Collectibles and otherthings

Packed up a bunch of stuff in one shed, will take some to storage tomorrow. Filled a large postcard order to day. Went to the dinner for late lunch / dinner.

Todays ramblings:

I've been finding boxes that I haven't looked in for years and actually discovering some neat stuff. Actually many small collections that I started but never really got into. The only things that I actually collect and some are also what I sell are
vintage kitchenware,graniteware, advertising tins, and penquins. Use to collect Mickey Mouse stuff but stopped a few years ago when I realized I had over 50 banana boxes full and no where to display them so I weeded them out and now only have about 100 or so small Mickey items. Started to collect small nodders, candy containers and 1950's hard plastic stuff. But they were getting very hard to find and prices were getting out of hand. Also have small collection of ramp walkers and white knob wind-ups. And many little collections of 4-5 of this and 1/2 dozen of that. Have probably 200 pounds of paper items to go through some day. While I was down with the cancer and in the hospital a few times I had nightmares of all my stuff in an auction being sold by the tray or box lot. (Horrors!) So decided to break in to the Zillion Item Retirement Hoard sooner than I wanted. It's amazing what one can accumulate. Oh yeah, and then there are the postcards a few thousand of them. It seems that any thing that was hollow got stuffed with goodies. Oh and the miniatures, dollhouse type stuff, lots of that. Did I mention the restaurant china? That was mainly bought to sell, but I was buying it faster than selling it so the pile grew. Actually that how a lot of stuff multiplied, buy five sell two. Okay gotta go add some more to the shop. Stay tuned from the next episode.

Got some items ready to add to shop, but out of energy at the moment.Hopefully can get them added to shop tomorrow.

See ya, Country Joe
