I have created this Bonanza Sales Booth too:
1. Make available for Adoption some great Antiques and Older Collectibles that need new homes. It is important that another generation again take responsibility for these items for they are not just things. They are our collective memories, our History, and Past Culture. They were important items to family generations past, should they not also be important to us. The future takes care of itself, but the past needs our constant care and prayer.
2. As a way for Mother Nature and myself to subsidize our income which is needed, and also leave flexibility of our time to pursue our other our other interests. Those being Church, Family [Grandchildren], Gardens, Fishing, Dance and Music, Travel, [and of course], Each Other.
Fathertime sells exclusively through the Internet on our Bonanza Adopt an Antique Booth. We sincerely hope you like what you see in our booth, as we only sell what we love and attach importance too.
If you Find something of interest please message me and get any needed details regarding Item-Shipping-Insurance-and Payment. Remember Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed

February 1, 2018, The postal services is at it again, Big Time. I have just had to take hours editing my listings for shipping costs. Believe me there is NO free shipping. The first class package has taken a large increase going from 4.29 last January to 5.50 this January for 13 Oz. As a result where possible and practical I have edited listings to Media Mail pricing. It will save you money. BUT if you do want First Class or Priority let me know BEFORE you purchase and I will make it happen by editing the listing. I regret having to upward adjust other First Class listings. I hope the Post Office is not killing the Golden Goose. If you have a concern you are welcome to message me.......Fathertime
April 30, 2018, What a long winter we have had. Just now getting back to outside planting, and tomorrow is May Day a favorite spring day of the year. May is a great month don't you think. Just maybe I can sneak in a day of fishing.
Sept 30, 2018, The garden season is drawing to another close, The freezer is filled, The baskets are filled and I am tired. There were some success and some failures this year. But there is always another year God willing. Ah, but know my thoughts are on Bonanza and listings. So much to list. You can always follow for the newest listing and future sale events. Have a blessed fall Season...…….Fathertime
March 22, 2019, It looks like I made it through another South Central Wisconsin Winter. Just finished Ice Fishing here and let me tell you it was a bad season. Mother Nature tells me I need to catch some fish as we are getting low. But there is hope, there is still Ice in the north of the state ans some fish are biting. I will need to check that out. We have started some yard and garden clean up here at home. Have had a nice sunny week.
The Post Office sure threw a curve ball this January to sellers. I took me many hours to get that reconciled with my listings. I get the feeling that the PO is trying to suck every dollar possible and then some out of internet sellers. If left unchecked they will kill off the Golden Goose.
Then there is the Sales Tax issues. That for another time, But on a better note.
I have now passed a couple Bonanza events, Ten years exclusive on Bonanza and 2100+ listings. For betteror worse I have put all my eggs in the Bonanza basket. Mother Nature and I wish you all a great spring season in what ever you are doing.
November 2, 2019: it sure looks like winter outside here in South Wisconsin, there is snow on the ground and way below temps. It does look like it will get better. Most of the garden work is now put to rest, but not all. The fish poles are all hung up for the season, the kayaks are sleeping. Some house maintenance has been done with more to do before we get are real Wisconsin winter. A new computer was needed this summer that is always a headache and on top of that my email address after 20 years needed to be changed.
But now the time is coming for the serious Bonanza listing season. I have been collecting some great items for you to collect, Antique, and Collectible items . Books and Memorabilia. I only sell what I love and can be excited about. If you too are a fan of the past and want to hold it in your hand and listen to the story it tells you visit the Adopt an Antique booth here on Bonanza. There are always new listings at this time of year. You may see something that strikes a cord and the strikes to the core. The easy way to follow is just that add us to your favorites list. So you can visit us often, Best Wishes, Fathertme

November 11, 2020: Today is Armistice Day that we honor. At this time we are also shifting gears to our inside work, Cleaning, and Sorting and researching Flea Market and Bonanza listings. We had a successful outdoor gardening and fishing season. Most of our flea markets were canceled but we have hopes for the coming season. Please check over our bonanza listings for this up coming Christmas season. We wish you a Blessed Christmas season............Fathertime
December 30, 2020: Well it has happened we have come to an end of a troubling year. I for one want to start over with the thought of better conditions and situations for 2021. The date December 28, 2020 is also the beginning of my Thirteenth year on selling on Bonanza. There have been many changes here, progress has been made. Near 900 sales have been made to satisfied customers. Bonanza is not the largest selling site, but there is satisfaction and it is the least stressful to set up on and sell in my opinion. I welcome you to celebrate with me twelve years on Bonanza. Take a look at the Adopt an Antique Booth, What do you think? Your comments and thoughts are always welcome. Send me a message.
