fun at the store

a fellow junker..

jon and our carpenter...he makes the biggest archetectural things

ruth and lisa....

a friend with her new puppy

me and carol and timmy

a buddy loving the big pile of haviland

and the chuckler....with his dog clem...

we get the neatest people.... and lots seem to be fond of their dogs...

SHAMELESS CHUCKLING ...... this is a good old customer..above ..he was buying a pile of our price guides....and an unmarked cookie jar for 9$...he hadnt paid yet.....he called me over and showed me the cookie jar ,,,,then showed me in the mc coy book he was buying the same jar for 5o$ he was shamelessly chuckling....

EXPERT ADVICE....ANOTHER CUSTOMER works in big time design....like for big spaces like hospitals etc....so i tried to pick her brain on what we could do better at the store ...layout wise.... she said we did well....i pressed her for more....and she said get a better location....lol..so impossible.... thats our weak point....we are out in the country in rural indiana.... with no driveby....

you never know what you will find at a yardsale....my dear young grandson went yardsaling with his dad , jon, saturday....and he knows i like bottle cap art and funny folk art....he saw some beer can people made with cans and bottle caps and bought them from a nice farm lady...,.,,then the little old lady said ...he does something...lift the can up.... a giant male thingy pops up.......poor jon!!!

SHE SAID THE RIGHT THING.....today a woman came in with a big beautiful dog...not on a leash.... i came up to her and said i cant have a big dog in here....she was unflappable...and said ive been here before and i love your furniture and i came to buy a whole lot of It.... and i cant leave the dog in the car because its too hot.... i totally, SHAMELESSLY , changed my rule....it worked out great....and im so glad she came....
