Looking out the attic window

Wow! Sure is getting chilly outside. The attic wench has a great view from the attic window this fall. She can see the trees turning bright red, orange and yellow from where she sits on a dusty old bench up here in the attic. She's been rather wistful lately. Her sister left for Florida for the winter and that makes her a little sad since they're like best friends and they both share a love of antiques. The attic wench always has mixed feelings about the summer's end partly because she can now relax after a hectic summer but she knows she won't see many of her flea market buddies until next spring. However, she keeps busy sorting and dusting off all the old junque scattered around under these old rafters.

With colder weather setting in it's time to concentrate more on getting the eBay store filled with fun stuff. The old trunks here in the attic are stuffed with years of accumulation and are being made ready for emptying so keep a look out for some great items on eBay. For instance, the attic wench just listed a 1914 cast iron baseball bank that hadn't seen the light of day for nearly 93 years.

Someone is calling from kitchen for the attic wench to join them for tea and scones. She'll be back later to finish digging through the old trunks to see what else she can find. Meanwhile, enjoy the colors of fall through the attic window and stay warm.
