Garage sale season is winding down here in Indiana. The signs are disappearing. The folding tables are being put away. People are apparently deciding that October is a perfectly reasonable time to stop selling their old junk in their driveways. I disagree with this decision!

Auction Haul: Wednesday, October 7, 2026 Seventy-two degrees. Not a cloud in the sky. A perfect Indiana fall day. You know what makes a perfect fall day even better? AN AUCTION. And because I needed to restock my booth at Dutch Lady Antiques in Nappanee anyway, and the auction just happened to be in Nappanee, it seemed perfectly reasonable to combine the two. Two errands. One trip. Look at me being efficient. THE DAY STARTED WITH A DONUT. I arrived at Dutch Lady Antiques right as they opened...

One of the auction staff told me this was going to be a HUGE auction. He had been at the property for weeks sorting through everything.
