The artists paper work should be sold as a group and made into a book to be sold to people who buy and collect her work! Good luck with the auction and Merry Christmas!
I am loving the find of Mary's paper drawings and notes, amazing. I found your channel because of Mary and I love her work. Congrats on the find Alex. peace
Mary is a gift as an individual who keeps on giving and sharing her creativity and unique abilities. She continues to help make this world a better place through her beautiful art.
Alex !it’s good to have a clear out ,perhaps you have forgotten some of the items you have brought ,I watched the sale of Mary’s pottery,your a truly a kind decent human bean with a good heart an soul ,good luck with all you do lv Ann
Good idea. I bought what I thought was some newspapers from Back to the Future, Hill Valley Telegraph. It was cheap, 10 USD, but turned out to be A4 paper sheet copies... My wrong, but looks nice framed on my wall.
Mary’s house is how I found your channel, so super excited to see a bit more of her genius in this video. Bravo and I wish you lots of luck at the auction. 👍😊🇨🇦
Hi Alex! I imagine this was one of the most difficult auctions to get ready for. It was emotional for me...I can only imagine what it was like for you to part with some of these treasures. Thinking of you and wishing you the best ever with this sale!
@@CuriosityIncorporated Hey Alex, nice to see you again as always 😊 and thank you for your nice reply! I can only reiterate, that I think you are one of the most courageous, loving and dedicated people I have ever had the privilege of actually having the chance to talk to! Blessings, my friend!
Wonderful choices. You are making decisions that will make your family more secure. Good idea to balance the debt ratio and create flow of goods through your shop while beefing up the international side of your business with such high quality items!
How I love seeing a new Curiosity upload. Six hundred items is a BIG project, but Alex is up to the task. That horned chair has been around since the days of your old shop. Why don't you auction off that oriental-looking statue of a lovely black lady? She has been around for years without selling. My hearts twinges at the purple Ansonia clock like the one my mom left to me. I sold it at a charity fund-raiser for just $15. I hope you get at least 10 times that much for it. Mary's legacy continues to b;less you. Here's wishing you a great return on your items.
I can tell this is really hard for you. A couple times you looked close to tears...sniff sniff! You are a good person to think of the future like this, for you and your family! Keep the videos coming. I can't wait to hear how the comic book auction went. :)
That green wall clock is very similar to one my parents had up on the dining room wall for many years. It was a cream colour. My family emigrated from England to Australia in 1959 and this was one of the pieces Mum & Dad brought with them.
The pinball machines will help you reach your goal. There are people isolated at home during this pandemic and the pinball machine for the family is just what help them keep active. Mary is still giving with her talent.
I always love looking at all that stuff! But I used to own a bunch of stuff too. I know what it's like to be overwhelmed. I do not want to be that way again. That's why I watch this channel!😃😃😃😃
Good for you, Alex. You have to take your foot off first, to get to second base. You are really moving this inventory in a way that will pay off for you, with the new build. There will always be more goodies to find, too!
Alex, you sure do have the " stuff " from a to z i love it !! Notice items I've seen before in my travels as you pan the camera around youre fantastic store..I saw some vintage bicycle items in youre fantastic display cases ..I once was in a Classic bicycle club and I was restoring bikes and parts ...I'm getting back into this sort of stuff !! And having fun all over again... I hope this virus is gone soon so I can visit youre store ..I'm thinking on opening a store as well ( I had stores in my past ...and I still have the bug to run one ). Have a great two auctions !! You sure have quality and rare items ...I'm always amazed at youre videos and content ...great , great !! You and yourd family be healthy and safe and youre sister here in the states my freind . From Royal Oak Michigan / Tom
Completely understand paying down debts...I paid my house off in 8 years, never carried debt, etc.....i did without things others were buying to insure security of wife and family but never did without, invested regularly, made huge difference to retire early.
So , as I’ve just found you and totally binge watching I’m distraught that MY two favorite Mary B pieces are going away ...the square vase 😢 omg, and THAT mask, lol the only 2 I would have kept 💗
I'm thinking I would rotate everything and move it to the auction no matter what it is every 6 months that's on the shelves to keep it fresh love your videos can't wait till the next video
Really curious how you log how much you paid for items, decide what items are worth, and pricing. Do you have everything on a spread sheet? Always interested in how people organize their business and you seem to be methodical in your approach. Been following you since the Potter's House, and truly enjoy your channel.
I can just hear your background music ,which funnily enough is the intro music to a Mudlarking channel from Wales I also watch on TH-cam... good choice..👍☺️
Wow! another update, was looking out for one as a distraction from the the US election debarcle. So good to see Mary's pottery designs and her pots and scribblings, how cool. Great bunch of stuff Alex. From Saturday evening in New Zealand. Hi to all the clan.
I have to go and check out that auction. Not that I need more stuff haha but you know how it is no matter how much you already have if a good deal comes up you grab it. I will soon be shipping some items to a guy in Red Deer as soon as the e-transfer is done. So some of my stuff will be headed your way.
13:53 I hope that RCA Solitaire goes for a good price, being 24 carat gold plated and has that catalin front panel. Be sure to put in the description that it was THE most expensive personal portable made. The 54B series personal sets next to it should do pretty good as well..
Lol... 600 pieces... you won't even see there is something gone... lol Hope you gain some money... you deserve it... for your wonderful family and all the projects in the future... good luck and hang in there... Enjoy your life...
@@ivydickson7596 I 've been in the clan for awhile, thought I was first looking at the video. Glad to see some more less expensive Mary Borgstrom items up for bid. I might have to investigate ....for a friend of course!!
@@CuriosityIncorporated I had a neighhbour and his premise for"Is it full yet?"his response,"Can I put a wet finger inbetween;if not..now its full"Alex,your drive and focus is marvelous
Hi Alex, the one thing I really liked or the thing I liked the most and think is the best piece is the face by Mary although i'm intrigued to find out how much it will make, I think I may have held onto it a while longer if I were you that is, good luck and all the best to you all.
Mary seems to keep on giving to you. I don't know if you have even thought of this buy why not name the new edition after Mary or whatever you have planned to place in it. Been enjoying your channel and it's nice to find someone who has a lot of knowledge. From Kansas so getting up North to see you isn't possible but will keep watching.
Those items of Mary's like her "recipe book" should be included in her archives. You may want to set some aside for a museum. Very important items there!
I wish I had known about the pen and seal kit. My own damned fault! I do have a little something for you but getting up and around is hard at the moment. Now I will have to participate in the auction.
Hey Alex, just an idea for Mary's notes; before you sell the originals compose them into a booklet so her knowledge can be spread wider, alternatively print them in a journal or upload them to a dedicated website?
No! not the pinball machines!! You know the values of these have gone up since the pandemic and i'm sure the space will be quickly filled by something else! Good luck Alex, you will have the extension paid for before you know it. I would have loved to be at that meeting where someone came up with the idea of a London bus that talks!
Do you ever find yourself narrating your life when the camera is not on? You do a great job in making us feel like we are there, I think that's why your channel is so successful. Thanks for the fun.
Blessed to see more Mary 🙏 thank you for sharing her with us again..made my heart warm tonight
You are so welcome
Sad to see Mary's things go. You have been a very good steward of them. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you kindly

You are doing the right thing Alex, it will all be worth the peace of mind it brings to you and your wonderful family! Cheers!!! K.
Mary just keeps giving to you! 🙂🙂🙂
Mary was The gift that keeps giving. You were blessed to know her. ❤️❤️❤️
Alex !it’s good to have a clear out ,perhaps you have forgotten some of the items you have brought ,I watched the sale of Mary’s pottery,your a truly a kind decent human bean with a good heart an soul ,good luck with all you do lv Ann
Alex,
Best wishes to you, Melissa and the family.
This is only the beginning.
Cheers,

Make copies of the pottery recipes to have a digital set that you could offer for sale as a download.
Viewer19 yes, good idea
I was thinking the same. A little shame to just chatter it, maybe worldwide without first doing that ☺️
Yes, I see a book in the making....
Good idea. I bought what I thought was some newspapers from Back to the Future, Hill Valley Telegraph. It was cheap, 10 USD, but turned out to be A4 paper sheet copies... My wrong, but looks nice framed on my wall.
I love seeing all the beautiful old things. Thank you for showing them.
Mary’s house is how I found your channel, so super excited to see a bit more of her genius in this video. Bravo and I wish you lots of luck at the auction. 👍😊🇨🇦
Marys house was my favorite videos wish you could buy or clean out another FULL house :)
There could never be another house to touch Mary's!
You have kept me positive when downsizing my stuff! Thanks Alex.
Really interesting and beautiful pieces that you have picked out for the auction. I am sure all your hard work will pay off. Good luck!
Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you'll land among the stars! ❤️
Your channel is really cool to watch, nice to see unique items. I hope you make a lot of money, you deserve all the success ever❤️👍🏼☃️

Looks like the makings of a fabulous auction. You worked hard for this one. Wishing you all the best from Central CA.
Hope the auction will go well for you.

Hi Alex , hoping the auction goes well . You are looking tired , take time for yourself.
If anyone can, you can Alex...we're pretty sure you'll do very, very well!
The best of luck Alex
thanks Suzi!

You definitely are excited about that stuff. So much that you mentioned some things twice, which is adorable.
Hope you guys are doing alright! It’s been a though couple of months for all of us especially small business owners, we’ll pull through together!
sad to see more of Mary's stuff going and the pinball machines!! ;-( good luck on your auction !!!!!
I always love looking at all that stuff! But I used to own a bunch of stuff too. I know what it's like to be overwhelmed. I do not want to be that way again. That's why I watch this channel!😃😃😃😃
Im sure the auction will do really well.
I'm gonna miss the mask 😭😭
Jet Spin is great fun to play. Classic pinball machine.
Good for you, Alex. You have to take your foot off first, to get to second base. You are really moving this inventory in a way that will pay off for you, with the new build. There will always be more goodies to find, too!
Thanks for sharing and caring! Stay Safe!!
I used to complain that I was sick of continuing to pay for things that have already worn out! Now I’m more likely to wear out than the stuff I have.
To Wanda Pease..I laughed at your comment.I'm with you.ha ha
Me too. Your comment made me laugh.

Good luck on the sale, wish we were closer I'd love to come shop in person.

Fab choices Alex, much luck to you and your lovely family! Keep up the great work! 🙂

After watch your recent musicians home cleanup, you may need a bigger store!😃 Thank you for sharing
I'm still watching you vlog. Good luck at the auction alex. peace
I can just hear your background music ,which funnily enough is the intro music to a Mudlarking channel from Wales I also watch on TH-cam... good choice..👍☺️
Oh at :41 through :47 you have a Schultz and Dooley set of steins from Utica Club Brewery, my hometown! I still have mine LOL
Good luck Alex.
I love the leather jacket and moccasins. They look fairly old so must be old style beading. I'd love to see them up close lol
Wow! another update, was looking out for one as a distraction from the the US election debarcle. So good to see Mary's pottery designs and her pots and scribblings, how cool. Great bunch of stuff Alex. From Saturday evening in New Zealand. Hi to all the clan.

Enjoyed
I want the Beatles record. Im going to have to bid on that and maybe buy myself a Christmas present!
Let it be? 😁
Uh oh! I was thinking the same thing
Prob a reissue..looks too new for original
You can do it! 🙌
Good Luck with the sale!
Good luck with the auction. 👍🏾💯❤️. Hugz
Busy week but should pay off in the end 🤷🏻♀️😉😉🤗🤗🤗🙋🏻♀️🇬🇧💕

Many nice items. Must have been some hard choices , this week. Hope it works out for your family.
it was tough for sure.. but we are hoping to make it a special sale :)
Will be watching the auction closely. Will have to pop into the store and see what it looks like with a bit more breathing room!
Lol... 600 pieces... you won't even see there is something gone... lol
Hope you gain some money... you deserve it... for your wonderful family and all the projects in the future... good luck and hang in there...
Enjoy your life...
Wow, so much great stuff! It’s going to be a great auction!👍🏼
First, first time!! Love you Archbold's!!!
Welcome Pam to the Archbold clan.
@@ivydickson7596 I 've been in the clan for awhile, thought I was first looking at the video. Glad to see some more less expensive Mary Borgstrom items up for bid. I might have to investigate ....for a friend of course!!
I have a feeling that even by removing 600 items, the place still is full...
it is still full... but I notice a difference. had to move things around a little. :)
It's the shop version of the Tardis.

Heh I see one item i'll probably be bidding on. Kastner is just down the street from me as well.
I wish I had known about the pen and seal kit. My own damned fault! I do have a little something for you but getting up and around is hard at the moment. Now I will have to participate in the auction.
Goo Good luck bro love from 🇦🇺 Australia
Awesome again 🎸🎸🎸🎸
I bet selecting then pricing each item was like revisiting old friends. Good Luck!
Hey Alex, just an idea for Mary's notes; before you sell the originals compose them into a booklet so her knowledge can be spread wider, alternatively print them in a journal or upload them to a dedicated website?
It’s amazing the amount of stuff you have,,,,it’s seems half of it is hiding in you’re store

Haven’t started talking to myself just yet :)
Alex, if you come across a sketch (drawing) that has a bird in it and it really looks 1950-ish. I’d like to purchase that. Please.
I lOVED the Kitty Plate!! Can you go back and get it? LOL,
