What have I been up to? Shipping stuff, sourcing and hunting down items, refurnishing/cleaning up antiques, listing items for sale, marketing, answering a million questions, and getting very little sleep. I need 3 clones of myself 😭😭😭 #antiques #girlboss #fml

Six months after Alice witnessed Trent break into her antique store and die on the floor, business has been strangely calm—aside from the ghosts, her watchful neighbor Dahlia, and David, the reaper who lingers nearby with his hellhound, Scorch.

When a promising estate sale in nearby Gainesville draws Alice and Dahlia in, what should have been a routine inventory run takes a dark turn. Among the antiques are objects tied to forbidden rituals—items capable of pulling the dead back into the living world.

Soon after, another body appears in Alice’s shop.

With the blood moon approaching, Alice and Dahlia uncover the truth: the powerful Gallant family has been quietly continuing a deadly tradition—and Alice may be the final piece they need to complete it.

If they fail to stop the ritual, the dead won’t be the only ones rising… and they may not survive to see the aftermath.

Antiques lose appeal as modern tastes, mass production, and lifestyle shifts reduce demand. Furniture, glassware, jewelry, clocks, and rugs fall in value due to minimalist design trends, reproductions, high restoration costs, and market saturation. Only rare, high-quality pieces retain collector interest; most others see weaker demand and resale value.

updated my desk: "third" monitor in the right compartment - I love the modern tech in combination with the old writing desk. Ideas on what to put around the vertical monitor? I have some wood from the shelves that used to be where the monitor is. Or the red fake leather like the writing area?

This is the ultimate in table top bling. When it worked, it would have rolled forward on its wheels, playing music, to which the figures on deck would dance. Then the front cannon would fire, lighting a fuse that caused all the other cannons to go off too. The sailors in the crows nests would ring the quarter and half hours on their upturned bells. And the Holy Roman Emperor watched a procession of guests from his throne on the poop deck. #antiques #history #art
LOL, it really is good I don't have a barn. These things are so tempting. #antiques

This is still excellent advice.

Things to Do
1. Look for beautiful stones.
2. Look for flat stones.
3. Look for round stones.
4. Look for other interesting things.

I've always been a sucker for antique & vintage glassware, primarily dishes.

Each time I'd visit my dad & stepmom in Arkansas the 3 of us would visit antique shops & estate sales

They're gone so I don't have a reason to visit the state any more. Antique shopping experience is poor where I live

After my dad died I picked up a few things from his collection (he liked dishes too 🙂). Pictured is a light green bread/dessert plate from the 1930's or earlier
