    Um…..I think we can all agree on a couple of things… Amanda is not only hilarious but talented as well! AND, the gold mirror is gorgeous!! I’m loving these weekly videos for sure Amanda!!

    I love your videos. I had an antique store for 20 years and then sold my buildings. I now have 2 booths in an antique mall 45 min from me. I am also currently going thru my bins of stuff and tossing,donating and categorizing items for the booths. I know people have NO idea how much time and work goes into this business. I am trying not to spend more money on inventory until I get rid of my excess,like you.
    It is difficult .
    Please keep being real.
    It puts a smile on my face every time I see you!

      I retired from the military after 25 years and found myself unable to work. I decided to get a booth and you are correct it is work and many don’t realize the work that goes into it. My family gives me such a hard time about this newly found hobby. They feel I should get a ‘real’ job😂 if only they knew.

      @@b.l.wilson9724 It always boggles my mind why people are so concerned about what we're doing for work. I own a vintage clothing and home decor ecom and it's amazing how many people opine about getting a "real job" they literally have no idea how much work this all is. And as long as it is paying the bills, why do they care?

    Re. Book Slide - Having investigated previously, prices are consistently high for ones like yours. Think value lies in the adjustability and the brass detail is particularly pretty, which suspect indicates older, better quality example. Modern ones are "just not built the same!"
    The mirror is gorgeous and the hail stones are astonishing?! Wow! You really have adventures! So glad both you and your sister are faring well at the booth, in difficult times. Thanks for the fun videos.

    I was cracking up laughing at your story about snatching your cat. And those hailstones! Yikes 😳! Love how you share all the pictures and prices of your inventory and yes…I’m a bibliophile…that bookend was unique but not four hundred dollar unique. When buying bookends I stay in the 35-45 dollar range. I have an art deco set I paid $50. I think your pricing is spot on (from a buyer’s point of view) Thanks for the quality (& funny) content!

    You might want to have your roof checked for hail damage. Sometimes it’s not obvious unless a professional gets up there and inspects. The roof on my house was replaced several years ago because of hail like that, and there were dozens of areas where it had damaged the shingles, which I couldn’t see from the ground.

    I have a booth at an Antique mall as well. I always list my larger items on FBMP. However I get a lot of scammers on there and it only seems like it is getting worse. However I do what you did. I just say all items must be purchased threw the antique mall, then I add the mall’s information. If they are for real they will go to the mall or call the mall for more information. Usually this leads to a no response.
    I also put in every listing I post the malls info. And kindly ask them to come into the mall, or contact the mall for more information.
    The scamming is so sad. However the true people who are legit make it worth while to continue to post to FBMP. I have two booths at my center. 1 is more home goods and the other is clothing. I kill it on the clothing. I think you are totally right about the younger generation.
    Great video as always.

In a 2-story log house without a basement but with a metal roof smack dab in the middle of meadows In the country just waiting for a lightening strike and/or a fire! Nervous! And where I am they set off the sirens at noon and in the evening and it is the same siren sound that always served as a warning siren everywhere else I've lived. Ha!
