Found this little fellow in a thrift store on Monday. His name is Payne the toothache bear from Hermann in West Germany. He is jointed and so precious. He will be going in my personal collection, not for sale. I absolutely adore him!

Went to an auction this evening and everyone knows I have a soft spot for vintage Christmas items, especially Santa items and vintage ceramics. Got into a bit of a bidding war for this piece but I won. :)

Not for sale, this is going in my personal collection. Love it! Also got a couple of boxed of mixed Christmas items. Not sure what yet, will have to dig into the boxes later.

Here's your chance to own an awesome guitar signed by Hannah Harper, American Idol 2026 winner ! We are having a benefit auction for a friend battling cancer. Craig Bennett donated this guitar from his collection and Hannah signed it. It will be auctioned off June 6th.

You can bid in person at 11 Point Flea Market at the Eleven Point Rural Fire Department at the benefit auction. Auction starts at 5pm Saturday June 6th. You can bid ahead of time by contacting Frank Vanhorn . Help us help a local family in their time of need.

For those who don't know, Hannah is from our little town of Willow Springd, Missouri. We are so appreciative of her signing this guitar to help raise funds for a friend with cancer.

What was everyone else up to this weekend? We went to an estate auction . There was so much stuff! Yes we filled the truck up. Couldn't get any furniture or much of the glassware we were wanting. Glassware was going for more than we could have sold it for in antique store. Some of it I was wanting for me. Oh well, we got some great finds though.

Yes we did get some of the old Jim Beam bottles. They'll be going in my daughter's collection. And we were able to get this entire table (plus more) of vintahe Blue Ridge Pottery dishes! Most are in great shape, only a few have chips. Thrilled with them! Now to pick out which to keep and which to sell....

Hope everyone has a great week!

Anyone else love teddy bears? My mom collected teddy bears and after she passed I swore I wouldn't start collecting. I would pick up ones that she used to have or ones that would remind me of her. Now it seems I am picking up more and more that I just like. We picked this little lady up about a month ago. She looks like one my mom would have loved. Isn't she lovely?

Saw this handsome fellow the other day. Had to snap a picture because he just looked so cool hanging out waiting for his mom to come back out of the gas station. Looked like he was posing for the picture.

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I'll try to get some more stuff posted this week!
