99.9 The Hawk Spring Cleaning Yard Sale

The breeze was chilly, but the sun was illuminating all the treasures.  A bowl of Star Wars figurines sat on the table.  Hands rummaged through them as if it were a candy bowl looking for their favorite flavor.  There were tables of old tools, aged with laborious hours, toys of yesteryear, handcrafted jewelry, and ceramic knickknacks spread across the parking lot waiting to be reclaimed and re-purposed. … Continue reading 99.9 The Hawk Spring Cleaning Yard Sale

The 15th Annual “Heart of the Valley” Antique Show

“How do you decipher the age of these materials?” It was then you saw how passionate she was. The twinkle the eye of someone when they share a bit of themselves.  She went on to impart a bit of history and craftsmanship from many moons ago. The “Heart of the Valley” Antique Show provided an afternoon full of intrigue.  First, was the location. This was my first time … Continue reading The 15th Annual “Heart of the Valley” Antique Show
