Last we met it was July and here it is October. The summer came and went and the days are getting shorter. Lots going on my in day job, was offered a new position and I couldn't refuse it so Monday I have a new manager and a new role where I get to utilize my creativity in my corporate world. I'm looking forward to this new position and I will be working with my old team from 2017 so it's kinda like the "band getting back together." </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">In addition, this 67-year-old gal has become an "influencer" for <a href="https://wunderkeks.com/?gclid=CjwKCAjwtfqKBhBoEiwAZuesiB_xg0gZB1lGtROSQAZHnx_ZyyLVvSrTBvTlldKZnUjEmFOKkqB8HRoCFyIQAvD_BwE" target="_blank">Wunderkeks</a> cookies. Yes, an influencer at my age, who'da thunk. It came about in the oddest way. I had arranged for Wunderkeks cookies to be delivered to my colleagues on behalf of our manager as a thank you for the work we do. They were so good and as a way to say thank you to our manager, I created a thank you video, and I then sent it to Wunderkeks to share how much we enjoyed them.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="332" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uGKlgvwFPZs" width="399" youtube-src-id="uGKlgvwFPZs"></iframe></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Next thing I know I am contacted by the owners of Wunderkeks that they enjoyed the video so much and asked if I would like to be an influencer for their brand. I shared that I have a pretty small social media footprint but they saw something in my video that they needed to explore so a month later, I'm sent a box of their cookies and asked to participate in a pompom challenge along with their stable of much younger influencers. I'm game...</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="339" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8W5onOqaLos" width="408" youtube-src-id="8W5onOqaLos"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">What I really like about Wunderkeks cookies is that each are individually wrapped making them perfect to give away as thank you's...also great to take boating, kayaking, tubing as well. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iLhuZCLxQ40/YV-WaKwaREI/AAAAAAAAUng/39K6Tz95zsQQcuXjf-5dntG80i1NWsYbACLcBGAsYHQ/s1589/Deliverythanks07182021%2B2.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1416" data-original-width="1589" height="356" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iLhuZCLxQ40/YV-WaKwaREI/AAAAAAAAUng/39K6Tz95zsQQcuXjf-5dntG80i1NWsYbACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h356/Deliverythanks07182021%2B2.PNG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial;">With our hot and humid Florida weather, I began leaving a couple of cold bottles of water and cookies for the FedEx, UPS, USPS, and Amazon delivery folks.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="346" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5zZ9wTD4iVY" width="416" youtube-src-id="5zZ9wTD4iVY"></iframe></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">A month later, another promo and it was my favorite so far.

My day job employer has gone through yet another reorganization and I'm on a new team again of which I'm not really feeling them. They just don't communicate and it's not a happy/fun group to be with. I'm hoping things will change for the better. Still, I receive so much joy with my booth spaces at the Lyon's Head Antique Mall and the dealers and owners there. We all have such a good time together and we have just begun our Christmas in July month long event. Hoping everyone who reads this is healthy and happy and enjoying the summer and as always, blessings to you and those you love.

I turned around in December and now it's already February in a new year. Where did January go? This pandemic working from home and with so many small businesses shuttered has the days just blending together into long weeks that I don't even know what time of day it is at times. With a new year comes another reorganization at my "day" job so I'm on my 9th manager in 4 years, another new role and we start all over again with a new organization. Oh, if I could only retire, sigh. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Still, the weekends are always generous with Goodwill hunting and visits to my favorite haunts for treasure.

Like so many, I just want 2020 to be over. I want COVID to go away, I want our economy to return to where it was in March, I want the small businesses that are struggling to become prosperous again and those that closed, reopened with a new start. I want schools reopened so our young people can socialize and get back to their education. I want people to be kind again. I want, I want, I want. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I actually do feel better, just writing this down and I give these wants over to God and ask for his blessings to all as we end 2020 and enter 2021. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I've been on shutdown mode as my company closes a day before Christmas and then reopens again on January 3rd.

I am grateful that in spite of COVID, sales at the Lyon's Head Antique Mall have been the best in three years. I suspect that antique/vintage shops have become the new entertainment with conversations around the history of things we offer. I have noticed more and more families coming to visit and the conversations are around, "Dad, did you have this when you were a kid?" or "Mom, what is this?"

I was looking for an odd size door to replace the bifolds to my guest hallway linen closet. It is a small door and I despise the present bifolds. Finally, a door that measured 18" by 80" came in and it is like a french door layout. My next home project is to bleach the wood and do a faux mercury glass mirror finish on the clear windows. That will come in the next few weeks so you will have to wait to see it.

It was a perfect weekend. Back to work on Tuesday and I have to say, I love the four day work week following a Monday holiday, but my heart was still not ready for business so four days felt like 10 days of Mondays. </span><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">This weekend it poured both days so I ran errands and hit a few of my local haunts to find treasure.

The little antique shop had it marked way down in price and I had to make the purchase. I still have it and love the piece and when I saw this beauty, I was just as excited. Two of the drawer trays have slotted squares for tiny items and the remaining four are open. I'm thinking of filling them with my bone and ivory crochet hooks. I have nearly 100 and this will be a perfect place for them all.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">It was a wonderful weekend albeit a rainy one but as long as water is involved that this seawitch is happy.

I miss the freedom of movement of when I want and where I want and I miss chatting with friends and strangers mask free, I miss the movie theater experience and I miss my knitting and spinning time with friends. I miss, I miss, I miss and I know, dear readers, you have your own miss list. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The only upside to all of this is the Lyon's Head antique mall, where I have my spaces, has seen a huge uptick in sales and especially, high end sales. Since May, my monthly ticket sales have nearly doubled and this is echoed by the other dealers there as well. What we have agreed upon is that with everything else closed, antique shops have been the new entertainment and people are visiting. They can stroll through and relieve items from their childhood and share that experience with their children and friends. They enjoy learning about items they have never seen before and even though the conversation is behind a mask, there is such enjoyable rep-ore for both the visitors and the dealers and we as dealers always love hearing the stories behind what people collect or reminisce about what they used or played with.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mMaeqe2RvYw/XzIBLFNuQsI/AAAAAAAATgI/UgIqPmp8IrkwASebyH5Qpy-L1uoCt2hmwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1024/0F40A09B-0C5B-42F0-AA3A-A5A281FF7A81_1_105_c.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="768" height="512" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mMaeqe2RvYw/XzIBLFNuQsI/AAAAAAAATgI/UgIqPmp8IrkwASebyH5Qpy-L1uoCt2hmwCLcBGAsYHQ/w384-h512/0F40A09B-0C5B-42F0-AA3A-A5A281FF7A81_1_105_c.jpeg" width="384" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">One of the few pieces of vintage clothing I could not get on this tiny dress form.

This bad boy is heavy and 5/8 inch thick with hand cut, deep spectrum throwing lines. Now, this bowl has an issue, a surface crack the length of the bowl most likely from being dropped and that is why I was able to purchase it for $4.00. That little issue doesn't concern me as it is such a big and beautiful bowl and it will hold a lot of M&Ms.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So here we are in August. I still feel like we have lost most of 2020 and cannot even wrap my arms around that the year will end in less than 5 months. So with that said, I wish you all a gentle August and a healthy one.

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">We are entering the 5th month of living with the COVID over our heads and the days all seem to roll into one very long month. We are slowly reopening in North Florida with social distancing protocols in place and mask wearing. With many of the outside activities limited we have found that at the Lyon's Head Antique Mall a resurgence of customers both new and those who visit often. We have become the new entertainment and with that increased sales. People long for conversation and dealers love talking about the history of the items that we sell. This makes me happy for our dealers and others in the business. Our neighbor, Junk Co. echoes the same experience that sales are doing well. In fact, when the stimulus checks were received, many were used in our shops. This is what I had done with my stimulus check. I really wanted to put it back into the economy and use it at small, local businesses so on a June visit to "The Junk Co.," I saw a magnificent Irish cupboard without the doors on it and stopped dead in my tracks. This was everything I needed for my kitchen and would free up the limited counter space that I had. But what would this beauty cost me and I'm afraid I thought it would be way out of my budget range. When I saw the price tag my heart went pitter patter and it would also allow me to use most of my stimulus check on a purchase from a small business. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">So what I came home with is a stunning, wormy pine, Irish cupboard circa 1840s. The original owner was from Ireland and she had it shipped from Ireland to the US in the 1970s. It was hers until she passed earlier this year. Sadly, no one in the immediate family wanted it so it was sold to a dealer who brought it into the antique store I purchased it at.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> I can't swoon enough over this beautiful piece with lots of cupboard space. I was able to empty my limited counter space of the antique mason jars filled with flours, grains, pastas, rices, and cereals and store them within. I have to say that every time I open the doors I think of the kitchen in the movie, Practical Magic. Truly, there is magic within this cupboard.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">This cupboard is a rich golden color and I adore all of the wormy trails in the wood. Now I'm going through my many antique keys to see if any will lock the drawers and the doors.</span></div>

Mad love for this Arts and Crafts influence, hand hammered copper candelabra. Circa 1910-20s. This was almost a keeper but I brought it into the shop as quick as I could. I had found one of these years ago and a colleague grabbed it up for their home. So glad to find another one.</div>

Not only at my spaces at the Lyon's Head Antique Mall but also my Girdle Gals etsy shop. I am grateful for this and most appreciative of all those who have purchased my items.</span></div>

Enough. Let us all come together to "hear" what the other has to say and walk away with insight and peace and brotherhood. I close in the way I have since I first began blogging years ago. Blessings to you and those you love. SeaWitch</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Oh, how I missed my booth spaces and our customers these past 6 weeks but our governor has initiated the first phase to opening the economy with a soft open for retail stores. So this Monday, we open our doors again. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The one positive thing about the shutdown for me was that it allowed me to move from my original space into a new location in my happy place, the Lyon's Head Antique Mall. We are open 7 days a week so moving or even updating your space can be difficult. With the shutdown this was an opportunity to prep my new space and move everything over from my old into my new without having to move around customers.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Those three words I long to hear, "Table or Booth?" So waiting for the seIf isolation restrictions to slowly lift. Let me at least share that I am blessed and have it much easier than many others. I already work remotely so this was not a transition for me. In addition, I live in Florida where I have a small pool so I can spend time in an outdoor living space. Between the pool and my spinning wheels and my antiquing, I've got plenty to keep me busy but I miss my social time at local restaurants. You get to know the people who work there, the owners, the wait staff, the line cooks, etc. You become part of a local, extended family and I miss this. In addition, I miss the hunt. The search for treasure where I can touch things, pick them up and hold them in my hands. Like so many others, I haunt the facebook business pages and purchase from the images and then make a trip to curbside pickup with local businesses. Such a different world these days.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was taking video of booth spaces in the Lyon's Head Antique Mall last Saturday and saw that our neighbor shop, Junk Co. was upcycling furniture pieces while a dealer was bringing in new items to their booth space. I took a walk over after taking the video clips and was able to find a bit of treasure. Have to say it was odd walking into both the Lyon's Head Antique Mall and Junk Co., which are large spaces, and other than the owners not a soul in sight. My footsteps echoed throughout both shops.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I will clean them and price them and get them ready to take into my space when we can reopen. I hope that will be soon as I miss all of the dealers and shoppers and my spaces. So I wish for all to remain healthy and this virus disappear so we can return to our jobs and our lives and the friendships we have made over the years. Blessings to you and those you love.

Yes, I get it, we have to close to keep this virus in check but it still has me worried about all of the small businesses that may not make it through this financially. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Had to pick up bolts for a glider loveseat so it was off to the Home Depot. They now have reduced hours and only allows 200 people in their store at a time. The line to get in wrapped around their building. I parked the car and got in line. Everyone was standing 6-10 feet away from each other and the sun was blazing down on everyone.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Home Depot folks passed out bottles of icy cold water to everyone waiting in line. They had associates at one entrance and exit and as people exited the building new shoppers were let in. They had sanitized carts inside for us as well. Have to say that Home Depot really had this well thought out. One of my projects for my home, this year, was to finally tackle the really odd sized and ugly outdoor atrium that is between the two bathrooms. The homes in my community were built in the 1970s and they thought a "Florida room or atrium" was unique. However, they are all odd sizes and they left them with the sandy outside without any kinds of flooring. This is the mess I inherited and it's the first thing you see when you enter my front door. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Most folks pour a concrete floor but then it looks like an afterthought and without drainage for the rainy season.

I'm finishing up this blog on the last day of January 2020...another month that has flown by with February here tomorrow. Did you know that this is a Leap Year? Lucky us, we gain an additional day this year so my wish is extra blessings to you and those you love. Sea Witch</span></div>

In the center of the shop is a huge table filled with knitters and crocheters. So much joy and creativity around this table. Please note that this image is taken from A Stitch Witch facebook page as I did not want to take a photo without the knitters confirmation. The next time I have a weekday off, I am going to visit and join this table for knitting and conversation.</div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Well, maybe not roaring but for some reason the sound and look of 2020 just makes me happy. First I must share that I am thankful for a good 2019. I am still employed at a good company and happily working from home. My sons and their families are doing well and my grandchildren are more joyful then ever. My extended family is doing well and my sister is a few hours away. I so enjoy my spaces at the Lyon's Head Antique mall and the owners and other dealers who are my second family. Of course, my sweet Gynness is getting more of a foamy face as she ages but Florida agrees with her and she runs amuck and rules the house. </span></div>

Sis came up to visit and we laid around like third base enjoying each others company, laughing like school girls until we ached and eating Christmas cookies in the pool. After sis went home, I visited a few local haunts, priced items, began listing in my new Etsy shop, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/GirdleGalsFashion" target="_blank">Girdle Gals Fashion</a> and refilled my booth spaces.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I stumbled upon a nice group of nesting boxes with an old school look. I snagged them for such a great price that I'm passing it on to my customers and have them priced to move.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As I child, my family visited the NY Worlds Fair almost every weekend during its two years existence. The Vatican Pavilion was a family favorite and where I saw Michelangelo's Pieta many times. As a young girl, even then this extraordinary sculpture impacted me. I had a tiny chalk figurine many years ago and it got lost over the years. Was delighted to find this much larger, resin cast figurine with lovely details. This is now in my home and brings me joy and fond memories.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It was a busy, busy weekend for me...had to paint the new molding in the guest bedroom as I had the existing carpet removed and new flooring laid. Of course, that meant I could not return the furniture to the room until the painting was completed. Additionally, they did not have enough molding to complete the walk in closet so I have to wait until Wednesday for them to complete it. So I live with bedroom pieces all around me until the job is and the paint fully dried. The present inconvenience will be worth it, though.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am also partaking in a Minimalist Game at my job. Beginning on Oct 1st, you find at least one item to remove from your home...donate it, toss it, sell it. As you progress through the month of October, each day you add that amount of removing items from your home. This is a great way to "push" you into getting rid of items you have squirreled away and no longer need. Well, this weekend, I finally tackled the 20 bins of high end clothing I had that I had as part of my consignment space in Atlanta. Where I live in Florida there are no high end consignment shops so these items have sat for nearly 3 years I pulled out bins and had 366 items to donate to a Women in Transition organization that will give these lovely clothes rather then sell them. I am so excited to pass these on to women who can use them.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Finally, the Lyon's Head Antique Mall held their first Sidewalk Sale of the season and I had to take pictures and live video for the facebook page. Well, this really isn't a chore and I always look forward to it.</span></div>

Rogers silverplate in marvelous condition and a price that I couldn't walk away

<span style="background: white;">Junk Co. never disappoints and I came home with a
prize for my kitchen...an antique, tine egg/creamer hand crank whipper by
Fries. Circa 1890, this is a great piece and in perfect working
(whipping) condition. I also found this nifty miniature horn with seven
leadpipes (one is missing). Would love to know what type of pocket horn
this is.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Fall came to Florida this weekend and it was gorgeous. Little to no humidity, lower temps at night, clear blue skies and other than the pesky "love bugs" we couldn't have asked for a more lovely weekend. One of my favorite "true" antique shops, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/blackoakantiques/" target="_blank">Black Oak Antiques</a>, Weeki Wachee, was having their annual Fall Antique Market and it is always filled with sales, antiques, repurposed pieces and home baked goods.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My most favorite item at Black Oak Antiques, this amazing sperm whale weather vane. Oh, if I ever win the lottery in a big way, this will be the first item I splurge on. I just adore this in every way but it is so far from my budget I just have to dream. Ahhh, but it is good to dream. From here I moved on to my usual haunts for treasure hunting and I found some goodness to bring home.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I hit the mother lode at my local thrift store with these five, antique miniature oil lamps. I'm head over teakettle in love with the Goofus cabbage roses base. The gold and red, cold paint is long gone and the glass has turned that lovely sun purple. The small milk glass one also has my heart...what to do, what to do? Oh, the struggle is real.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I truly hated to see the weekend end, it was so perfect in weather, chatting with friends, finding treasure to both keep and to sell. My life may seem small to many but it is a gentle one and I am a happy girl so with that I wish blessings to you and those you love. </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Sea Witch</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I adore living in Florida but I must share that I do miss the color explosion of fall. There is something magical about leaves changing their colors, pumpkins in funny shapes and sizes and in a range of pastel colors, crisp apples fresh from the trees and hot cider donuts fresh from the fat to the plate. The best that I can do is make the cider donuts and decorate with faux pumpkins and then enjoy a Florida harvest of finds at my local haunts.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">These vintage stacked pumpkins with the lights inside were 1980s decorating favorites. This one still has the bright florescent orange paint.</span></div>

E<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">veryone loves the popular, Lefton turkeys that were salt and pepper shakers, planters and napkin holders. I now have my mother's set and use at Thanksgiving, but I love it when I find these Lefton pieces to share in my booth space. This Tom actually looks pretty happy sitting in a mid century pedestal compote.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Whenever I find quality silverplate or pewter I always think of my Atlanta, antique gal pal, Rose, who always finds/sells the prettiest silver for her space called Silver Glory. I do miss her lovely spaces as I always found a treasure or two. I acquired this set of four, Woodbury Pewter plates at my local thrift store. Made in the USA, they are known for their high quality. Perfect for setting your Thanksgiving table. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This Victorian smelling salts/vinaigrette is the first I have ever found. Sterling cap, it is missing the screw cap at the other end. Lovely cut crystal, this is a marvelous find and I will keep if for a while. I would love to find a cap for the other end so that hunt now begins. The p of smelling salts are to around consciousness and are centuries old with found documentation as early as the Romans using them. They are meant to help revive those that are faint of nerves or those that need some extra oxygen flow to help with breathing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In no particular order, these were Goodwill finds, a teeny tiny vintage, oil can and a charming, souvenir cup and saucer in a Scottish thistle design. Most likely imported from Germany.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">and finally, I actually harvested a pumpkin....well, not a pumpkin but a huge, dried gourd shaped like a pumpkin. This is the only decorative pumpkin I can use in our hot and humid weather without the pumpkin imploding in three days. LOL. </span></div>
