The party's over....it's time to call it a day..Well...almost! I still have another building to clean out at the fairgrounds and I am NOT looking forward to that.......Thanks to all of you who turned out for the WildHare FleaMarket.....great fun and some great deals. In fact, I was surprised when I cleaned out my car yesterday morning......I found more deals than I thought!!

On to my next HUGE venture......A WildHare Estate sale that will blow your socks off...I hope to have pictures posted by next week and give you more details about the sale. You won't want to miss this one.......And sorry to bring this up, but due to the nature of this sale....there are many, many priceless antiques....I will have to ask you to leave your children under 12 at home. It would make you crazy to have them there anyway!! Really.......you would be a nervous wreck!!! I will post again soon about the sale........

To be continued!!!

OK.....I will admit it. I am a "Trophy Hunter!!!" When I find a piece of used furniture at a sale.....or in the dumpster......or any of the other places that I haunt.....and whether it is an antique or something more recent, my heart skips a beat. Then my mind races through the repertoire of ideas for repurposing, rejuvenating, recreating, renewing or reinventing and refashioning, then redoing it only to rediscover what a piece has the potential to be. The thrill of the hunt is really an amazing feeling. Then the feeling that comes when the piece turns into something that I can't believe that I lived for so long without.......well......there is nothing quite like it!

Now you too can experience "The Trophy Hunt!" At the WildHare Antique Sale and FleaMarket......Saturday, October 23rd 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM and Sunday, October 24th 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM. Bannock County Fairgrounds in Pocatello. Many of your favorite local antique dealers will be there, including, but not limited to (of course because I don't know who your personal favorites are) Her Alibi Antique Store, PK Enterprises, Angels and Old Lace, Haf and Haf Antiques, and many more. If I start really naming names I am sure to leave someone out and I don't want to do that!!! I can assure you though......you will have lots of potential trophies to sort through. As most of you know....we don't just have antiques there....You can find anything collectible.....vintage lace to vintage tools....books....glass...jewelry......fishing equipment....all of the ephemera you can think of.....and much, much more. You will just have to come and feast your eyes and go on the hunt! Don't forget...you can also buy new products there....bags to benches.......jewelry to candles....

You will also be able to have lunch there......provided by a Rodeo Queen fundraiser from firth. Treats and beverages also available.

If you have questions or want more details....please call me.......251.4984! See you there........By the way......there is a $1 admission with kids under 12 free with an adult......

There is absolutely no way to explain in a few words about the estate sale that I am working on........It is massive! I think that you will all be amazed......that is the only word for it......really......amazingly amazing.!! It doesn't matter if you collect vintage pottery or antique horse gear....you will be able to find it at this sale. Along with more glassware than you see in most antique stores...furniture that will make your eyes water.......and everything in between! I love going to this house and working on this estate! How lucky is that? A beautiful home to work in.......perfect setting.....and the loveliest antiques that I have ever seen. Talk about having the wants.....How could I not want everything there? Including the house!! I can hardly wait to share it all with you.......please save the date when I can finally set it!!! Until then......just know that it is everything and more than I have told you!

Between now and the estate sale (which will probably at least start in November) I am having the WildHareAntique Sale and FleaMarket. October 23rd and 24th......watch the paper and tv for the ads....And watch for new posters up in lots of places. My son-in-law, the artist....is working on a new one for me as we speak. I can hardly wait to see it myself...Save the Date cards will be available at most of the Antique Stores around town and if I can sit still for a bit I may even have a contest (at those same antique stores) to win some Gift Certificates for the flea market......to be spent at any of the vendors there!!! I actually haven't talked to the antique store owners yet! I am fairly certain that they will like the idea though.......Any of you dealers out there with an opinion?!!!

I would also like to take a short (in days) trip to California. Lots of my family will be at Disneyland the week after the WHFM and I would love to fly out to spend a bit of time with them.....sounds like a perfect time to go to Disneyland too.......last time was in the middle of the summer and it was crowded, but fun......Keep your fingers crossed for me that I can make all of that work!!!

Well my feet are killing me.....I have been on them for hours and hours the last couple of weeks......and I am too tired to think.........

So.........to be continued........

P.S. I still have the garage and shop full of stuff.......anyone interested in some furniture? I think that I am taking the smaller items to auction.......Furniture includes, but not limited to: A darling twin bedroom set.....tables.....an old wooden file cabinet.....shabby chic dresser.....lamps....and more....maybe I will have a sale in a week or so. Maybe not though.........I'll keep you all posted!!!
