I too would go back to that house and see if they want to sell more stuff. Your job really is free as can be. And so divers! 😃 🛻 Can't wait to come along for the Daimler restoration either. And the VW's, and whatever else you line up for fixin' haha. Thank you for taking us along!

Sears Christmas catalogs, we would wait all year for this catalog to arrive. Mom would let each one of us go through the book and circle everything we wanted and put our name on them. Then mom and dad would do some of their shopping from the catalog. So many hours spent looking at every page in the catalog, and being disappointed when I got to the boy stuff sections.

I have an old stuffed Lassie toy dog that still has the paper label tied around his neck from my Uncle. My Uncle Ken took great care of his toys as a kid. He's still the same way with everything he owns. I think some people are just more conscious about their belongings, especially if they grew up poor, because owning a toy was more special. My Nan and Pop had 9 kids (7 surrvived past childhood). They couldn't afford much, but they worked their tails off to provide for their family. Nan lugged water and made bread everyday, and Pop worked at the shipyard all day long and worked hard to build the home outside. Lots of great memories of playing at Nan's house but not a lot of toys kicking around...we played with grown-up things and made our own fun outside. Anyways, these toys reminded me of my Lassie dog and brought back great memories. thanks 🥰

As I watched you unboxing treasures you found to pass along, it occured to me that this, your vehicle restorations, your house buyouts/cleanings, and the knowledge you pass on to us all, about the antiques and collectables you love, and the extreme generosity and kindness you show to everyone you meetis exactly why I, and so many others, love to wactch your vlog. It really wasn't about your shop at all. In fact, I believe it started to hold you back from what you love....hunting for, and saving antiques, and helping others is what you're gifted by God to do. No longer will you be so controlled by the need to be at the store. You're free, now, to continue the hunt for treasure, and you've realized the greatest treasure is the time spent with family, because time seems to fly by and before you know it, y

God Bless you and your beautiful family. I'm looking forward to many more exciting adventures to come!

Sears catalogues were the best part of the Christmas season. It was so magical to look through them to pick a new outfit and yes, circle all the toys I dreamed of. I still get an excited feeling looking at the old ones today. I collect old Mattel dolls and Barbies so the catalogues are indeed a great reference to have.

A few months back, as you were planning and siting the new house on your land, I recommended you leave a route to the back of your land to access a second future building and space to turn around trucks and trailers. No matter what their final destination, I always found it easier to bring Purchased loads home, for cleaning, processing and any needed repairs before distribution. Now that the store is closing, you might consider that additional building on your site. I suggest a large, tall Pole Barn style to house your buying and selling.

My then husband and I was very broke. So they threw my son a party:-) He's 45 yrs old now:-) And he has his baby book, which has the card in it:-) How much does a vintage Post mag go for these days? The stories I could tell............lol:-) The publishing company's wife was such a trip, that job was NEVER boring, that's for sure:-) Nice scores!

It did seem to me that you became more interested in the quick turnaround from the auctions. Waiting for merchandise to find its forever home can become a very expensive proposition and probably the undoing of many antique and specialty stores. how many times can you move, rearrange, dust, and polish the same merchandise and find that your life is fulfilling? I am happy that you have found a way to do what you do in a way that is satisfying for you. On the road again.

Carried gun cases filled with layers of egg crate foam. Hmmmm... don't think that would be acceptable today🤣🤣. He's been gone 18yrs. They stay with us. Look for dimes. They say loved ones leave money to show you their presence. I collect the dimes I find. They are only a breath away. Ty again for showing the sort. Explaining well whst you see.
