Want to see what a $28,000 lamp looks like? Come by and check it out!

Seriously, someone has this lamp listed for $28,000. Always remember that anyone can ask any price for something, it's what it actually sells for that counts. And seriously, if you're going to sell a lamp for $28,000, I think your description needs to read more than "vintage ceramic lamp".

The first picture is ours and the second is a screenshot from their listing.

PS. We're asking $175 for our "$28,000" lamp. đŸ˜‚

I enjoy seeing something that was once popular but has gone out of fashion come back again but what I really love are the timeless things that will work now and in 30 years from now. I got lucky with a Wednesday estate sale today and picked up a ton of stuff including these beauties. While these won't be in the shop until next week, I did just add a ton of new stuff before I left yesterday so be sure to stop in and see Cheyenne this Friday and Saturday.

Heading back to see my mom today but spent all day yesterday and this morning putting out new arrivals and pricing a big shelf full of items for Cheyenne to put out. Here are just a few pics. My favorite is probably the antique Empire writing desk. The Sunbonnet Sue quilt, mid-century Lane Cedar chest, and the Jeddie Hensley painted griddle are standouts too. See anything you like? Open Friday and Saturday 11:00 to 4:00.

All I could do was laugh the other day when a woman visiting from out of town somewhat rudely suggested to me that I "just go and buy these things at yard sales and then bring them to the shop and mark them up." Welp, while this is occasionally true when luck is on my side, for the most part, she couldn't be more wrong. For every successful yard sale I stop by, I've driven to two or three where I've bought nothing, often because people are already asking shop prices from their homes. For every one piece that I bring in that does not require work, there are five or six that need to be repaired, stripped, refinished, de-stained, scrubbed, laundered, etc. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love what I do and feel fortunate to have been born into a family who has done this since the 1960s. I'm just making the point that there is no "just" in buying and selling old stuff, there is definitely a lot of time and work involved (and a shout out to my husband for helping with the many projects). I was reminded of all of this this weekend when I had to soak this beautiful tablecloth in 2 rounds of oxygen cleaner to remove the severe orangish-brown stains that had developed from being in a smoker's home for decades. Can you believe how brown that water is?

While I started by mentioning the snide remark that was made, I'll finish by saying this is definitely the exception to the kindness, love, and support we feel from so many of you on a regular basis. We are so incredibly grateful.

IMO, vintage tole trays never go out of style but I'm giving you all a heads up, they're going to take off again like crazy as they did in the late 90s when everyone was showing off their tole tray walls. My favorite thing about these beautiful trays, many of which were hand-painted in the 1940s and 50s, is that it doesn't seem to matter how many scratches, chips, or worn areas they have, they still display beautifully.

I am so incredibly out of the loop on trends and I so appreciate that my cool, hip friends keep me up to date. Never in my life had I heard of flat lay Friday before yesterday when Christi at Steadfast Vintage filled me in. Sometimes I need to know about these trends just to help break the monotony of constantly pricing and putting stuff out. This is my first attempt and while I'm not sure if the bichromatic palette is boring, it's what I came up with in a few minutes.

Can't wait to see you tomorrow!! Open Saturday August 29 from 11-4.

Alrighty friends, occasionally I make posts that have little to do with the shop but everything to do with looking out for one another. It seems the scammers are at it again and going harder than ever. If you are an Autumn Days vendor (or a vendor at any market for that matter), please be aware of the scams requesting money for spaces. These scammers message, pretending to be affiliated with the market, and request payment. They like to use scare tactics to! make you think you might miss out on your space. As with any suspicious message on any platform, it's always best to look up the contact information of someone that you are certain is affiliated with the m@arket and message them directly. Do not respond to the scammers!

Please help spread the word!
