Getting Ready for Hico

First of all , let me say this: This is my FOURTH time to do this post with all of these pictures!!!!! Somehow, everytime I would get ready to publish it, the post would be deleted. If it deletes this time, you may be reading about a woman who snapped and shot her computer. With all of that said, I now feel better. Ok, here we go...Yesterday, I rolled up my sleeves and attempted to tackle the mess and chaos in my garage...... meaning the stuff going to the Hico Antique Market on Oct. 28th and 29th. My friend Carol and I will be doing the show for the second time and it's a great show, indeed!! After about 4 hours, my mission was accomplished, and I had sorted, tweeked, repaired, etc. my goods. Even took a few pics of my favorite things. Trust me, this is the tip of the iceberg. Hope you enjoy!!!
Metal mailbox unit with numbered doors. Love it!
More galvanized metal and more cubbies in this unique piece.
Beautiful....old....amd large suitcase. It even has exterior travel stickers to tell of its journeys.
Original linen lining with pockets. It's hard for me to let this beauty go!
Old feather pillows, anyone???Cute little ice cream parlor chair....
And some touches of blue , too!
