Wow, what a week. There is lots to tell you about but let us first start with the weather and SNOW!
***
Winter Snow
You know, as Charlie and I were driving into the shop last Saturday, we were wondering just how stupid we were opening up the store on such a wintery, snowy day. As it turned out, there were lots of people out shopping and enjoying the infrequent snow in the South. While at the shop that day, I had a chance to walk through the cemetary next door during "the blizzard". It was beautiful and you know I couldn't resist taking pictures.
Winter in the South with snow on a magnolia, how perfect.

Mystery Object
The sidebar has the fourth and final picture of the mystery object for January. As a hint, this object would probably have been used at the counter of a general store or any type of retail establishment where purchases were wrapped up. So far, we have one and only one correct guess. So give it a try!

Auction
Tuesday night, Charlie went to an auction and found quite a few wonderful treasures. Here are a few pictures of some of his finds.
An Incredible Enamel Rexall Sign
A very tall lamp wooden lamp body- in fact, it is my height, 5'6". When Charlie bought it, it was covered with dirt and the painted design was barely visible. Now it is all cleaned up and a beautiful Japanese lady, along with other elements, has been revealed.
A cake, pie and biscuit box, all-in-one.
This is one of many, many buttons. (More pictures to follow next week.) I looked online for a Jackie Gleason button and found none.

Warehouse Consignment Estate Sale - February 14-16, 2008 (next door to our shop)
We are still getting ready for the sale starting February 14th. Here are a few more pictures of what you'll find. Hope you are saving the date!
************Last, but not least, our stained glass salesman stopped by today. He has quite a variety of stained glass available which we can get for you. Here is another example of what he has. (He is holding it up for me to take a picture while we are both standing in the back of his truck.)

Take care, have a great week and stay warm!
Charlie and Chris
