Here are a few of the "I have to have that" items currently listed (Scott takes such beautiful pictures!)  Each picture is a link to its own auction.  I'm actually suprised no one has made a move on the cedar icecream bucket.  It really is nice, if you're into rustic collectibles.  The saltbox is sooo pretty; the glaze is opalescent, and it was made in Czechoslovakia.  I love the Sadler teapot.  Not too fancy, beautiful curves (kinda like me...), and little pastel flowers.  The Heisey glass basket is very elegant, and I love how Scott photographed it (atop the comforter on our four-post bed).  Wish me luck on the auctions......the car insurance is due!

I got up before the sun.  The last thing I said before falling asleep (quite contently, I might add) was "I'm sleeping late in the morning."  There was a bet.  I lost.  I just cannot sleep "late" (MY translation 8:00 AM) even on weekends.  Scott bet I'd sleep till 7:00.  I awoke at 6:03.  Brewed a fresh pot of coffee, fed the kittens (o joy! canned food again today! - I am spoiling them...), checked email and the auctions. 

The day couldn't have started on a better note.  A glass basket I listed reached the reserve; there are bids on the Trixie Belden and Tammy books; a piece of Westmoreland glass finally got a bid; and the beer sign is holding steady at $12.38.  The rooster & hen print has been at least looked at (and has probably become quite a conversation piece ::wink::), and we got positive feedback from the buyer of the antique clock.  Plus! we achieved a gold Ebay star by our name!

To top the morning off, Sugarfused has been added to The Presurfer's favourite blogs!  I left a thank-you note, and browsed the site for a bit, while enjoying my early morning brew.  Quite a nice suprise, and very much appreciated...
