December's Marching On!

The second week in December and it has been in the 70's - can you believe it? I feel like we are living the Hawaiian climate without the benefit of the ocean.

I had breakfast with friends this week and we had a discussion about using up the earth's resources, recycling, etc. Although I've thought about this before, I started thinking again about the antique/collectibles business and realize that's what we and our customers do. We recycle, restore, reuse and repurpose wonderful items from the past.

Speaking of marching, this week's first two pictures show two of eight members of "Santa's Marching Band" by Mr. Christmas. There are seven band members and Santa who play 35 different carols.They have been so much fun to watch and to hear. They just bring a smile to your face.

The green cabinet is done! It is just missing the drawer handles and the search is on for those. $395


Can't say that I would have ever thought of cutting a gallon jug in half and using it to serve an appetizer. A cheese board is under the top half and I would think you could put crackers, chips, etc. in the bottom half.

$15

Didn't post a picture of a marionette last week but had to show you this guy and see if you know who he is. He looks familiar but we can't place the character. Anyone know him?

Tree Idea (Repurposing?)
How about hanging cookie cutters?

Stocking Suffers

We have a large inventory of old US coins that would be great stocking stuffers.

Don't forget that Weekend Treasures has our goat's milk soap line. These soaps would be wonderful stocking stuffers. If you ever use it, you'll be very impressed. There are soaps for both males and females.
