All4Pottery: I am finally back... from H114 to H119

Well, I have been to Japan and back since I was last here. Just a couple of days after I got home, my neighbor told me a new antique store was opened where The Pantry (my favorite discount grocery store) was located. It is just off the 101 freeway at Tefft Avenue in Nipomo, CA in the Taco Bell shopping center. To say the least, my job has changed.

Angie really drug my kicking, screaming "I can't do this just yet" body down to the store. Having Fibromyalgia, I knew it was going to takes weeks to recuperate. Mind over matter, if you don't mind it won't matter, "As long as I don't have to drive" I thought. Well, within minutes, we were signing our names on a piece of paper and committed to renting a spot at Nipomo Antique Emporium. That has been 3 months ago, now.

I had been going through my pottery collection rather slowly. (I was cleaning the garage and was set on knowing what we had in six cubic feet of cardboard.) When I needed to know the inventory mass scale, I set up a open, sort, photograph and inventory system for my Hull Pottery. Everything else (on one wall) went into mass blue plastic bins that were sorted by collections. There are doll collections, marble collections, camera collections, toy collections, Wades Miniatures collections, comics collections. (Archie, Richie Rich, and some old Tweety and Sylvester, Bugs Bunny type.) Milk Glass, Festival glass, and various other household items collected over the years in those bins that need to be inventoried too. And the attic! Oh my, if I start to think of the job ahead, I may not continue.

That is just inventoried. You see, I have also decided to research each one and its current value. It would be best to know now before I collect anymore, and get it into some form where I can restock my little space in paradise. Then, so as not to leave my daughters with anything other than great memories, I plan to use all the money from selling my stuff and taking us all on a family trip to Hawaii. (They will probably have grandchildren by then, but the more the merrier...)

It is Wednesday night on July 31st. Our daughter, Sasha, will be home from Japan in a few days. I can not wait for her to see the garage. (And try to find the boxes we stored there from when she moved a year ago.) The sun is setting and it is strangely quiet out.

I have some more pictures of Hull Pottery to post today. And since we are switching computers, I am setting up a "Dropbox" account so you don't have to read anymore of my ramblings if you want to just look at pictures. Oops. I just found mistakes in my file folders, so that may be postponed for a few more days of technical delays.

I think I left off at H114 but I can not find a picture of it.. OOPS. So here are a few more, and I will try to end at H118, as H119 was sold at the antique store..
