It has been so cold and rainy all spring that we finally have one warm summer day and it's excrutiating. The towels aren't drying, the chips are limp and it's hard to breathe it's so humid. There is lots and lots of moisture in the air.

Traffic over the past weekend was heavy but the folks didn't seem to have much money to spend. There were many appreciative lookers though and we had such a successful week last week it didn't really matter about the weekend.

Here are more barn shots for now. I'm off to do an appraisasl in Holderness tonite for insurance purposes. Have you considered your collections and what they're worth? Make sure they are properly listed and insured on your home-owners because it can be a simple nightmare to re-create after the fact. If nothing else, be sure you go around your house and shoot pictures of every nook and cranny and open every drawer, cupboard, etc. It's very important.

Happy 5th of July!

It's been a busy week or more here in Wolfeboro.

A week ago I was part of an appraisal clinic & happy hour event at the Coe House in Center Harbor which was wonderful. It was a fundraiser for the Community Caregiveres of Center Harbor and cost attendees $35 pp and they received my free verbal appraisal and wonderful wine and a bevy of appetizers. It was all Delicious and I do mean with a capital D I believe there were more then 90 people who came.
I especially loved the breadth and quality of the items. I found 2 wonderful Lancaster County PA jacquard coverlets - one of which was signed and dated. They were in fabulous condition with bold, vibrant patterns and graphics. I appraised them at $2,000 & $3,000 each.

I also found quite a few oil paintings, etchings, lithographs, and even a folio size Currier & Ives of Lake Winnipesaukee. It was an enjoyable evening and all for a good cause.
