Gillette Showcase, Candy Container, Railroad Lock, Collectibles


**********************************
We added an interesting assortment of goodies to the shop over the weekend from a Kramer rhinestone brooch to a railroad switch lock & key. Hey might as well cover all the bases.
Wasn't such a good weekend weather wise or for buying other than Friday. The estate sale we went to friday was written better than the sale actually was. But managed to pick up a small bunch of stuff. Saturday and Sunday we hit a few odd sales and pretty much was a time waster, but one must try. Ever though the weather was damp and drizzly its good to get back to running around to the sales.

Have my last auction until September on April 11th, am I ready, not at all. But merch will come in and merch will go out. Over the May - August season it doesn't pay to have auctions around here, too much going on with yard sales, town wide sales, flea markets and people doing the pool thing, the beach scene etc. Both consignors and buyers are busy with spring /summer life.

New stuff added to the shop.
