14. I want to do that

I know people want things that are marked or have org. tags, advertising, and locally Fenton Glass. And then, they rely on the seller to know what they have and be truthful about what it is, how old it is, and condition.

I've collected since I was 8. Had a shop in the 70s with my s-i-l, set up at flea markets, have had yard sales, and had booths in other places. I've been inactive since 2016, and some things change. That's kind of why I'm going to offer more midcentury and newer. Any advice from people who have been active in recent years is much appreciated.

Thank you. Hope your daughter loves what she does
