i really want to have something special for customers who have been coming for over 20 yrs..there are a bunch of them!!!

..one was definitely a fun customer this week.....he said" i just sold something i got from you 30 yrs aGO": I FIGURED IT WAS SOMETHING HE JUST DUG OUT...BUT NO ...HE SAID IT HAD BEEN IN HIS CASE FOR 32 YRS!!!! it was pretty nice...real gold owl with ruby eyes little emeralds for his breast and diamonds on his tail.....

another fun one this week.....a barefoot librarian...in a pretty dress...

......and a little girl telling her mom...you can even shop in the bathroom...


and then there was

....the nice englishman bringing us another oar cupboard...


aND THE HUSBAND of the week has to be the guy who bought his wife 2 big beautiful antique oak drawer units for her cookie cutter collection....

WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR OUR LONGTIME CUSTOMERS WHO TELL OTHERS ABOUT US OR BRING NEW PEOPLE TO THE STORE.OR BRING OTHER STORES TO US WHO BUY OUR DISPLAYS AND COUNTERS.... ...LATELY ITS FEELING LIKE KIDS DAY OUT THERE...WE ARE SELLING LOTS TO YOUNG FAMILIES ......
