July and summer really hasn't brought the heat!

Fortunately sales are up this July over the past 2 months at the mall booth. I've had 2 mini yard sales on Sundays and got rid of 2 box loads of misc stuff plus some other knick knacks. Weather is not cooperating for weekends.
Now family illnesses hamper gadding about.
I had a meeting in a park awhile back and was able to take a short nature trail and was surprised to come upon a fawn in a meadow nibbling all the wildflowers etc



This was in a park surrounded by a city--metropolitan area!

I also found this old gate post/hitchin' post. Made me think of the framed photos I saw at the art fair "craft booth" that was selling framed photos of images looking like letters so one could spell out a name or word

Balloon Fest is highlight of outside antiques sale

June was great weather wise but sales did not pick up. Had a yard sale at spur of moment--Live on a very busy street, but lookers only. Tried the dealers outside sale on the 27th--beautiful hot day, once again lookers and few buyers--this was the consensus of at least half of us. Setup early was the best treat of the day. The 25th annual balloon fest had just started their morning launch. Driving up the expressway was glorious to get the sneak peeks of one after another. Counted over 30 aloft at once. Then most changed direction and flew over the antiques mall. WOW!

Photo isn't so great but you get the idea. I used my iPhone and was surprised what I could get. Yep all those dots are hot air balloons!

My neighbor is planning a yard sale--I hope soon, as I was too tired to take all those boxes to the basement. This may become a blowout clear out sale. Or as one dealer did a FREEBIE. Just to get space and pass on those seemingly unsaleable items.
