cough cough

Sorry about last week. I was pretty sick and only made it out for a few minutes before I ran home. I only found a few items so unless noted everything is from yesterday.

Today I was selling at the antique flea. Not a bad show…a bit below avg. But when you remember last month is was good. I did have an odd one at the show. This is stuff you can’t make up! You probably remember the Zebra skull from a few weeks ago? Well I sold it today ($45). But the odd part was the buyer. I figured my key demo with a zebra skull was a male over the age of 40. Not a 10 year old girl. Seriously! She walked over with her father and stared at it. Asked the price…she looked at him and he said “I’m not buying you another one. How much do you have.” She had 45 on her exactly…and said it was “The best day ever” and how she had to go right home to “put it with the others.” I asked about if she collects zebras. And she said no and rattled of a bunch of animals names…turns out she collects animal skulls. A 10 year old girl that collects skulls…future wild animal vet or serial killer??? To put some perspective on it another little girl about an hour before that saw it took 3 steps back and said loudly “that’s creepy.”

Anyway here is the rundown
