Happy New Year!
Here we are at the
threshold of a new year and just as important, a new decade! So what
does our future hold for us? Unless you're a psychic only time will
tell. One thing is for sure; the general feeling I've been
getting is that most people are looking forward to a much better
tomorrow. Amen to that! Adding to the
celebrations of bringing in a new year and decade, we had a Once
in a Blue Moon occurrence of a once in a blue moon event.
Hmmm....what? Okay, it means we had a 2nd full moon of the month in
December and it was on New Year's Eve. I didn't know it, but this only
occurs once in a blue moon or about every 20 years. I also didn't know
that having two full moons in the same month isn't as rare as
one would think since it occurs about every two and half
years. It should be noted that none of moons in either event are
actually blue. No worries...that's where we come in. |
This month our news is
all about merchandise. To start off the year right, we've added a
group of items the other day and have another group in the works. Below
is only a sampling:

One of our consigners indicated that she may
be slashing her prices on all of her clothing after the first of the year.
Most of her items are for our career minded customers and are of high
quality. Keep a look out for the reductions to happen sometime this week.
Below are a few of the gorgeous and
original artworks by an artist from Idaho that we're very honored to
showcase on our site.

to create a blanket for your baby or as a gift. Considering what you're
getting, these blankets are very inexpensive. The blankets below can be

Springtime for a wedding runs a distant 3rd
behind summer and fall, yet the season is probably the most beautiful of
the three and is considered the time of rebirth and renewal. My
favorite month of the spring season is May, when the weather is warmer
and the breezes are gentle. To me, May is a perfect time for a wedding.
If you agree and haven't yet purchased your wedding gown, now may be the
time to start shopping since there's only about four months left. We can
help you out with our lower prices for new designer gowns and we have
one previously worn, designer wedding gown priced way below original
retail. |

 One
of our customer's is looking for old and crude glass, pottery and
porcelain insulators.
Pretty and bright colors with patent dates are a plus.
Telegraph, telephone, electric power and lightning rod insulators.
He especially would like anything odd and unusual. The photos are samples I
