From Out of the Past: 2011

Oops - Left off the guy stuff

OOPS - LEFT OFF THE GUY STUFF

Doesn't everyone have a boat and trailer plus another boat trailer in their antique store? Well, we do and they are priced ready to roll and float - whichever is needed. I mistakenly left these out of the blog I posted this week so please check them out too. After the boat and trailer, you'll see a tool storage cabinet.

Oh yes, the painting has continued - so much to see!

See you tomorrow or Saturday!

April Fool's Sale

April Fool’s Sale

April Fool’s Day – oh the memories! Well, we aren't tricking you at all as we will be open this Friday and Saturday (April 1 and 2) with great deals. Charlie and Tesa have been busy bees finding new ‘olds’ and putting new life back into them. They've both been to auctions, estate sales and basically scouring the countryside to look for items to sell or improve. As you can see in several of the pictures, he has been painting and painting and painting. All looks really good and very unique. Tesa has been working as well and found some awesome things. Make sure you come by. Many things will be at incredible discounts that you don’t want to miss.

See you either Friday or Saturday!

"Best-Laid Plans...."

"Best-laid plans...." to quote Robert Burns, happens to all of us, Charlie and I are no exception. Due to legitimate reasons such as the health of a family member of one of the new leasees, the lease on the shop had to be cancelled last Thursday. We are disappointed but thoroughly understand. With that said, we are not under immediate pressure to move. What now? We are continuing to clean out and will be open periodically - at this point, probably quarterly. I plan to continue to post the blog and will definitely send out emails to let you know what he has found (you know he can't stop the hunt). Thank you to all that came by to see us during the last three weeks. We really appreciate you friendship and business.

Charlie and Chris

p.s. If you are looking for a particular item - furniture, etc. let us know and we'll keep our eyes open for you.

p.p.s. Randall from next door, will be open. If the carriage doors are open, he is there. If you haven't stopped by to see all of his wares and art, you have missed out. So, give it a whirl, I think you'll be glad you did.

BUILDING LEASED - CLEARING OUT SALE - LAST DAYS

Well, three days left (Januray 27-29, 2011) and we will be through. We've sold a lot of merchandise and we thank each and everyone of you who have come to see us. It has been fun seeing you again. Do we have anything left? Of course we do. We have furniture, lamps, smalls, etc. This week, we are going to still reduce everything 40% and will also consider offers. The pictures below show some of the items we have left.

So, what is next?

Since we own the building next door - the one where Randall is set up- we plan to use it and occasionally have sales there. Charlie has the bug and loves finding estates. I'm sure he'll be out there on the search for those great deals and great finds. We will let you know when he has found one.

Several different scales...........

Vintage sewing machines

Silver plate which may have come with oatmeal

Several typewriters

Randall's Finds Next Door

Randall will be open next door during our sale again. Below are some of his finds. The first one is a Coca Cola set from Germany. It includes the cooler and the dishes shown. The other pictures are just a sampling of the glassware and dishes he has available. At the end of the pictures, you will find two of his pencil/charcoal drawings of homes in Lamar and Spalding counties. Charlie and I are so impressed with his talent that we are asking him to draw our house. Stop by to see him when you visit us.

See you this weekend.

Charlie and Chris

CLEARING OUT - BUILDING LEASED - SALE CONTINUES

Thank you to all who came and participated in the sale this past weekend. It was great to see so many of you that we haven't seen since the store 'closed'. We will be open this weekend but starting on Thursday instead of Friday. We will be open Thursday-Saturday (January 21-23) and still, everything is 40% off. (We'll also be open the last weekend of the month, Thursday-Saturday.)

Although we sold a lot, we still have quite a bit left and all of it is looking for a new home. We are even selling the display items - shelves, display cases, etc. Below is a mere sampling of what is available. So, please stop by and see us, we know you will find something you can't live without :).
