Hi all!

Wow, When you try to renovate a building that is over 100 years old, some surprises happen, lol So this is just to say, no, we won't be open on March 5th, but will keep you all posted with pictures on Facebook, and here on our site's homepage. I want it done right, since its an old wood-frame building. Thanks for understanding, Alicia

Well this weeks forecast does not want me to get out of my warm place and go re-model some more, but someones gotta do it! lol

Check out our affiliates programs, the banners on the site, leads you to great deals I found on the net! 

Looks like we are in for some nasty weather, freezing rain by 6am tomorrow morning, not my cup of tea! Everyone check the road conditions before heading out, take care :) I am waiting for the spring thaw......anyone else?

Well, its officially 2010, lets hope that the Chinese New Year calendar is correct, with this being the year of the Tiger, lets hope for peace, and prosperity for all of us. God Bless,
Alicia Keto-Earles and Family

Today, it was so cold, that the back door of the store, that is an insulated metal door, was Frozen Shut, ahhhh..... So, its a good thing we are closed to the public,since that is the fire exit door...
We have been getting in new inventory, for our grand re-opening, today we got in DC comics of bronze age
Superman, Batman, vintage Comico Comics, also, brand NEW DVD's, Educational books, and DVD books, in case you just want to kick back with the headphones,lol
We also got in a bunch of really great antique books, some as old as 1809, old school primers and yearbooks, in awesome shape, makes you wonder who would just give up such a personal item. I also have carnival glass coming, lets home that the fed-ex man is careful when he brings it,lol Chat later, be a fan on Facebook, and get more info there too.

Hello all, well today, we took the trees down out of the front store window, packed all the ornaments and things up, put up plastic in the window, with the "closed for remodeling" sign.
I got on a ladder and lifted a few of the false ceiling tiles, and found out there are things that need to be addressed by the electrician when he comes in mid-January. In the back-room, realized that there are 4 vents to cover, as well as 2 windows and an old door, from when it was a bakery, way back in the day, living in a building that was built in the late part of the 1800's, and the only wood frame building left on Main Street, has its oddities, like for instance, we found old newspapers that were in the walls, I assume for insulation,lol we have our work cut out for us updating this old girl, but she will look great when she is done

Well,

Don't tell me that you are done shopping for Christmas, there is always ONE last thing you forgot, or someone gave you something, need a little something for an neighbor, Co-Worker? We still have lots of nice things here, don't forget, we will be closed for remodeling from Dec. 24th-March 5th! All our websites will still be open, and hope to see you all at our grand-re-opening! Happy Holidays, Alicia Earles and Family!
