stuff! I thought I'd show you some of the things she's bringing home...

A wonderful 1908 oak door.

Eleven antique columns.

Three 8' tables, a long bench, grain cabinet, 8 huge corbels and 2 chandeliers.

You'll want to beat me to the store for that bench. It would go perfectly with my farm table!

The Perils of an Antiques Dealer.

What a day, what a day. It all started out so pleasantly yesterday. We found some great items to bring back to Denver...

 Architectural pieces and coverlet pieces from the 1800's.

 Antique honey jars and dinner mint tins.

 Enough doors and windows to build your own home.

And rusty, peely ceiling tins.

But then came the truck...the wrong truck...the one without a ramp, even though we were promised it had one. If there's one thing hauling junk has done for me, it's build muscles, but after loading the truck without a ramp, we came to find that Budget's 10 foot trucks are really only 9'6" - not big enough to accommodate our entire haul.

After canceling that truck, finding a new one through U-haul and loading it all up, we discovered it was the senior citizen of their fleet with 110,000 miles, no power steering and only the ability to get up to 45 mph. With the Kansas wind pushing it back, we could only get to 35 mph and the rain was starting to move in.

We called U-haul to swap out trucks but received little sympathy from them. So we sat, waiting and wondering, with a huge load of architectural items, old 3-wheel adult trikes, cabinets and assorted doors and furniture, hoping we'd make it back to Denver some time this month.

U-haul is off my good list.

The site we rented at claims they're not responsible and the main number for this city gets us to someone who is obviously not up for any Customer Service Agent of the Year award. We were routed and rerouted with answers vague and rampant avoidance. No one was able to offer any answers or advice, even though (or because?) they already had our $979 in their cash registers.

Did I mention that U-haul is off my good list?

After endless calls I finally found Shannon in the U-haul office in Wichita and she has saved the day and the reputation of the company. We were finally on the road again.

{The sweet rewards of manual labor!}

On the Road Again...

Joy is off on another junk jaunt to bring you new and fabulous antiques. She's been sending photos from the road, which make me completely jealous, but her 4 am wake up calls are just a bit early for my taste!

Here's some early-morning Kansas scenery. I love the way the sun is just coming up and shining on the farms.

On the way to pick up some antique cupboards and farm tables...

Stay tuned... As they say, "While the cat's away, her daughter will play!"

Pieces of The Past

I've been feeling

 ambitious

and

thinking 

about

spring

cleaning.

The season

is 

inspiring me 

to

pull out some of the beautiful

olde items I've been

hoarding

in my little workroom.

I have tiny treasures tucked away 

inside 

antique

leather

suitcases

and 

English crocks

and

lovey old jars

and

timeworn

wooden boxes.

I love to re-examine

these special

little

pieces of

olde

gently aged

mellow

handcrafted

in a simpler time.

And just

delight 

in the

fact

that they have been

preserved

and 

cared for

and

treasured

for another generation.

These pieces 

of

the 

past

fashioned of 

necessity

for a practical purpose

in

an age

when 

nearly 

everything

needed to be practical

are now 

appreciated

simply because they are

lovely.
