Stop in the shop, lots of collectibles and other neat stuff added every week. Please use links or click on images to go to the item pages.

Okay the cold is gone and I got to the market on Sunday. My van was loaded with lots of assorted gibberish that was hanging around so it was a hit and miss day, but got rid of a lot of shall we say "lower end stuff". Still digging around here and adding all kinds of assorted stuff as we find it. Have an auction Saturday and hopefully get rid of what I put in, and maybe not bring to much new stuff home.
