Today is Juneteenth. I have complicated feelings about this day, mostly along the lines of... have we just replaced one kind of slavery with another? I just reposted a poem by Miss Spoken Poet that captures this perfectly. Go check it out.

I became a serious reader of poetry in the second half of my 40s. I've come to believe that if you want to know what's really going on beneath all the headlines and all the spin at any time in history, tune into the poets.

Today, I'm sharing a poem titled "America" from this book. It's by Carrie Williams Clifford, written sometime between 1900-1918.

This dude has the dignified air of a courthouse statue commemorating a dog who did absolutely nothing of note but looked very sad while not doing it. He will be making his debut in my vendor booth at Darberrys Antiques tomorrow. Come, experience these jowls in person.

Came for the basset, stayed for the jowls. This depressingly handsome dude will be making his appearance in the store tomorrow morning. Come and see us at Darberrys Antiques in Lambertville.

Two 1970s Ficks Reed bamboo and wood chair frames. Just dropped everything to jump in the car and pick them up. Going to clean them up and then post for sale. Hit me up if you want to make an offer to take them as-is. Frankly, they’re gorgeous already.
Sourced from a 1920’s Jenkintown estate.

David Hockney. Glad to have shared this planet with him for a while. A legend.

Kids, I've been blessed by the sourcing gods lately. And now I kinda want to move into my antique booth!

Look at the mid-century goodness I've got going on! Yes, that's a Kofod Larsen chair with a "Made in Denmark" stamp on the bottom.
(Hot tip: I picked up FOUR killer MCM chairs but could only fit one in the booth this time! More to come!)
(But they're all different. Don't get excited about having a set because you won't have one.)
(But seriously, don't be sad. Because 1 incredible chair is better than 0 incredible chairs.)

I've also got these rattan shelves that I almost kept. Well, I guess I could still keep them because no one has bought them yet. But... dammit... I won't keep them even though I have the perfect spot for them.

And that little globey lamp? It makes me so happy I could cry. Seriously. (I cry a lot, y'all.) What else? Oh yeah. How about all that art all over the place? I hung a buncha new stuff.

So after doing this for a few weeks, I have to say that I really love making a whole new thang in my my booth every week or two. And I also love selling my stuff and making people happy. But I also have those moments where I'm so happy with how the booth looks RIGHT NOW that I kind of don't want the store to open tomorrow.

But open it will. Check it out. I'm in the back corner at Darberrys Antiques in Lambertville.

I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but if you’re not listening to the audio on this one, you are really missing out.

Shad Fest is this weekend! I’ve got fish to spare. Unfortunately, none of them are shad.
