so it feels good around here, we are packed full....i got some of the christmas from last week into the half price room....

...4H........we have had several kids in lately looking for things for their recycled projects..... one looked so fun and different.......a paned window on top of a chicken crate with porchpost legs.....for a coffee table....seems like a great way to enter the wonderful world of rehabbing and creating with the used and the antique....i always give them http://www.robojunker.com/ for all kinds of recycled ideas...

i love this place ,,one day i get to hear reports about the rich and famous or the big time decorators and how they are shopping, from my dealer customers who do the big shows and the next day i hear about a creative little kid looking for a 4h project...or a country mom needing the right thing for her porch... ...funny thing is, all might be looking at and buying from us the same kind of thing....

like the mop bucket jon got......it was left for the trash pick up after an auction....we got it....it was what they call a Cadillac, it has the wringer on it and wheels..... that day it was a total reject with no value.... jon kept it for awhile and finally brought it out...we put a price on it and it sold to a big house on an expensive lake and now it has a new life ....to keep the beer cold on the deck... maybe it will be in a magazine someday if that house gets featured....

we will be a mess today...with a big load of boxes to deal with....but it should all be out and priced by the weekend.....we are dealing with 4 pallets of new stuff in 2 days, FROM 2 PLACES...that doesnt usually happen..we got half of it done yesterday.....i am always amazed to see a big 53ft truck maneuver into our dock...its as long as our parkinglot.....
